Indulging in something a little naughty this Easter doesn’t have to mean abandoning all thoughts of nutrition.
Finding the perfect balance between indulgence and goodness is the key, whether it’s swapping refined sugars for natural sweetness, sneaking in wholegrains, or adding a boost of protein and vitamins to your favourite treats, believes Catherine Jeans, nutritional therapist and ION graduate (pictured, below).
“These are a firm favourite with children and adults in my house. These little treats are free of refined sugar and they’re packed with hidden nutritional value too,” she says.
“Tahini (sesame seed paste) adds calcium and protein while the blackstrap molasses is another great source of iron and calcium.
“I use brown rice puffs or Mesa Sunrise flakes instead of the Rice Krispies or cornflakes, as they’re packed with wholegrain value. By using wholegrains, you’re getting a whole lot more fibre and B vitamin plus they’re slower releasing and brilliant for keeping little ones more balanced and less hyper this Easter.”

Method:
Once set these can be stored in a Tupperware container for about five days. I like to keep them in the fridge, so they stay extra crunchy.
