Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be a day filled with high calorie chocolates, candies and other temptations to break the diet. There are many healthy and sweet alternatives which can beat the sugar craving and these gifts also make great gifts for your sweetheart!
Here are some gifts that are sure to melt her heart – not her diet:
Candy Cinnamon Hearts
Cinnamon candy hearts give your sweetheart a burst of flavor and have as little as five calories each. Even a handful of cinnamon hearts can’t do any harm – so why not send her a large bag of something that can give her a little bit of spice in her Valentine’s treat.
Dark Chocolate
Dark chocolate has been shown to have many benefits to the health when it is consumed in moderation. The darker the chocolate the better when it comes to making the choice of the sweet treat. Dark chocolate is available at a variety of chocolateirs and even from the local grocery with quality up to seventy percent cocoa – which contributes to the strong taste.
Chocolate Covered Fruit
Fruit that is covered in dark chocolate is a delectable treat that is packed full of the vitamins and nutrients which are found in the fruit that is covered in chocolate and also full of antioxidants which are found in dark chocolate that the fruit covered in.
As a romantic alternative to chocolate covered fruit consider making a fondue for two using dark chocolate and fruits that can be dipped into the fruit. The fondue for two is the perfect way to begin, or end a romantic evening without breaking the calorie bank.
Sugar Free Heart Candy
Sugar free candy can be just as sweet as traditional candies. There are many companies that make sugar free or all natural candies – and they can even be purchased with those little sayings on the candies and in various colors. Choose bright colors with sayings like “I love you” and “Be mine” to keep with the loving season.
Sorbet Buffet
Sorbets are the best alternative to ice cream as they are jam packed with flavor without being jam packed with the calories. For a sweet treat to end the dessert on a high note choose this ice treat which is made with fruit and ice and less sugar than traditional ice cream that is made with high calorie ingredients like milk and sugar.
To top off the sorbet buffet consider using fresh fruit to compliment the flavors of the sweet treat! This is a great way to cleanse the palette and end a meal on a high note!
