After years of delivering produce, my first thought of Valentines day is no longer sugary candies and teddy bears, but instead, all of the seasonal fruits and veggies that I get to highlight on this holiday!
Beets are my favorite Valentine’s day food to serve for their heart-shape, deep red color and sweet flavor… followed closely by blood oranges and strawberries. If you’re committed to a healthy lifestyle and want an alternative to serving candies in the classroom, have you ever thought about giving fruits grams or raisins?
Here are some healthy Valentine’s Day Inspired Recipes and Creations.
