This year we’re celebrating a very Healthy Valentine’s Day!

We’re not getting chocolates or candies. As much as I love chocolate and candies, it doesn’t fit in our healthy eating choices.

I still wanted Valentine’s Day to be fun!

This is a super easy way to make some fun, healthy treats for your kids…oh, and you too!

You’ll need:

• a heart-shaped cookie cutter
• a knife
• pink or red fruits (eg. Watermelon and strawberries)

Directions:

Watermelon:

I sliced the watermelon as thick as the cookie cutter is tall, but you could make them thinner as well.

Then I lined up the point of the watermelon to be the point of the heart and cut out the heart shape.

Strawberries:

I sliced the strawberries in half and cut off the green parts.

Then with the flat inside part facing up, I cut the “v” shape out of the top.

Pack for lunch:

Once everything is cut up, it’s ready to be packed up for lunch!

 Other great red and pink fruits to do fun things with:

• cherries
• raspberries
• grapefruit
• apples

Happy and Healthy Valentine’s everyone!!
