Do you feel a sugar rush coming on?
Between the class-party, the obligatory conversation hearts, and the steady stream of red food dye-riddled treats, Valentine’s Day is pretty much sugar rush day. Instead of strapping a helmet on your kids before they head off to school on the 14th, send them off with a few of these natural alternatives to the fake stuff. A few fruits and veggies included.
Strawberry Filled Pop-Hearts
Pop tarts are one of those coveted, fructose-filled guilty-pleasure breakfast treats. Too bad, because they’re so awesome. This recipe from Babble uses real strawberries and not too much sugar to make for a more natural breakfast. These also make a great gift if wrapped or boxed up.
1 package of refrigerated pie crust
Strawberry filling:
- 1 Tbsp Butter
- 1 cup strawberries
- 1 tsp Lemon juice
- ½ cup sugar
