5 Guilt-Free Treats for You and Your Valentine
Unfortunately, I don’t have the gift of making original, creative desserts and treats, but the good news is that I know some awesome bloggers that do! I am sharing 5 wonderful recipes from a few of my favorite bloggers that I am sure you (and your valentine) will love!
Chocolate Strawberry Granola from The Fit Foodie Mama
AnnMarie created this delicious snack made with simple ingredients that is even healthy enough for breakfast! It’s low in sugar, oil-free and gluten-free, but not lacking in flavor!
Easy 3-Ingredient Chocolate Truffles from Fitful Focus
Truffles anyone? Nicole created this tasty treat that are satisfying yet low in calories. Better yet, these truffles are dairy-free, gluten-free, and soy-free!
Chocolate Strawberry Coconut Energy Bites from Chicago Jogger
Celia created these delicious bites that are so easy to make with whole, fresh ingredients! The sprinkles on top are a nice touch!
Honey Salted Popcorn from The Fit Foodie Mama
How can you resist this delicious popcorn?! AnnMarie created another tasty snack that is the perfect blend of salty and sweet.
Buckeye Protein Bites from Happily Hughes
What goes together better than peanut butter and chocolate? Jessica made these tasty snacks with natural ingredients but without all the extra sugar!
What are your plans for the Valentine’s weekend? Have you ever made healthier sweets for the holiday?
These are so great! Hopefully these will keep me from demolishing ALL the chocolate with girlfriends… 😉
Yum! These all look great! Thanks for sharing!
We make chocolate covered strawberries at home. They’re super easy but really feel like an extravagant treat. And they won’t kill the calorie bank!
Those buckeye bites look awesome
So much yum! Thanks for including my truffles! 🙂
Honey salted popcorn here I come! Good ideas have a great Valentine’s Day
All great healthy treats for not only Valentine’s Day but any day! I’m saving these, thanks Janelle for having them all in one place! Oh yea, sharing as well! 🙂
Mmm now I am craving a treat. My mom actually just made Nicole’s truffles and they were delicious! Thanks so much for including my recipes too!
Each one of these treats looks more delicious than the last! I am going to have a hard time deciding which I want to make this weekend. I am going to bet the peanut butter and chocolate will win in my household!
Peanut butter and chocolate are my faves! All of these look yummy!
I definitely need to hurry up and make all of these!
OMG these all look SO good!
I wish I could come up with amazing recipes like these!
Great ideas. I need to try these. We splurged tonight and shared a box of chocolates. I didn’t eat as many bc I would bite into most and didn’t like them so I gave him the rest. I need some guilt free options
Definitely let me know if you try any of these and how you like them! Sometimes I don’t like the boxes of chocolate because I don’t like the flavors either.
Anything that has popcorn in it or looks like a buckeye is a winner for me! My favorite trick is substituting oil for applesauce, yup, I m creative! LOL!
I have heard applesauce is a good, healthy substitute but haven’t tried it in any recipes yet.
I have never tried making protein bites but really need to ! Seems like everyone raves about them.
They are so easy to make and really are much more filling than they look! I just need to make a huge batch and keep them topped up! Let me know if you try these!
I seriously want ALL of these! They look so good, thanks for sharing!
I’m glad you liked the roundup 🙂
I love all of these!! I am going to have to try every single one. The first might have to be the buckeyes. I just showed my husband and I think he drooled a little.
Glad you enjoyed these recipes! I don’t blame him for drooling at all 🙂
yum! we aren’t into valentine’s day so it’s just any other day around here 🙂
Nice…we just hung out at home yesterday, watched a few movies. So much more low-key than usual, but not a bad thing!
Yum yum yum! These all look amazing!
Popcorn is one of my favorite snacks! I love dipping it in peanut butter because I’m weird that way. Thanks for sharing these!
