Last Updated on January 7, 2021

Here are some suggestions to help you decide which treat your loved ones deserve, and spoiler alert: they will love them all.

• Heart-shaped fruit (it can be used with any fruit you like and cut it using a heart-shaped cookie cutter)

• Heart-shaped brownie bites.

• Chocolate-dipped marshmallows on a stick.

• Healthy Banana splits.

• Heart-shaped frozen yogurt bites.

• Red velvet pancakes.

Don’t worry if you think these treats are making you look “so cheesy”, Valentine’s Day is all about being romantic after all, and we assure you they will appreciate that you considered their health above all.

Be active

It is the Valentine where you should ditch the theatres and any inside activity that will require you sitting, and try to be more active by planning a date where both of you can get active in a fun way.

If you live in a warmer climate, you can go for picnics, hikes, the zoo, or anywhere that will keep you moving. In case you work all day, then you can still go to amusement parks or museums to enjoy a little art and adrenaline rush for a change.

If you live in a colder climate, you can plan for an indoor date like ice skating, rock climbing, dancing lessons, or even cooking lessons because cooking burns calories too.

Valentine can be a great opportunity to be active and also to go outside your comfort zones and try something different for a change. Plus, it will be an addition to the calories you will still love to lose at night (woohoo!).

Limit the alcohol consumption

Valentine’s Day is enough excuse to get drunk in the middle of the week because we are celebrating, right? But, too much of anything good, can’t be that good. So, attempt to minimize your alcohol consumption.

For instance, instead of having 3 beers, maybe you can have only 1 and a half while sharing the other half with your partner (speaking of romantic!).Also, during dinner, you are allowed to enjoy one or even two glasses of wine.
