Start with Hydration: The Healthiest Easter Drink

You’ve just gone 6–8 hours without water while sleeping, so starting your morning hydrated is crucial. Water helps regulate hunger and keeps your energy steady—especially helpful on a holiday surrounded by sweets and treats.

Easter-Inspired Spa Water

• 8 oz. of filtered water + a squeeze of lemon

• Pick 1 or 2 of the following: strawberries, blueberries, watermelon, orange, cucumber slices, or grapefruit

• Add fresh herbs (mint or basil are beautiful)

• Serve in a wine glass for that extra goddess vibe

🍋 Lemon adds vitamin C and aids digestion. Mint is soothing and refreshing. Berries provide antioxidants and flavor—so pretty, too.  Find more Spa Water Recipes here.

 

 

Easy Easter Brunch Ideas

 

• Frittata – A frittata is like a crustless quiche.  It’s literally an omelet you bake in the oven. Mix 6 eggs + 2 cups chopped veggies (broccoli, peppers, mushrooms, spinach). Season and bake at 350°F for 30 minutes in a cast iron skillet.
• Easy Egg Breakfast Muffins – These are like mini-frittatas made in a muffin tin. They cook faster and are great for meal prep.
  
• Traditional omelets are great on Easter, too.  Use a lot of vegetables to add fiber and stay fuller, longer.
• Deviled Eggs – I linked 5 Deviled Egg Recipes to try.  These work great during Easter brunch and dinner and are always a fan favorite.  They’re full of protein and will keep you feeling fuller longer.
• Pickled Eggs – These tangy treats are packed with protein.  Use this recipe on it’s own or to prep eggs for deviled eggs or egg salad.
• Sliced avocado, cherry tomatoes, tomato slices, sautéed spinach and colorful veggie sticks – This will help get more fiber and plant-based foods into your breakfast or brunch.
• Optional: Add a high-quality gluten-free toast or grain-free bread for crunch

 

 

Fresh Fruit Plate for Easter

 

You really can’t go wrong with a pretty platter of fresh fruit for Easter brunch or dinner.  Fruit is full of antioxidants and fiber, but can spike blood sugar if eaten alone. Here’s how to serve it smart.

• Fruit Platter: Arrange sliced fruit into an Easter bunny shape, flowers, or a rainbow.

• Fruit Salad: Mix berries, apples, melons, and grapes. Add lemon juice + mint for extra flavor and freshness.

• Whole Fruit Bowl: Add whole mandarins, grapes, apples, or plums to your table centerpiece.

 

 

NOTE: Because fruit is high in sugar, it’s good to pair fruit with protein and high fiber vegetables to help regulate blood sugar levels.  A frittata, omelet, or egg muffins would be perfect.

 

 

EASTER DINNER IDEAS

 

I’m assuming you’ve already got your main dish(es) covered like a traditional ham or turkey.  Here are my top healthy dinner side dish ideas that I personally use and recommend most for Easter.  They’re healthy and so pretty.

• Crudité is the perfect appetizer for Easter.  You can serve this ahead of the meal or as your salad.
• My pretty purple Red Cabbage Recipe is the perfect side dish!  I make it every year for Easter because it’s a pretty pastel color and looks so pretty on the table.  The best part?  A huge bowl has minimal calories (think 25 max) and is packed with fiber that will keep you full for hours.
• Other Plant-Based Side Dish Ideas – Organic corn, carrots, green beans, asparagus, cauliflower mash or rice, and roasted Brussels Sprouts make great side dishes for Easter dinner.
• Soup is a great way to add more vegetables to your Easter meal. This Roasted Red Pepper Soup would be great for Easter.  It’s full of flavor, light, and packed with vitamins and fiber.  Butternut squash soup is sweet, colorful, filling yet light, and low in calories and everyone seems to love it.  TIP:  Try organic, dairy-free butternut squash soup from your grocery store, for a quick and easy appetizer that you don’t have to cook.
• Avocado Eggs – This quick and easy dish makes a great appetizer or side dish.  Filling the negative space of a half of an avocado with hummus kind of looks like an ‘egg.’  Avocado eggs are incredibly delicious, filling, and fun.  I eat them all the time.
• A beautiful salad makes a great Easter dish.  You can layer on tons of colorful toppers over a bed of greens for a pretty and healthy addition to your Easter table.  I love adding red onion, fruit slices (like chopped apple or strawberry slices), and hardboiled eggs to make my salads fit into the theme for Easter.  Remember, you can also serve Crudité, in lieu of a salad, too.
• Roasted Chickpeas – These crunchy, salty, chickpeas are amazing on a salad for added crunch instead of traditional croutons.

 

 

You can absolutely stay on track and enjoy a beautiful Easter meal. Focus on hydration, fiber, and protein to keep your energy up and cravings down—without feeling deprived.
