I love the weekends! I can sleep later, exercise more, leisurely read the news paper and hang out with my hubby! I just realized that this weekend is also a few days before Valentine’s Day. My inbox is flooded with healthy Valentine’s Day recipes and in honor of this holiday I may even try a few of these out this weekend.
So, what sounds good? I love smoothies- they are quick and easy to make and I always have something in my freezer that I can throw into the blender. A great breakfast drink, a snack or a after workout boost. Chocolate on Valentine’s Day seems appropriate. So how about a chocolate banana smoothie! Click here for the recipe. For a snack that will solve my sweet tooth dilemma and is made with real unprocessed foods I love the sound of raw chocolate cashew bars. Click here for the recipe. And lastly I will try dark chocolate cherry energy bites. These seem like a great pre-work out snack or just a taste of a healthy sweet. They are gluten free, vegan and paleo.

Enjoy your weekend - make it sweet!
