Healthy Habits: Valentines's Day Treats


Yogurt Dipped Ombre Strawberries

1 lb. strawberries
22 oz. vanilla Greek yogurt (or any plain yogurt)
Red food coloring

INSTRUCTIONS

Divide yogurt into 4 small bowls; one bowl with no coloring, one bowl with 2 drops of coloring, another bowl with 4 drops and the last bowl with 6 drops. Mix colors well and set aside.


Dip the strawberries into bowls of colored yogurt and place them on a baking sheet to set, freezing for one hour. Remove strawberries from the freezer and re-dip each into the colored yogurt. Place them back into the freezer for another hour or two until ready to serve.

Chocolate Pomegranate Candies


- fresh pomegranate seeds
- chocolate chips
- cupcake tray lined with cupcake wrappers

If you choose to do so, you should lightly oil the wrappers before placing anything in them. This ensures that the paper will come off easily, but this step may not be necessary. Melt chocolate chips to make a sauce in either the microwave for about 1 minute or on the stove in a double boiler (You can also add about 1 tsp oil per cup of chocolate chips before melting to achieve a smoother sauce). Set aside. Place some pomegranate seeds inside the pre-oiled cupcake wrappers—about 2 tbsp but depends on size. Finally, cover the seeds completely in melted chocolate and be sure to touch the sides of the wrapper to get the jagged edge effect. 


Freeze to set the chocolate covered pomegranate candies. They can be kept in either the fridge or freezer, and can stay out at room temperature for a few hours if your home is not very hot.
