Whether you’re celebrating with a significant other, best friend, or YOURSELF, you’ve got to indulge in something sweet! Each recipe is gluten-free, refined sugar-free, and dairy-free with plenty of vegan and paleo options.
Happy Valentines Day friends! Regardless of whether or not you celebrate, I think it’s the best excuse to whip up a healthy Valentine’s Day dessert…and if you’re like me this involves something with chocolate, peanut butter and more chocolate. A healthy-ish dessert to share with friends, family, soul mate or most importantly…YOU! :)
This year we collected over 50 of the BEST Healthy Valentine’s Day Dessert recipes! There’s a mix of rich chocolate, berries, no-bake bars, cakes, truffles and more! I even included a couple of recipes that don’t involve chocolate like matcha raspberry bars and banana cream cake…just in case :)
