The Healthy Mummy Tip: Generally, the smaller the egg and the less filling it contains, the lower the calories. To keep your calories in check, try the following:
• Choose a hollow (unfilled) egg over a solid chocolate or filled egg
• Indulge in 3-4 small, good quality mini eggs over a larger, sweeter ‘big’ egg
• Check out the dark chocolate options, especially those that contain over 70% cocoa
• Choose plain hot cross buns or make your own from The Healthy Mummy recipe here – http://www.healthymummy.com/healthy-eating-hot-cross-buns/
