Whether you're a romantic or not, once you have kids chances are they'll expect you to celebrate Valentine's Day.

For example they might make a card at school or nursery for their mum and dad.

And Valentine's Day is a fun occasion to make some colourful, healthy (and usually pink) treats for or with your children.

Naturally healthy Valentine's foods

The easiest way to add a little healthy Valentine's fun to your food is with fruit and veg.

There are plenty of naturally pink and red foods out there for example:

  • beetroot
  • strawberries
  • red apples
  • peppers
  • raspberries
  • red peppers
  • radicchio

It's easy to give your food a Valentine's Day twist by using these as ingredients to make your food turn pink, adding them to salads or cutting them into heart shapes.

Low sugar Valentine's treats

Traditional Valentine's treats tend to be sweets and chocolates.

The recipes featured here are lower in sugar and contain some nutritious ingredients - such as seeds, fruit and vegetables - as well.

These ideas are colourful, fun and delicious, with just a little touch of romance and a large dose of healthiness.
