A healthy menu for Easter

How to prepare a healthy menu for Easter?

Festive salads, lunches and baked goods not only taste amazing, but also contain a large portion of empty calories. Many traditional recipes use products rich in simple sugars and hydrogenated fats, which are certainly not part of a healthy diet. Heavily digested meals and little exercise during an Easter family gathering can take a toll on your metabolism. It is not difficult to develop stomach problems, a feeling of overeating and lack of energy during Easter. All of this is due to high-calorie products.

Simple tricks for a healthy menu at Easter

• Forget about using fatty cream to make sauces for salty dishes. Instead, use high-protein yoghurts (e.g. Greek or Icelandic), whose thick consistency will work well as a base for the recipe.
• You can prepare creams and toppings for cakes and other forms of desserts using the above-mentioned yoghurts, quark, grani cheese or plant-based dairy alternatives
• You can replace store-bought nut creams with nut pastes that have no added salt, sugar or hydrogenated fat
• You can replace regular mayonnaise with a "light" version or opt for the increasingly popular vegan mayonnaise
• Make your own salad dressings - use good quality virgin fats (e.g. olive oil, pumpkin seed oil, linseed oil)
• Use plenty of raw vegetables - rich in fibre, they provide satiety, have a low GI value and limit excessive sugar spikes
• Instead of coloured and fizzy drinks, make your own lemonade from mineral water, mint, lemon, rosemary and cucumber

Fit substitutes and functional foods for a healthy Easter menu

The Olimp Sport Nutrition brand has created a wide range of dietary functional foods. The products represent a pharmaceutical standard, which is ensured by innovative research and development facilities, innovative production methods and microbiologically tested raw materials.

Olimp Zero Sauce is the perfect solution for your holiday dessert. Each of the three available flavours (double chocolate, salted caramel, strawberry) is perfect as an addition to pies, muffins, cakes or pancakes. People who use protein supplements in their diet can utilise the sauces to enrich the taste of prepared shakes. The handy packaging ensures that the product is easy to use.

Fans of nut flavour can choose an interesting alternative in the form of creams and pastes. Cashew Butter, Peanut Butter and Almond Butter are products made from carefully selected nuts, which are roasted. The nut paste is completely free from added sugar, salt and palm oil, which makes it perfect for reducing unnecessary calories in the recipes you prepare. The creamy texture and subtle flavour will go perfectly with ice cream or baked goods.
