Fear not, because we’ve got you covered with an array of sugar-free Easter basket ideas that are sure to please both kids and adults alike.

Fun & healthy treats 🍫
One of the most exciting parts about Easter is getting an Easter basket filled with goodies. However, traditional Easter treats like chocolate bunnies and marshmallow chicks can leave you feeling sluggish and guilty after indulging in them. This year, why not fill your basket with fun and healthy treats that will not only satisfy your sweet tooth but also give you a burst of energy?
Instead of sugary candies, consider adding some freeze dried fruit to your Easter basket.
Rind has delicious chewy fruit products with no added ingredients. They leave the peel on to increase vitamins, increase nutrients like fiber, and decrease food waste. They have tons of delicious flavors to choose from.
These are a fun Easter basket addition! Explore a wide variety of our refreshing Stur Liquid Water Enhancers, ideal for those seeking to discover new flavors or share the joy of staying hydrated!
Indulge in our delectable freeze-dried fruit medley, a delightful blend of Banana, Red Grapes, Apple, Peach, Pear, and Strawberry. This crunchy mix is the perfect snack option, made solely from 100% pure fruits with no added ingredients.
Another option is to think outside the box and include some savory snacks in your Easter basket. Mini packets of air-popped popcorn or veggie chips are not only delicious but also a great source of fiber. You could even add some individual packets of flavored hummus along with whole wheat crackers for a protein-packed snack that both kids and adults will love.
I love snacks that are sweet and salty but most contain sugar. Stellar Snacks uses monk fruit instead of sugar for their sweet pretzels. And they are delicious. All are made with natural ingredients like onion, garlic, and monk fruit.
Sensible Portions Stacked Garden Veggie Chips are a better option than most chips in a can (which my kids love). They add veggies in with the usual potatoes for a vitamin boost. They are also gluten-free.
