So the time has come where love is in the air. Fancy doing
something special this year? Here are a few ideas to help you spread the love.
Indoor Picnic
Fancy
a night in with a twist? Spend your Valentine’s Day dinner enjoying an
indoor picnic. You could go back to basics and make super sandwiches with thick
cut wholemeal bread, with lots of salad and lean protein such as chicken or
fish. Lots of fresh fruit, yogurts and nuts alongside. Don’t forget the bubbly.
Roller Skating
Why not go old school by taking your date roller-skating instead. The roller
rink makes for an awesome date. You can hang out in the arcade, buy your date
some candy, and get cosy for a couple's skate. It also a fab way to exercise
and really get a sweat on.Glampin
Right so camping has always been kind of romantic but "glamping" (glamorous
camping) takes it to a new level. Pitch a tent in the back garden or even the
bedroom, whip up a batch of s’mores, light up the fireplace (on DVD) and get
all cosy in that sleeping bag. You’ll reap the benefits of the fresh air and
why not bring some healthy nibbles to? For example low fat hummus with
crudities such as veggie sticks or wholemeal pita.
Going Back To a Traditional Evening?
Fancy
a traditional valentines home cooked meal? The classic country of love is
Italy, so why not go Italian? Get a posh table cloth, a few candles and most
importantly food. Luckily Italian food can be made quite healthy without so
much fuss. So why not try simple bruschetta with plum tomatoes’, olive and
fresh basil for starters. Then go for something simple tomato and vegetable
based dishes like spaghetti Napoli bolognaise, or penne in tomato and basil
made with whole-wheat pasta of course. Or you could even make your own pizzas
using a wholemeal base (found in health food stores, or supermarkets) and chuck
on plenty of veg, lean meat such as chicken and little low fat cheese. For
desert, try sorbets with fresh fruit or low fat natural yogurt with
strawberries.
