Easter; a time of chocolate and contemplation. 

When you hear the word “Easter”, the chances are that your mind quite quickly pairs it with “egg” thanks to the shops stocking their shelves with the golden goodness almost as soon as Christmas is over. What you might not know is that the egg is an ancient symbol of new life, based on the Christian belief of resurrection occurring at this time. Outside of religion, it is often why we associate this time of year with cleaning, rejuvenation and fresh starts.

It’s a beautiful opportunity to take time to appreciate the signs of Spring around us and set intentions for the new season ahead. 

What better way to celebrate this new beginning than taking care of ourselves. Whilst it might not be a time of year that you associate with eating healthy (hello chocolate overload), there is a way that you can indulge in a way that will be loading your body with antioxidants, essential minerals and heart-opening goodness. 

Cue our Bare Cacao Easter Nests.
