Easter Fruit Baskets are a Great Alternative to Chocolate

Start a new tradition this year and give fruit baskets instead of basket of chocolate for Easter. Even though it’s traditional to give baskets of chocolate and sweet treats for Easter more and more people are looking for healthier alternatives to help children eat better and to help fight childhood obesity. Fruit baskets that are full of fresh oranges, tangerines and other fruits are just as sweet as baskets of chocolate but the natural sucrose in citrus fruit is easy for the body to break down and use for fuel. Refined sugar is nearly impossible for the body to break down and often ends up getting stored in the body as fat. Make a healthy choice this year and order fruit baskets for your kids and for your loved ones who have children.

Beautiful fruit baskets full of seasonal fruit don’t need a lot of embellishment in order to be appealing but if you’re worried that kids might not be too happy about receiving a basket of fruit instead of a basket of candy you can use easy tricks to make the fruit more appealing. You can use stickers on the outside of the fruit to dress it up a little, or buy some stamps and some food coloring and use the stamps dipped in food coloring to make designs and patterns on the rinds of the oranges and grapefruit. You can even order a large box of assorted oranges and grapefruit and hide fruit instead of eggs. Have a painting party and let the kids design their own patterns and decorate the fruit then hide all the fruit along with eggs for the kids to find. The kids will love doing something different and coloring fruit as well as eggs.
