As Easter hops closer, it’s hard to resist the siren call of those colourful displays packed with Easter eggs and chocolate galore at every turn in the stores. But let’s be real, the aftermath of indulging can sometimes leave us feeling less than our best and we find ourselves battling with chocolate hangovers.
Introducing our latest obsession: collagen-tahini-filled chocolate eggs. They’re a healthier twist on traditional Easter eggs and the best part? You can whip them up ahead of time, so you’re all set for that long weekend ahead.
