Hop into the kitchen and whip up these cute bunny-shaped pancakes. We’ve used wholemeal flour to increase the fibre content. Kids will love getting creative and decorating them with fresh or dried fruit.
Healthy spiced rice pudding
Wholegrain rice makes a delicious, wholesome base for this comforting dessert. We’ve infused it with the same spices you’d find in a hot cross bun to make it a satisfying Easter treat.
Healthy Easter boiled eggs
Easter isn’t all about chocolate eggs. Get kids excited about their savoury counterparts with this cute serving suggestion. Eggs are a great source of protein, too. Read more about their health benefits.

You don’t have to miss out on chocolate if you’re trying to eat healthily. Enjoy these lighter brownies, which are low in fat, with no added sugar and gluten-free. Great for any Easter guests with special diets.
Healthy cookies
Grab a few of these energy-boosting cookies for a quick breakfast, or offer them as snacks to bridge the hunger gap before dinner. They’re a much more nourishing choice than processed Easter cakes and treats.
Healthy falafel scotch eggs

Healthy veg patch hummus
Spoon nutritious, creamy hummus into clean mini plant pots and serve with baby carrots or other crudités. We’ve added plenty of flavour with lemon, garlic and tahini paste, and these pots are vegan, too.
Fruity fondue
Everybody loves melted chocolate, and kids will love dunking berries, melon, grapes or any of their favourite fruits into it. You could even melt leftover Easter eggs, if you have them.
Healthy chocolate milkshake
Easter is for chocolate in all forms. Here, we’ve blitzed banana, avocado, cocoa and soya milk to make a healthier take on milkshake. Sip and enjoy, knowing it’s much better for you than regular milkshakes.
Pesto egg muffin bites
Not quite your regular Easter egg, but these egg bites are still delicious. Plus, they’re simple enough for kids to help make. Simply whisk, crumble in cheese, mix in pesto, bake and enjoy.
