Valentines Strawberries

Happy Valentines Day! And don’t give me any of that “singleawareness day” stuff. Valentines is a day of love, yes. But you love yourfriends and family don’t you? Ok then don’t freak out if you don’t have that"special someone" this year. Valentine's day can still be a fun holiday! I loveValentines Day. I love making little valentine notes and treats for my family and friends.The holiday kind of creeped up on me this year or else I would have maybe donea little more for my family and friends. Well, how can I let Valentine’s Daypass without making a dessert, and what better dessert than chocolate coveredstrawberries? So I made this chocolatey dip stuff. But this isn’t yournormal chocolate dip. It is made with greek yogurt, peanut mill, agave, andcocoa. Dipped with strawberries, it’s a delicious bite full of nutty,chocolatey, fruity goodness. It almost reminded me of a bite of a PB&Jsandwich with a tint of chocolate. A nice, healthy alternative to milkchocolate strawberries, I thought. It’s a nice little way to switch things upthis year. If anything, it’s a healthy relief from all the Valentines day candywhen you still want something sweet. So I hope you enjoyed your Valentines Daywith your special someone or even with your family and friends.
