Have a Happy and Healthy Valentines Day
Valentines Day does not have to be just about chocolate. Think, love, health and the colors pink and red. This combination can give you many Valentines Day options without all the calories. Here are some ideas:  
  • Kabobs: place strawberries, cherries, raspberries and apples on skewers and serve with melted dark chocolate for dipping
  • Surf Sweets Fruity Hearts ( online)
  • Raspberries stuffed with one chocolate chip
  • Pudding cups: mix fat-free vanilla pudding with strawberries and raspberries
  •  Fruit bars: freeze blended strawberries and bananas on popsicle stick
  • Smoothie: blend raspberries, strawberries and low-fat yogurt    

And for those of us that simply cannot resist, try a dark chocolate with 80 -90 percent cacao or a box of healthy organic dark chocolates from Sweetriot- order their Dark Chocolate Valentine's Gift Set.
