Let’s face it—Easter is basically the Olympics of chocolate consumption. One minute you’re unwrapping a single mini egg, the next you’re knee-deep in foil wrappers wondering if your blood type is now 80% cocoa.
We’re not here to tell you not to indulge (because where’s the fun in that?), but if you’re navigating the Easter weekend with one hand in a chocolate tin and the other trying to stick to some sort of routine, we’ve got a few helpful tips. And yes, your trusty Beyond Shaker might just be the MVP of the weekend.
1. Start the Day with Something Solid(ish)
Before diving headfirst into a chocolate rabbit, kick off your morning with a shake. A decent one—think protein, oats, banana, maybe a handful of spinach if you’re feeling bold. It helps keep you grounded, a bit fuller, and slightly less likely to eat 14 crème eggs before noon. Bonus: Beyond Shakers are double-insulated, so your shake stays cool even if you forget about it mid-egg hunt.
2. Easter Egg Hunts = ACTUAL Exercise
Whether you’re the designated hider or the overcommitted seeker, hopping around the garden definitely qualifies as cardio. Honestly, chasing kids while holding onto a coffee counts as a HIIT workout in our books. Keep your shaker nearby with some water or a light electrolyte mix—you’ll thank yourself when you’re climbing into your third bush of the morning.
3. Hit Reset After the Sugar Spike
Let’s be real, by lunchtime there’s a good chance you’ve eaten enough chocolate to fuel a small village. That’s your cue to switch it up. Use your shaker for a meal replacement shake, a fruit smoothie, or even a sneaky iced coffee (which your Beyond Shaker will keep cool for hours). It’s like a gentle reset button without any pressure.
4. Hydration Station
Not to sound like your mum, but drink some water. Your shaker isn’t just for protein—fill it with cucumber slices, lemon, or mint if you want to pretend you’re at a spa instead of eating a chocolate lamb on your sofa. Staying hydrated helps you balance things out, even if your snacks say otherwise.
5. No Guilt. Just Get Back to it.
So, Monday rolls around and you’re feeling... let’s say, a little ‘melted’. That’s fine. You don’t need a cleanse, a fast, or a crash plan. Just pop something nutritious in your shaker, take a walk, and carry on. Progress isn’t ruined by a chocolate bunny or three—it’s made in all the little choices that come after.
Happy Easter from all of us at Beyond Shakers 🐣💛
Eat the chocolate. Sip the shake. Repeat responsibly.
