Have an Eggs-cellent Easter!

Posted on April 1, 2026 by Louise

A festive Easter-themed image featuring pastel-coloured eggs with gold speckles and yellow daffodils arranged on a soft pink background. On the right side, bold text reads “Wishing you a Happy Easter.” Below it is the Public Health Dietitians Group Northern Ireland logo. A large yellow graphic of a hand holds a smartphone displaying a message that asks, “Do you want to find out more about eating well?” with a YouTube logo and a QR code underneath.

Healthy habits can disappear when Easter eggs and chocolate bunnies appear. It’s all about moderation and you can still enjoy a chocolatey treat for the special occasion!

It’s a good idea to try to keep some healthy habits in place over the Easter period, for example:

Start the day with your usual healthy breakfast like poached or scrambled eggs on toast, a wholegrain breakfast cereal or porridge with fruit: Find out more about eggs and cholesterol here https://youtu.be/09l2lEiUOIU?si=QZikFL64hfFI7zAh
Get outdoors and be active when you can – gardening, a walk or maybe even an Easter egg hunt!
Try to have some healthier snacks (in amongst the chocolate!) – for healthy snack ideas watch this short video from our Dietitians: https://youtu.be/bo7tJfIQ9J0?si=vJV25bSGHH–WvAL
Keep chocolate out of eyesight and easy reach. Keep it in a cupboard…out of sight out of mind!
If you eat more chocolate than you planned, don’t be too hard on yourself. Just take small steps to get back on track. Watch our new video series on healthier habits here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVutsY_gd5AaPkG5Qr8AwTAs0qH_TcQt1&si=F6R0A3aro4d_2pa9
