Easter is family time: everyone sits down together and enjoys a delicious meal. There are often high-calorie dishes, such as asparagus with hollandaise sauce and fatty lamb chops. Of course, you don’t have to completely ban such feasts, because the key word “balance is key” applies to a healthy diet. There should also be a cheat day in there.
If you still prefer not to risk your hard-earned six-pack or still burn some calories while cooking, here are the right recipes for you.
They all contain a protein portion, ideal for your muscles, which only grow with enough protein. Also, proteins keep you full for longer and, unlike excess carbohydrates, are not stored as fat reserves. This makes them perfect for your “Light Easter menu”.

What meat goes well with Easter?
The classic roast lamb doesn’t always have to be served at Easter. A tasty low-fat alternative is poultry, such as chicken and turkey (but without the skin!). Try the chicken fillet with sweet potatoes and a side salad.
Lean beef, such as beef tenderloin, is also suitable for a delicious Easter menu. It is also a good muscle food because it contains high-quality animal proteins that your body can use perfectly. Recipes with eggs instead of (Easter) meat are also a good choice.
What accessories for a light Easter menu?
In general, meat, vegetables and a side of carbohydrates, such as potatoes, finish the dish in a very classic way. But carbs in particular aren’t entirely necessary, even though they’re usually referred to as “fillers.” Yes, carbohydrates have a high satiety effect. But protein and fiber also keep you full for longer, so a low-carb combination of a high-quality piece of meat and a large side of vegetables or salad is also a great, six-pack-pleasing option — not just that.

What fish do you eat during Easter?
If you like fish, this is also a good option for a healthy Easter meal. In addition to being rich in protein, fish also provides plenty of omega-3 fatty acids. Mainly according to the salmon Working group Omega-3 eV Unparalleled nutritional values with an omega-3 content of around 1.7 grams of EPA and DHA per 100 grams. In addition, salmon can be combined with many other ingredients, resulting in a delicious menu. These types of fish also contain a lot of omega 3.
What side dish for a healthy Easter meal?
When choosing ingredients you should not only focus on protein and fat content. Vegetables should be a part of your meal. Asparagus, for example, goes well with Easter. It has only 18 calories per 100 grams and is versatile in the kitchen. You can steam it, fry it or prepare it as a starter with a soup.
Green vegetables such as spinach, zucchini or beans are also great as a healthy side dish with fish or meat.
