Easter can be a challenging time for parents surrounded by chocolate and sweets. Many of them contain unhealthy food dyes, additives and LOADS of sugar.
Bright, cheerful and easily made with your kids using natural superfoods, give the chocolates a miss and include even the littlest of kiddos with this healthy alternative.
I’m guessing if you have a Vitamix handy you may like a smoothie or two and have some superfoods in the pantry ready and waiting as well!
