Almonds and Health
Easter weekend means chocolate and bunnies! Around my house, we also used to find Ribena left by Easter bunny… not sure why, but I’m having blackcurrant tea in honor of that tradition!
I’ll also be having some dark chocolate, which is a lovely treat, or if you want to go fully homemade try my chocolate bark with just 3 ingredients!
I had a quick snack of some almonds, which would make a lovely Easter treat and are also super healthy! Check out their stats:
