11 Healthy Vegetarian Recipes for Easter

Looking for springtime holiday recipe inspiration? I got you covered with my round up of healthy vegetarian recipes for Easter – from soups and salads, to pasta and cheesecake. 

I love cooking and baking with love to celebrate whatever season we’re in. With spring blooming and the Easter holiday coming up, today I’m sharing some healthy vegetarian recipes for Easter. I hope it serves as some inspiration for your Easter table – whether you’re making a small Sunday brunch, or getting ready for a big family Easter dinner.

11 Healthy Vegetarian Recipes for Easter


Veggie-Packed Couscous Spring Soup

Oh how I love a good springtime soup! This hearty veggie soup features Israeli couscous and peak season produce, including asparagus, Swiss chard, parsley and lemon.

Blueberry Biscuits

These healthy blueberry biscuits are a vegan recipe that comes together with just a handful of ingredients and couple minutes of prep time. Perfect for an Easter breakfast, brunch or lunch!

Spring Veggie & Fontina Quiche

Quiche tends to be a crowd pleaser, and this spring veggie and fontina quiche features in-season ingredients like asparagus, zucchini and yellow squash.

Bonus: Quiche is great to make ahead of time. Just last weekend, I made a few quiches two days before I had my parents over for brunch. Simply prep and bake it ahead of time, cover in foil, and store in the fridge until you’re ready to reheat it in the oven and enjoy.

Baked Churro Donuts

Donuts for a special holiday breakfast? Count me in!

I made this vegan churro donuts recipe healthier by baking them, using oats & almond flours as my base and limiting the sugar to a more reasonable quantity (but I promise that they’re still deliciously sweet!).

Mediterranean Farro Salad

This vegetarian farro salad recipe features lots of veggies, toasted pine nuts, crumbled feta and a light lemon olive oil dressing – and it’s packed with the hearty ancient grain known as farro of course!

Cherry Berry Cobbler

Made with blueberries, cherries, whole wheat flour, honey, and coconut oil, this healthy cobbler recipe is perfect for either brunch or dessert.

Creamy Spring Veggie & Asparagus Puree Soup

Yet another spring soup makes the list because I adore it! This creamy spring veggie soup is probably the most creative soup recipe I’ve come up with. It features a creamy base of pureed asparagus, coconut milk and lemon juice. This spring soup also packs in the veggies with the inclusion of radishes, spinach, white beans and zucchini. Elbow pasta gives the soup some heartiness. It’s great as an appetizer or can be a main event paired with fresh bread!

5-Ingredient Italian Croutons

Make a simple side salad special by tossing in some easy homemade croutons. Whenever I make these 5-ingredient croutons, I can’t stop eating them!

Lemon Goat Cheese Pasta with Asparagus

For a healthy Easter pasta dish, try my lemon goat cheese pasta with asparagus– a 30-minute meal bursting with fresh flavors.

Mini Vegan Strawberry Cheesecakes

This mini vegan cheesecake recipe is a fun idea for an unconventional Easter dessert. The recipe uses an easy graham cracker crust + a cashew & plant-based cream cheese center, and they’re topped with a fresh strawberry sauce – making them the perfect sweet tooth bite!

Healthy Cinnamon Oat Bread

My cinnamon oat bread recipe is a more nutritious play on the typical white flour, butter, and refined sugar-filled cinnamon swirl breads we all know and love. It’s a fun recipe idea for an Easter brunch or lunch.

Wishing you a Happy Easter and a lovely start to spring!

    I love a good quiche, and I haven’t made one in ages – thanks for the reminder here! And that cinnamon oat bread is absolutely calling my name right now, too. I bet it would be great with a morning cup of coffee!

    There are so many delicious options, but I have to say my mouth is watering just looking at the cherry berry crisp!

Got to bake up some delicious macarons in the beautiful city of Paris! 💕 

Macarons are high on my daughter’s list of favorite desserts, and it was lovely learning how to make them from a Parisian pastry chef! The macaron ingredient list is short, but making them is an art ✨

Packed with fruit… but my kid calls it ice cream🍦We love breaking out our @yonanas gadget all summer long! 

My favorite way to make fruit soft serve 👇🏼

INGREDIENTS
1 sliced ripe banana, frozen
2/3 cup strawberries, frozen
favorite toppings: sprinkles, nuts, nut butter, etc

INSTRUCTIONS
Remove your fruit from the freezer. Allow it to thaw for about 10 minutes, until it starts to slightly soften.
Place the frozen fruit into the Yonanas maker, a handful at a time. I like to run about 1/2 the banana, then the strawberries, and then the rest of the banana through the machine straight into a bowl. I then use a spoon to swirl the fruit together, and immediately place the soft serve into cones if using.
Add in your favorite toppings and enjoy before it melts!
Serves 1 - scale up as desired!

School’s out for my little girl ☀️& here are 4️⃣ screen-free tools that I’m using to keep my 6 year old busy and learning when we’re home this summer: 

1️⃣ @mondaymandala’s awesome array of free digital printables on just about anything you can think of 🖍️

2️⃣ @youngwildandfriedman’s amazing sensory kits that are high-quality and last forever. I have purchased a serious amount of these play dough and sensory sand kits over the years & they are worth every penny! My kiddo will spend hours setting up all of the little trinkets and building little play dough towns.

3️⃣ @Canva’s printable educational worksheets ✏️ For instance, I printed out money worksheets & am planning on doing a money lesson that includes us emptying out her piggy bank to delve deeper into currency & paying for something she wants at the store with her own 💵

4️⃣ A @brain_quest workbook — I bought one last summer as well & we love incorporating it into little lessons at home!

Spent the day at 📍Murrieta Hot Springs & thoroughly enjoyed it there! 

While we have visited numerous fun hot springs with our daughter, it was definitely nice to be out of mom mode & experience our local hot springs while our little one was in school. From hot tubs and cold plunges to saunas & clay mud, we got to kick back & enjoy it all!

This dinner at Eastern Mediterranean restaurant @ammatoli in Long Beach, CA 📍deserves a place on the grid — because sometimes, a foodie mom simply *must* book the reservation as she drools looking at the menu online, all the while having zero confidence that her mini me will be willing to eat a morsel of food there. 

Our veggie-forward dishes, the ambiance & aesthetic, the service…all exquisite at Ammatolí! Swipe to see my daughter’s obsession - their mint tea! 🌿☕️ She too left a happy camper, with a belly full of tea and warm pita bread.
