Fun Valentine's Day Snacks (Recipes included!)

Valentine's Day is around the corner if you haven't noticed, and even the single people want to be festive! Btw Happy Friday the 13th!

So I came up with 3 simple, healthy, and cheap snacks for this Valentine's Day that'll get you through the weekend:

1) The Strawberry Milkshake: bring all the boys to the yard with this healthy and tasty milkshake!

Ingredients:
5 Strawberries (washed and make sure to cut off the leaves)
1 cup of any kind of milk you'd like
1 and a half tablespoon of sugar (only if the strawberries aren't sweetening enough)
1/2 a cup of ice
A can of whip cream



Steps: It's simple! Blend it all together and serve with a heartening dollop of whip cream

2) Fruit Kabob

Ingredients:
Watermelon
Cherries
Blackberries
Raspberries
*honestly you can use any fruit you like
Skewers

Steps:
Skew the fruits onto a skewer, I personally like to cut my watermelon pieces into little heart shapes

3) Strawberries & Creme Crepes (my personal favorite)

Ingredients:
1/2 Tablespoon of butter
2 eggs
1/2 a cup of flower
1 teaspoon of sugar
1/4 teaspoon of salt
3/4 cup of milk
A medium sized pan
Cooking oil

Steps:
1) Place the butter in a bowl and heat in the microwave for about 15 seconds
2) stir the butter till it's completely melted
3) Add the eggs and whisk together
4) After thoroughly mixing, add the flour, sugar, salt, and milk
5) Continue to whisk till the mixture has a smooth consistency
6) Set the pan on the stove with a slight sheen of oil to low to medium heat
7) Take around a 1/4 cup of batter and pour into the pan and rotate till the batter is spread out thinly
8) Cook thoroughly so that they should brown a little, in the end, your crepes should be thin
9) Bon Appetit! I ended up adding some whip cream and strawberries as topping to my crepes but you can always put bananas and chocolate syrup or other goodies to mix things up



I hope you enjoy these sweet treats as much as I do!
Thanks for reading and hope everyone has a nice day! :)
