Easter is a wonderful time to gather with family and friends, enjoy delicious food and engage in fun activities. This year, why not make your Easter weekend both enjoyable and healthy? Here are some delicious recipes and creative ideas to make your Easter memorable and nutritious.

Three egg-cellent recipes to try

1. Shakshuka with beans

Before you get into the chocolate eggs, why not serve up fresh eggs for a delicious and nutritious brunch.  Cooked in a tomato sauce with beans and medley of spices, our shakshuka recipe will be a hit!

2. Healthy Easter eggs

Make a batch of bliss balls and shape them into Easter eggs for a healthy alternative to chocolate varieties.  We have five recipes to choose from: carrot cake bliss balls, sultana and coconut bliss balls, chocolate bliss balls, apple and date bliss balls or beetroot and spinach bliss balls.

3. Vegie patch

So easy and so appealing! Everyone will love their own hummus and baby carrot cups. Add a sprig of parsley on top of the carrot for a delightful snack.

5. Pizza carrots

Our easy pizza recipe makes for a delicious lunch or dinner and a fun recipe to get the family involved.  Slice into wedges and pop sprigs of spring onion to make it look like ‘carrots’ for the Easter bunny.
