Happy Easter Easter Egg Treats!



Alice's Tasty Easter Egg Variations

Now I’m not saying these are the healthiest things I have ever made by any means and they are not typically a part of your diet but as an alternative to Easter egg giving this year I decided to make some healthier alternatives for friends and family! My good friday boot campers sure enjoyed them as a post-workout treat with approx: 140 calories: 15g protein, 4g fat, 8g carbohydrates per serve

These little delicious treats can be tailor made to individual taste and requirements, have fun and play around with the flavors! My favorite is the caramel coconut yummy!
There slightly addictive, so go easy on the portions! Recipes make 10 serves. ENJOY!!!

Easter Eggs
Base Ingredients:
150g protein powder (I used chocolate WPI)
1-tablespoon coconut oil
1.5-tablespoon nut butter (peanut or almond depend on taste)
2 egg whites
tsp. vanilla essence (optional)
80g dark choc organic chips
¼ cup puffed rice (optional can use oats, extra nuts, fruit)
½ cup almond meal or LSA
¼ cup quinoa flakes (can use oats/amaranth puffs)
¼ to 1/2 cup warm water to mix


140 calories, 4.3g fat, 15g protein, 8g carbs
(approx., varies with ingredients)

VARIATIONS
Chocolate Peanut Butter Crunchy Eggs
-       Peanut butter as above plus extra tsp.
-       Added ¼ cup slithered almonds or cashews
-       Removed quinoa and doubled rice puffs for extra crunch

Banana chocolate nutty eggs
-       Use half banana and half chocolate WPI protein powder (i used WPI banana)
-       Could add in mashed banana instead off egg whites to soften or no nut butter
-       Tsp cinnamon

Caramel Coconut Chocolate Eggs
-       2 Tablespoons sugar free caramel dip (no nut butter)
-       ¼ cup desiccated coconut 
Its not just the lower fat content, lower sugar content and higher protein content that is great about these its also the ingredients! They don’t contain nasty additives found in most chocolates on the shelf these days
