Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, which means many people will be spending money on chocolates and candy which are often loaded with excess sugar and artificial ingredients. Instead, why not make something that’s healthy and delicious for the ones you love?
Here are a few Healthy Valentine’s Day treat ideas that not only taste great, but will help you stay on track with your goals!
- Beet Pancakes: A personal favorite of mine and the bright pink hue is so festive! Create pancake “hearts” by using a heart shaped cookie cutter in your skillet.
- Frozen Chocolate Bananas: This is a simple treat that can be jazzed up however you like it! Take a few bananas, freeze them, then dip them in chocolate and top with nuts, sprinkles or anything else your heart desires.
- Flourless Chocolate Cake: While this may be a more decadent dessert, it’s free of refined sugar and grains, making it the perfect chocolate-y treat.
- Cake Pops: Skip the cake pops at Starbucks and make these instead. The secret to their great texture? Greek yogurt!
- Healthy Acai Bowl: If chocolate isn’t your thing, then whip up some fresh acai bowls with berries, granola and coconut.
