Cheesecake-Stuffed Strawberries

Homemade Fruit Sorbet
Blend frozen fruit like strawberries, raspberries, or mango into a smooth sorbet — no added sugar needed. Serve in small cups or heart-shaped molds for a naturally sweet Valentine’s treat that feels refreshing and special.
Chocolate Peanut Butter Energy Bites
These no-bake bites combine oats, nut butter, cocoa powder, and a touch of sweetness for a snack that tastes like dessert but offers lasting energy. They’re great for an afternoon pick-me-up or post-school treat.
Healthy Savory Snacks
Antipasto Bites
Skewers of mozzarella, olives, salami, and cherry tomatoes offer a satisfying, savory option that balances out sweeter treats. They’re ideal for adults, office gatherings, or family snack boards.
Baked Plantain Chips
Crispy baked plantain chips deliver crunch without frying. Pair them with guacamole, salsa, or a yogurt-based dip for a snack that feels festive without being heavy.
Hummus and Crudité
Fresh vegetables paired with classic or beet hummus make an easy, shareable snack that adds color to any Valentine’s spread with minimal prep.
Mini Zucchini Pizzas

Frozen Yogurt and Fruit Bites
