For me Valentine’s Day has always meant candy. After all there is beautifully packaged candy everywhere you look at this time of the year. I usually do pretty well resisting the temptation by repeating "just say no" over and over as I keep walking right out of the store.
This year I have gone one step further than just avoiding all the sugar. I began to wonder if it's even possible to celebrate Valentine’s Day without candy or sweet treats and still have fun. A little research has brought me to the conclusion that YES, it can be done!
Take a look at the tempting, and healthy, Valentine’s Day foods I came across ...
Shot through the fruit hearts
Egg In the Nest
Valentine Breakfast
Valentine Breakfast
Heart Shaped Waffles
Love Fruit Stickers
Valentine Pink Fruit Smoothie
Heart Shaped Homemade
Whole Wheat Pretzels

Heart Shaped Carrots
