Quick and Easy Easter Treats!

Hello, I wish you all a happy Easter and a great weekend! Since the spring break started I want to blog a bit more with the lighter evenings and the better weather I have been motivated. Anyways on with the post. These are just two simple snacks that relate to the theme of Easter!

Carrot Smoothie
I was inspired to do this by Niomi Smart who does really nice healthy food videos on Youtube. I changed the recipe up a bit though:) This makes two medium sized smoothies.

You will need for the orange smoothie:
  • 2 carrots
  • 1 big orange
  • 1 cup of orange juice
You blend them all together in a blender and pour into glasses then you do the green juice.

You will need for the green juice:
  • 1 banana
  • 1 handful of spinach
  •  1 squeeze of a lemon
Once you have blended those together gently pour on top of the orange smoothie so you produce a glass that resembles a carrot:) 

 
 
Easter Nests
For this recipe you will need:
  • 75g cornflakes
  • 225g plain chocolate
  • 1tbsp golden syrup
  • 20g butter
  • 1 packet of mini eggs
You melt the chocolate, golden syrup and butter in a glass bowl over a pan of boiling water. Once it is melted you can slowly stir in the cornflakes, coating ever flake with chocolate. Then spoon your mixture into 12 cupcake cases in a tray and place three mini eggs on top of each cake. Place in the fridge to cool for 1 hour.

 
In the comments I would love to find out what your favourite type of Easter egg is! I hope you all have a good day, thank you for reading!
