3️⃣ Use berries rather than syrup
4️⃣ Use low cal bread or thin style bagels!

6: Frozen Yogurt with Raspberries
I love freezing my Greek yogurt just for something different to eat!
1 cup plain, non fat Greek yogurt is 120 calories and 23 grams of protein! Yummy!
7: 100 Calorie Mug Brownies
100 calorie fudgy Brownie mug!
This little portion control treat hack has saved me so many times when I want a treat, but I also don’t want a whole pan of brownies taunting me the rest of the day.
2 tablespoons of dry brownie mix is 100 calories. Add a little water till it’s the consistency of brownie batter.
Spray a mug and microwave for 60 seconds. Check for doneness, and then give it 20-30 seconds more!
Must eat right away! Fudgy and yummy the first 20 minutes. After that, it gets hard or rubbery
8: Strawberry Greek Yogurt Parfait
Classic Strawberry parfait with Oikos triple zero Greek yogurt.
I used
♥️1.5 containers Oikos triple zero
♥️5 ounces strawberries
♥️A sprinkle of dry oats!
I love that it’s low fat, high protein and balanced carbs! So filling!
9: Healthy Valentine’s Popcorn
Treat your family…or yourself, who am I kidding. 1 cup of plain popcorn only has 30 calories!!
If I’m eating popcorn for myself, I flavor it with a spray of butter flavored cooking spray and salt.
Found the printables from Mom Dot Official
(check out my post on single serving microwave popcorn here!)
10 : Classic Pink Salad {healthier}
Protein Packed Pink Salad!!
3 ingredients in ANY amount
♥️ Cottage cheese
♥️ Strawberries
♥️ Sugar free strawberry jello packet (powder only)
Some recipes I share, I will tell you… Eat this alone if you are on a diet. It’s good for you. But I probably wouldn’t take it to a potluck.
This pink salad is different! I would 100% take this to a dinner party, and I did last night!! Sooooooo tasty!
The nutrition for this is from 1 cup (1/2 cup cottage cheese and 1/2 cup chopped strawberries)
106 calories and 15 grams of protein!
11: Chocolate Dipped Apple Valentine’s
As a nutrition professional, I feel I might be shamed for the fact that I don’t like dark chocolate. ?
It’s very popular to love dark chocolate, but I’m just not a fan. I like milk chocolate and white chocolate, but somehow no one is impressed by that. ?
Anyway, onto day 11! I printed these cute tags from @lifeissweeterbydesign
I used 1 tablespoon of chocolate chips and 1/2 of a sliced apple.
Note: I soaked the slices in lemon juice while I melted the chocolate chips. This helps prevent browning. Then, I dried the apple slices very well, and then dipped the apples in the chocolate.
To decorate, I used sprinkles, coconut, graham cracker crumbs, and almond slices. I think this would make a great after school snack for the kids on Valentine’s day!
12: Maple Almond Fudge
Maple Almond Fudge!
Healthy? Yeah.
Low calorie. Not at all. Bummer. Must practice self control!
In a saucepan melt:
♥️1 cup cashew butter
♥️3/4 cups almond flavored coconut butter ( found this at my grocery store maceys and wanted to give it a try).
♥️3 tablespoons pure maple syrup.
♥️1 teaspoon butter.
After melted in a saucepan and stirred till smooth, remove from heat and add sprinkles.
Pour into a pan with parchment paper (like a loaf pan).
Freeze for 1 hour.
Cut and enjoy!!
13: Mini Strawberry Cheesecakes
Mini healthy #strawberrycheesecake.
Makes 6!
My strawberry layer is
2 tablespoons light cream cheese
1 tablespoon honey
1/3 cup Greek yogurt, plain
4 ounces strawberries.
Blend in a food processor and pour into mini pre made graham cracker crust (these are 100 calories each).
Then freeze for 1 hour.
? The trick to these frozen yogurt treats is to not freeze too long. You don’t want them solid as a rock. Just firm!
I added an extra spoonful of yogurt to the top, but it’s totally optional.
14: Protein Packed Pizza
Day 14! Final installment of 14 days to a healthier Valentine’s Day! I found this recipe over on the Kodiak pancake mix website for
Kodiak Pizza Crust! I love using this mix for a boost of protein. Browse their site cause their recipe section is bomb! Kodiakcakes.com
Than make this yummy pizza for dinner!
And that’s it!! PIN AND SAVE FOR NEXT VALENTINE’S DAY!
These all look really scrumptious! May I be your taste tester?
Haha! Always!!
