Can you believe April is around the corner?! You’re probably thinking about Easter plans and what you’re going to cook. At least, I know I am!

Finding fun, creative, clean, and delicious ways to feed your family during the Holidays can be one of the most stressful parts of the season. I want to help lessen that stress by giving you some of my favorite recipes for Easter. These are all clean eating approved, so you can save the recipes that interest you and feel confident in your choices! 

Whatever your plans are, whether it’s an egg hunt with the kids, dinner with your family, or a small party with your close friends, I hope you can find a recipe in this list that you love.

Here are twenty-five of my favorite recipes perfect for Easter Sunday, ranging from creative ways to make easter eggs to delicious chocolate treats to perfect meals for entertaining: 

Chocolate and Yogurt Easter Eggs

I guarantee your children won’t be the only people who LOVE these Easter eggs! These are a crowd favorite but can be more than a delicious snack, but a fun activity to do with the kids. You won’t regret taking the time to create holiday memories in the kitchen with the people you love. 

Fruit and Cheese Platter

If you’re hosting a few people at your house, this platter is a must! It’s simple, easy, and customizable. (Not to mention delicious and healthy.) Add your favorites to really impress your guests and see how quickly the platter is emptied!  

Layered Quinoa Salad

Perfect for entertaining larger crowds, this salad is delicious, gorgeous, and full of nutrients. It tastes better after spending a few hours in the fridge, so it’s super convenient. You can make it ahead of time and have it ready and waiting when your guests arrive for the Easter festivities! 

Five Bean Salad

Many people might not describe a salad as addictive, but this one is! Not only does it taste amazing, but it’s healthy, budget-friendly, and convenient when you have a pantry full of canned ingredients or if you need to make it the day before your party.

Green Bean and Bacon Bundles

These bundles are perfect finger-foods and appetizers or can be served as a side to your main meal. If green beans aren’t your favorite vegetable, feel free to get creative and customize the recipe by switching them out with asparagus. Either way, I’m sure you’ll love this recipe. 

Lemony Shredded Brussels Sprouts

Did you know that Brussel Sprouts have properties that can promote weight loss, aid in digestion, and potentially prevent heart disease and cancer? So you can make this recipe and feel confident in the nutrients you’re feeding your body and your guests! 

Chocolate Peanut Butter Easter Eggs

Another delicious spin on the classic easter eggs! If you’re a peanut butter and chocolate fan like me, you won’t regret trying this recipe. It’s simple with only a few ingredients, and the eggs will be ready before you know it!

Broccoli Caesar Salad

This recipe is fancy enough to be a PERFECT addition to your Easter Sunday meal while still being simple to make! So, you don’t have to spend a ton of time slaving over the recipe to feel confident with your creation. Plus, the dressing is so tangy and fresh tasting, I could pour it on top of just about everything (so, you may want to make extra!) 

Asparagus and Sun-dried Tomato Stuffed Chicken Skillet

If you’re an asparagus lover like me, you’ll love this recipe! The flavors complement each other well, making a delicious final product that’s filled with nutrients. Asparagus contains anti-inflammatory and antioxidant nutrients, which help reduce chronic health problems. 

Fennel and Celery Salad

This is one of the more straightforward recipes on the list but is still so satisfying with complex flavors. You can make a few hours ahead, cover, and refrigerate until ready to use, which is precisely what we want when hosting a gathering.

Egg Hunt Lunch Boxes

Easter Egg hunts and other Holiday activities can work up an appetite. Making a batch of these healthy lunch boxes will save you so much time and is a creative way to get your kids excited about eating nutritious foods!  

Oven-Baked Salmon with Lemon Cream Sauce

If you’re looking for something easy but also fancy and delicious, this is the one for you! You’ll be sure to impress your guests with this salmon. The recipe makes four servings, so feel free to double or triple the recipe to be sure you have enough for everyone.

Ranch Potato Salad

Yes, I’m serious! Potato salad! A fan favorite that you may miss while on a clean eating journey. But don’t worry, you can still enjoy this delicious meal with no guilt! This recipe skips out on the mayo while keeping that creamy SUPER fresh flavor. We even get a boost of protein from the Greek yogurt and eggs!

Easy Roasted Carrots

A bit savory, a bit sweet, these roasted carrots are easy to make and the perfect side dish for your big lunch or dinner this Easter Sunday! It will be sure to brighten up your plate and satisfy your body’s cravings for vegetables while still tasting amazing. 

Chocolate Zucchini Cake

Are you looking for a dessert option that’s not loaded with sugar and processed junk? This cake is your answer! I worked hard to perfect this Chocolate Cake recipe until I thought it was perfect, so I hope you love it as much as I do.

Hummus Cucumber Roll-Ups

Finger foods are one of my favorite ways to feed a group of people during parties, events, and holidays. These roll-ups are such a cute and quick idea to add to your Springtime Easter entertaining! 

Garlic + Herb Turkey Cutlets

These Garlic Herb Turkey Cutlets are perfect for the Springtime and BURSTING with flavor, thanks to the herbs and spices. They are that unique blend of simple yet elegant so you can take it easy while still impressing your family at home with a holiday meal. This is the perfect recipe for the main course!

Turkey, Veggie, and Hummus Wraps

Another easy and inexpensive finger food for you! These can be an appetizer, a snack, a side dish, or a quick lunch for your kids before you send them out on the Easter egg hunt. Prep them ahead of time, so they’re ready on Sunday afternoon!

Chicken Avocado and Egg Salad

The chicken, avocado, and egg salad is filled with nutrients and delicious flavors. I love all the ingredients included so naturally, this is one of my favorites. You may need to double the recipe because this salad disappears quickly!

Overnight Oat Pie

If your Easter festivities start in the morning, this recipe is perfect for a breakfast meal! It has the convenience and nutrition of a standard overnight oat recipe but is made family-style. So, it’s great for a larger group! 

Creamy Homemade Mayonnaise

Egg Salad, anyone? Making this mayonnaise is way easier than you may think and honestly takes so much better than store-bought mayo. Plus, it’s much healthier and clean eating approved! Check out all the tips before the recipe so you can make the perfect mayonnaise for you and your family. 

Cauliflower Potato Salad

This salad is a delicious creation that hits all the right taste buds while it just-so-happens to be low carb, lower-calorie, and PACKED with nutrients. It’s easy to make and perfect for entertaining during Spring and Summer months!

Honey Butter Herb Roasted Carrots

Carrots are a good source of several vitamins and minerals, especially biotin, potassium, and vitamins A and B6. So this recipe is not only beautiful and delicious but also filled with nutrients, making it a great side dish to your primary course! It’s one of my favorites for Thanksgiving but will still be excellent for Easter. 

Cheesecake Chocolate Eggs

Did you think I was done with fun easter egg ideas? Because I’m not! This one is a fan favorite, guilt-free treat that I’m sure you’ll love as well. Plus, you can turn it into a project your family, friends, or kids can join you for, making cherished memories in the kitchen!

Last but not least, the essential for entertaining – a party platter of delicious foods! Feel free to get creative while making your platter, adding your and your guests’ favorites. When you’re done, you’ll have a beautiful variety of snacks that will be sure to satisfy everyone!
