There are plenty of ways to have a more eco-friendly Easter this year. Opting for reusable bags instead of wasteful one-time-use Easter baskets, swapping shredded recycled paper for plastic Easter grass, and having dinner or brunch filled with organic, local ingredients comes to mind.
But sometimes, we just don’t want to give up some of the goodies. Here are some natural, organic choices that we recommend for Easter-basket filling this upcoming holiday.
Vegan Organic Easter Bunnies
This tasty pal by Sjaak’s is an all-natural, sweet dark chocolate bunny. It’s 100% organic, Fair Trade Certified and completely vegan.
Organic Vegan Truffles in Handmade Gift Box
Also by Sjaak’s are the ultimate indulgence: creamy, organic truffles. Completely vegan, these deliver that milky taste with the inclusion of rice milk. Come in a variety of flavours, including Dark Chocolate, Milk Pecan Cinnamon, Milk Almond, Dark Chocolate & Ginger, Dark Cherry,Dark Orange Mate, Dark Pistachio, Milk Cappuccino, and Milk Hazelnut. Is your mouth watering yet?
Beautiful Sweets Easter Bunny Organic Cookies
In a box of sixty-four delicious cookies, comes organic sugar cookies at their finest, baked fresh to order. They include 6 different styles, all certified organic, natural and preservative free. They even ship and package in post-consumer recycled boxes.
Surf Sweets Natural Jelly Beans
Their complete line of all-natural, organic gummy candy and jelly beans are completely free of additives, dyes and preservatives. They say “If it doesn’t exist in nature, you won’t find it in Surf Sweets.” We just think they taste really good.
