Registered Dietitian Approved Easter Recipes

Easter has always been right up there for favorite holidays. I am not sure if was that as a Catholic fasting and finally be able to have my chocolate or diet coke on Easter, the Easter Egg hunt or the smell of incense at Good Friday services. (seriously loved that smell as a kid and now it bothers me.) Here are some of my favorite Registered Dietitian approved Easter recipes. Enjoy!

Nicole’s daughter Nahla wearing the custom bonnet her mom and grandma made her during her egg hunt last year.

Nicole’s two loves are food and fitness. She says “Show me a person who does not like to eat and I probably won’t trust them.” Nicole had to celebrate one Easter dairy free.  She shares dairy free recipes that turned her favorite holiday into something memorable. @NRodriguezRDN

Touring the Jelly Belly Factory! We have so many jelly beans for Easter now! (Best jelly beans!) And the guinea pigs (named Carmel and S’Mores) eat lots of greens too.

Check out Jen “aka” the Down to Earth Dietitian’s Strawberry Spinach Salad, which is the perfect blend of sweet and savory at the same time. And the chia seeds are sure to surprise your guests.
