Healthy Easter Treats You’ll All Love

Real Eggs

For hundreds of years, actual eggs were used to celebrate Easter. Hard-boiled eggs are fun for kids to dye and decorate, and then you can hide them for a traditional Easter egg hunt. Real eggs make genuine healthy Easter treats for you and your family. They’re an excellent source of protein, calcium, iron, potassium, zinc and vitamins A, B2, B5 and B12 – altogether a much healthier alternative to chocolate.

Play-Doh Eggs

Get your hands on some hollow, plastic Easter eggs. These are available at craft stores and big box retailers this time every year. Fashion Play-Doh or modeling clay into egg shapes and place inside the plastic eggs for a zero-calorie gift that your child can play with long after Easter has passed.

Easter Bunny Ears

You can make your own rabbit ears at home, or purchase inexpensive ready-made models. Encourage your child to find out how rabbits live and what they eat, and they can pretend to be a young carrot-crunching Easter Bunny!

Plastic Eggs

We’ve already mentioned plastic eggs for holding Play-Doh or clay. You can also place coins, a scavenger list, nuts and dried fruit in plastic eggs for fun and healthy Easter treats.

Make Healthy “Non-Eggs”

Speaking of nuts and dried fruit, you can combine these with whole grains and granola and bake into egg shapes. You can also shape healthy cereal bars into egg shapes and place inside plastic eggs.
