So, while I intended to share something else with you, I have found so many more ideas that I just have to share. So here they are, in no particular order:
Many of you have kids in school that will be required to hand out valentine's to their class mates. And since we don't want to spread the disease of sugar any further (heaven forbid!) I found a few really awesome ideas to aid with that.
Here is what we made and will be distributing in my daughters preschool class this year. The idea was found on pinterest, but I put this one together myself. A pair of googly eyes and rock star glasses is what makes this one so fun! My daughter is very excited about these!

While I am not a dairy person, my kids (and most kids) are and they love cheese sticks!

Better yet, make your own granola bars using this recipe and take a heart shaped cookie cutter to it!

I must say, I really like this idea with the oranges. And clementines are at such a great price right now, (well, at least in southern California they are) so you can't go wrong!

Fruit leather! Who would have thought?! And prepackaged so parent's don't have to worry about where it came from and who tampered with it. Major bonus!

Another great idea, who said heart shaped boxes had to be for chocolates?

These sound super good to me. Dried apricots (try and stay away from the sulfur dioxide if you can help it) with coconut chocolate and cracked pistachios. Yum! Click on the link below for the recipe.

Maybe these will be our valentine dinner? I do love a good vegan sushi! But also think of the love someone will feel finding these in their lunch box!

So there are just a few more great ideas. Hopefully these have gotten your HEALTHY Valentine wheels turning. More to come tomorrow! I do love Valentine's day!!
Don't forget, switching to these healthy treats says that you love that person so much more that you are caring about their insides!
