Healthy Valentine's Day Snacks:

• Fruit Salad - Do you kids have a favorite fruit?  A Valentine's Day themed fruit salad with strawberries, bananas, grapes, and other fun fruits can the perfect healthy snack.
• Strawberry Milk - Milk is full of vitamins that are good for teeth.  While strawberry milk can be on the sugary side, the coloring is perfect for Valentine's Day - as long as you remember to brush after!
