easter treats

One sleep left before Easter! Why not trying to be a little bit healthier this year? Celebrate Easter with my three easy Easter treats recipes.

Healthy Easter eggs:

• chocolate chips
• 1/2 of ground oats
• 1/2 of organic flour
• 1 tbsp of cinnamon 
• 1/2 of brown sugar
• 3 tbs of melted coconut oil
• 1 tsp of vanilla essence

All you have to do is to mix all the ingredients in a boll until it forms a cookie dough. Then with the help of a teaspoon form little eggs. You can now put your eggs in the refrigerator for about an hour, until it is set. 

I put my healthy eggs in a container together with normal chocolate eggs as you can see in the picture below. It is healthy and delicious!

Green smoothies:

      
• cucumber
• spinach
• apple
• 1 cup of coconut water
• 1 cup of greek yogurt
• 1 date
• 1/2 the juice of a lemon

This is probably the easiest and fastest one to realise. You simply need to put all your ingredients in a blender and let it do the job for you. Dates are excellent natural sweetener, if you don't want to add sugar in your smoothies you now know what to do!

My tips: 

• Freeze your fruits and vegetable in a resealable bag to avoid adding ice that will make your smoothie too watery. It will also help you to make your smoothies even faster next time.
• Always put liquids and yogurt closer to your blades. (add the liquid at the end if your blades are on the top of the machine or first if they are on the bottom of the blender)

Last but certainly not least; lemon biscuits:

• 1/2 cup of organic flour
• 1/2 cup of peanut or almond (ground)
• 1/2 cup of ground oats
• 2 tbsp of coconut oil (melted)
• 1/2 the juice of a lemon
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence
• 1 tbsp of honey
• 1 tbsp of brown sugar

Start by preheating your oven to 180 degrees. Mix all the dry ingredients into a boll. Then simply add the melted coconut oil and while stirring add the lemon juice, the vanilla and the honey. When every thing is well combine, place the mixture on a sheet of baking paper. Make a flat dough, cut the shapes you want out of the dough and place it into your baking tray. I simply used a knife and draw carrots, rabbits (well at least I tried to) and heart shapes. Then place your baking tray into the oven and let it cook for 15 mins. Don't forget however that every oven is different and therefore the cooking time varies according to the oven you use.)

Bon appétit and happy easter to all of you!
