Valentine's Day is right around the corner. It's a fun day to show family and friends how much you love them! You don't have to fill the day with unhealthy candy and desserts; you can have a great Valentine's Day with healthy alternatives.
Healthy Valentine's Day snack ideas:
- Yogurt parfaits. Make layers of granola, non-fat yogurt, and some yummy red berries.
- Chocolate covered strawberries. Dip strawberries and/or raspberries in some melted dark chocolate.
- Heart shaped whole wheat sandwiches. Use a heart shaped cookie cutter to shape whole wheat read. Fill the heart shapes with peanut butter, red veggies & hummus or turkey and low-fat cheese.
- Trail mix: Mix together pretzels, cheerios, almonds and some pink and red M&M's for a filling afternoon snack.
Giving fruit to your Valentine's can be extra special by adding a little card. Below are some examples:
- Banana -- "I'm bananas about you!"
- Pear -- "You are pear'fect to me!"
- Apple -- "You are the apple of my eye!"
- Grapes -- "I like you bunches!"
- Orange - " 'Orange you great!"
Have a great Valentine's Day filled with healthy treats that you can eat in moderation.
