Valentine's Day is right behind Halloween on the unhealthy holidays list. All that chocolate and champagne isn't exactly low-cal. This year, whether you're celebrating with friends, family, or that special someone, treat loved ones to some delicious and lighter holiday fare. These healthy recipes — from cocktails to breakfast recipes to, yes, desserts — go way beyond oysters on the half-shell and red wine.

Apples, peanut butter, granola, and chocolate chips — what could be better? Feel free to change up the ingredients. We think this would work equally well with almond butter, coconut flakes, raisins, dried cranberries, etc.

This is more of a dessert formula than a bona-fide recipe, but the idea was too cute to pass up. Dip pieces of fruit (strawberries, cherries, raspberries, banana chunks, and orange slices work well) in dark chocolate and sprinkle with coconut flakes. Once they're dried, place them in a heart-shaped candy box and share with someone special!
