Valentine’s Day is traditionally a great excuse to indulge in a sweet treat…or two…or…well you know how it goes. Those chocolates start looking so lonely in that pretty heart shaped box, don’t they? When my husband and I were dating, I told him right before Valentine’s Day that first year, “Valentine’s Day is stupid. Why do we need another reason to overindulge in treats, and by the way, we should tell each other we love one another EVERY day”. Yes, it was a little bit of a rant and I wasn’t even a fitness professional then,

simply a child who had overcome weight and emotional eating issues in the past. So guess what, my husband NEVER buys me chocolate for Valentine’s Day and he actually rarely gets me anything on this day of love. Way back when we were in those dating years, I started making him dinner for Valentine’s which was way more fun than a card and chocolate. Once we married, we tried our hand in creating fun but somewhat healthy, desserts for this occasion. Over the years, only a few have remained in a rotation. The recipe I’m sharing with you below is a crowd pleaser at our house which is now full of us plus 3 young children. Enjoy this Valentines’ Day Healthy Sweet Treat and remember to spread your love EVERY day. The recipe below uses Chocolate Vegan Shakeology superfood meal replacement. We love it in this recipe for all the added vitamins, minerals and probiotics. Order your 30 day supply here and incorporate it into your sweet treats AND daily nutrition.
