Now that Valentine’s Day is over, we’re taking stock of our eating habits. We enjoyed our fill of heart-shaped boxes filled with chocolates, carb-filled meals for two and sipping glass after glass of champagne. While completely delicious, our Valentine’s Day fare wasn’t exactly low-cal. It’s time to reset the clock and get back on track with healthy snacking. We’ve got you covered with the recipes below. From cauliflower breadsticks to triple chocolate granola, these 11 tasty snacks are sure to get your healthy eating back on track.
