Party time !!!!!!!!
You know.... that exciting sugar coated day of eating called Valentine 's day ! Well I have rounded up some of the healthiest, yummiest, cutest, and EASIEST (my fav) Valentine's day treats and recipes !
Pizza
We don't always think of pizza as healthy, but it can be ! Just use reduced fat pizza crust, 2% cheese, turkey pepperoni, and all the veggies you can convince them to eat ! ... Which may be zero lol

Chocolate covered strawberries
I love these, and they are the perfect sweet, yet healthy, treat ! The wooden sticks are a great idea for easy dipping and eating.

Fruit Nachos
...with apples, a chocolate drizzle, and any healthy toppings you want. Our favorites are granola, coconut, nuts, dried berries, and lite caramel syrup.

Heart shaped mango
Too cute! But... I thought these were cheese ! My kids are part mouse so they would gobble this up if so!

These are some healthier cookie options !
Rice Krispy treats or a sugar cookie with fruit topping !
These are so cute ! Tortillas cut into hearts and baked with cinnamon sugar !
I love encorporating fruit into a dessert so these are just about perfect!
The waffle cones have light yogurt and healthy toppings. One option is to freeze them over night and wrap them with pretty paper when they are solid ! The stand they used is also fantastic.
Fruit and veggie art is always a winner ...
Even if its labor intensive haha. And of course, by all means, put it on a stick when you can ! I also suggest yogurt or ranch for dipping !!!
These all look some what labor intensive and may be a challenge. But, they are adorable.
