Holidays often mean rich food and lots of it! Easter is no exception with big family brunches, dinners, and of course, those Easter baskets that are filled with sugar and calories! But you can still celebrate this special time with family without adding to your waistline. Choosing a healthier holiday is easy and will truly make you feel better about yourself and make you better able to enjoy the holiday. If you’re having a large Easter meal such as a brunch, and you’re not quite sure of everyone’s dietary needs, you may want to choose a low-cal meal anyways to make sure that everyone will be able to enjoy all of the wonderful food! Below are instructions for a complete, low-cal Easter brunch!

Herbed Yogurt Cheese

Not only does this dish have only 20 calories per tablespoon, it will provide your guests with something truly different from the ordinary Easter fare.

Easter Sausage Strata

Sausage, cheese, and bread might not sound low-cal but this main course will give your guests satisfaction knowing they are only eating 250 calories per serving. It’s healthy, it’s delicious and it’s very filling!

Three Bean Salad

Not only are beans extremely low-cal, they also have many other health benefits, including a lot of fiber. One serving of this salad is approximately thirty calories. And the bonus is, it’s very easy to make!

And the Dessert!

Serve a dessert such as carrot cake or cranberry tarts for a completely low-cal Easter brunch and carry on the low-cal theme with the kid’s Easter baskets! Instead of piling it high with sugar, fill it with sugar-free candy and fresh fruit! Not only is it healthier for your child, it’s better for their teeth too!
