The Ultimate Guide to Valentine's Day by Dietitians

If you haven’t heard, Valentine’s Day is on Wednesday. Totally kidding – I know you know.

In lieu of a recipe I decided to do a beast of a blog post round-up sharing some content from other dietitian bloggers who already have a plethora of mouthwatering creations on their blogs. I like a fancy date night out on the town as much as the next person but I also LOVE (see what I did there?) making something fabulous and special at home and passing on the crowds and overpriced wine in the process. Plus then I get to wear my comfy clothes. I wanted to make sure that if you feel the same way, you are fully armed with recipes, no matter what your preference.

Whether you are looking for festive red breakfasts, special occasion worthy dinner ideas, or desserts, I’ve got you covered. And as a bonus, many of these also have some sort of heart health component or nutritious twist which makes celebrating all that more fun. I love the creativity that went into these (especially the desserts!) yet none of them look like they are lacking in flavor because let’s be real, that’s the most important part.

Oh and I also threw in some articles and “just for fun” resources at the end including a podcast on why you should eat more chocolate (sold), a link to some free Valentine’s Day card printables, and a list of alternatives to treats if that’s not your thing.

Without further ado, I present to you my ultimate guide to Valentine’s Day by dietitians. I hope you find it useful and if you do, share away my friends!
