Question: Is there anything sweet and healthy I can do for my sweetheart on Valentine’s Day?

Answer: Start the day with making breakfast together! Try some of these ideas:

·         Whole grain heart-shaped pancakes topped with fresh sliced strawberries. Serve with a fruit smoothie made with lowfat yogurt, strawberries and a banana.

·         Oatmeal with fresh raspberries and walnuts in the shape of a heart. Serve with lowfat milk.

·         Whole grain toast with a heart-shape cut out of the middle filled with scrambled eggs and chopped red peppers. Serve with 100% juice.

Then, take a walk together, go sledding, or go ice skating. Spending time together is the best gift and creates many fun memories.
