Looking for some healthy sweet treats to make for Valentine's Day this year?
These delicious desserts are the perfect way to celebrate after a romantic dinner, without the sugar crash that comes from too much heart-shaped candy.
Whether you're craving a refreshing smoothie or a rich chocolate treat, these easy recipes will satisfy your sweet tooth with less sugar.
Chocolate Strawberry Mousse (Vegan)
This healthy recipe uses simple ingredients to create a rich, decadent mousse. Made with cacao powder, maple syrup and avocado (don't worry, you can't taste it), this nutritious dessert is full of healthy fats, and much less added sugar!
Raw Vegan Almond Butter Cups
There's no need to visit the candy aisle this Valentine's Day. These raw vegan almond butter cups are the Reese's alternative that won't sideline your health goals. Made with fully raw ingredients, they’re suitable for raw vegans or anyone who wants to sneak some extra nutrients into their dessert.
Red Velvet Smoothie
This beetroot red velvet smoothie takes inspiration from the cake. Part healthy, part indulgent, this smoothie ticks all the boxes. Red beets, cacao powder and frozen banana combine to create the perfect, easy Valentine's Day drink. The best part is that you can't even taste the beetroot once it's mixed into the smoothie.
Strawberry Cheesecake Overnight Oats
These oats make the perfect breakfast or sneakily healthy dessert. Homemade strawberry jam and a little bit of Biscoff cookie crumbs elevate your usual oatmeal into a tasty treat. Plus, they're easily made vegan!
The Best Easy Biscoff Hot Chocolate Recipe
Classic hot chocolate meets creamy cookie butter for a delightful sweet treat. If you're looking for a low sugar dessert, this might not be the one for you . . . but sometimes it's worth it to splurge for special occasions.
Healthy Chocolate Pancakes
These healthy chocolate pancakes are about to be your new go-to! They are super fluffy, vegan sugar-free, and perfect for kids and adults alike. To make them extra special for Valentine's Day, cut them with a heart-shaped cookie cutter. What's not to love?
Strawberry Chocolate Chip Baked Oats
Baked oats are not strictly for breakfast! In fact, their cake-like texture makes them a great fun snack or dessert. This iteration riffs on chocolate-covered strawberries by incorporating fresh berries and dark chocolate chips. A bit of protein powder adds extra nutrients and flavour, giving these oats more protein overall than a typical protein bar.
Healthy Vegan Mars Bars
These Mars Bars-inspired chocolates are the perfect treat for your Galentine's Day party. With a nougat base, caramel layer and melted chocolate topping, they contain all the elements of the classic. Just levelled up!
Raspberry Chocolate Overnight Weetabix

The Best Easy Tim Tam Balls (With or Without Thermomix)
If you're searching for healthy Valentine's Day snacks, this recipe is not the one for you. However, we had to include it, as these Tim Tam balls are one of the best treats to make for school parties. With less than 5 ingredients and only a few minutes of prep time required, they are the perfect easy addition to any snack table.
The Most Incredible Black Forest Baked Oats
This is a "black forest" take on one of my favourite breakfasts: Baked oats. Perfect for when you're craving something sweet and chocolatey to start the day.
