Valentine’s Day Breakfast
Your kids will love celebrating Valentine’s Day with a fun twist on their food! I’m sharing ideas for all three meals and even some tasty sweets!
Four Ingredient Smoothie
Start your loved one’s day off right with a simple, four-ingredient, breakfast smoothie and a heart-shaped pancake. These are simple and nutrient-filled.
This smoothie is simple and perfectly pink for Valentine’s Day!
- Blend up milk (any kind you have), yogurt (optional), frozen RED berries (I like a combo of raspberry and strawberry), and ice.
- Serve immediately.
Heart-Shaped Waffles
Available online are both mini-heart-shaped waffle makers as well as a heart-shaped pan. Add some berries to the waffle batter or top top of waffles.
Mom Tip: Add a scoop of vanilla protein powder for added protein to keep their tummies full longer!
Valentine’s Day Lunch
I Love You Like Peanut Butter Love Jelly – Heart Shaped Sandwiches
Who doesn’t love a surprise in their school lunch? Use a heart-shaped sandwich cutter, and “stamp out” your child’s sandwiches.
Nut-butter and jelly are always a great combo (my daughter prefers almond butter and raspberry jelly).
This can also be done with a lunch-meat sandwich as well. So simple to make. And SO SATISFYING to eat. Perfect to pair with some yummy snacks.
Heart-Shaped Veggie and Hummus Platter:
Cut colorful vegetables like bell peppers, cucumbers, and carrots into heart shapes. Arrange the veggies on a plate in the shape of a heart. Serve with heart-shaped pita slices and a side of hummus.
Love Notes in Your Lunch – Fruit with Valentine’s Day Messages
Tell your loved ones how much you care by leaving them a love note in their lunch-box! All you need is edible markers and whatever fruit you usually pack for your little.
Write cute rhymes, draw hearts, tell your child what you love about them.
Can you imagine the looks on their faces when they open their lunch boxes and see these cute Valentine’s Day fruits with messages?!
Valentine’s Day Dinner
Piece of My Heart – Heart-Shaped Pizza
What better way to celebrate Valentine’s Day with the kids than with this heart-shaped pizza? Frozen bread dough makes this Valentine’s Day recipe come together in no time. Form pizza dough into the shape of a heart.
*Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods both offer dough, pizza sauce, cheese, and toppings for an easy grocery run.
Have your kiddos help you cover with their favorite toppings. Bake according to directions.
Valentine’s Day Desserts
Valentine’s Day Cookie – Dipped Oreos
Make a special treat for your valentine that they’re sure to love! These are super easy to make. All you need is Oreos, melting chocolate (in either red or pink), and Valentine’s Sprinkles!
Simply melt chocolate, dip Oreos, sprinkle with sprinkles. Let dry. ENJOY.
Heart-Shaped Strawberry Shortcakes
Cut heart shapes from layers of shortcake or biscuits. Layer the hearts with whipped cream and fresh strawberries. Top with an additional heart-shaped shortcake piece and more strawberries.
Cupid’s Heart Strawberry Float – Dessert Drink
This fun Valentine Drink takes a twist on the Classic Root Beer Float! Use strawberry soda and mix with ice cream for a yummy Valentine’s Day dessert drink.
Top with whipped cream and maraschino cherries for that fun “cherry on top”.
