Looking for some healthy Valentine treats?
We've got you covered from Beverages to Desserts!
Some other whole food bloggers from Nourished Living Network are joining me for a Valentine's Day Progressive Dinner Party! Each day we will have a different course laid out for you so that you can put together some great whole-body-nourishing treats that show love in more than one way.
No need to overdo it on not-so-good for you food and pay for it the next day :-)!
We're kicking off the party today with Valentine's drinks.
I'm sharing two healthy drinks:
- Rich, Delicious and Healthy Coffee Substitute –
a great way to treat yourself or your Valentine who is hoping to stop the caffeine habit!
The other bloggers have the following great beverage options for you. How about:
- KerryAnn at Cooking Traditional Foods submits her Spicy Hot Chocolate
- Jill at The Prairie Homestead submits her Peppermint Milkshake.
Tomorrow we'll have some wonderful Valentine's Breakfast Treats lined up for you.
Enjoy in good health!
What are your plans for Valentines' Day?

Wow! That coffee substitute sounds very interesting. Thanks for sharing this at allergy free wednesday! Hope to see you again next week.
Adrienne says
Thanks, Nancy. I really enjoy it. See you next week!
Krisi (Shelf Reliance Consultant) says
It all sounds yummy. I think I will have some lemonade tonight! I love the NuNaturals Stevia as well.
Ruth says
I use NuNaturals NuStevia. Is that an OK one? I refuse to buy Truvia because Monsanto makes me mad.
Adrienne says
Yes, Ruth. That is one of the brands that I like. I use the pure extract w/o fillers. I am hoping to try Sweetleaf soon. KAL is also pretty good. I can’t stand Monsanto either. Good for you!
Ruth says
I usually just use lemons from Aldi –real ones, but not organic. 🙁 Oh well. Lemon water is supposed to be really good for you, but a dash of stevia makes it taste so much better. I don’t like stevia in just anything, but it seems to be perfect with lemons.
Adrienne says
I wouldn’t worry too much about the lemons being organic or not. They’re not part of the dirty dozen on EWG’s site. You can see more on my post about Top 5 Tips for Healthier Eating. The Costco lemon juice is just amazing. A friend of mine said her husband drank it straight out of the bottle. And what stevia are you using? The brand makes a HUGE difference. But I agree that it blends great w/ the lemon juice. :-).
France says
What a great idea for a valentine’s day treat. Joshua and I really enjoy a virgin,raspberry balsamic mojito. So yummy.
Adrienne says
Thanks, France!
Ruth says
I just made stevia lemonade for my son’s breakfast this morning, because we were out of orange juice. He said, “Wow Mom, thanks for the lemonade!” 🙂 Good stuff, that. I don’t know why everybody doesn’t drink it.
Adrienne says
Yea! We love it too. It really helps me when I need to drink plain water but just don’t want to. Take care! Do you use the lemon juice from Costco?
Traci says
