Un San Valentín Bilingüe: Como ya contaba hace mucho, cualquier fecha destacada es una buena oportunidad para practicar vocabulario. Y como el peque ya es más grande hemos pensado que para este año, vamos celebrar un San Valentín con varias actividades.

Cook: Ya que en casa somos muy realfood, que mejor que hacer alguna receta saludable con forma de corazón :) os dejo aquí varias recetas que he encontrado.

Heart Kabobs with Fruits: 

Make It

1.Cut fruit into 1-inch-thick slices. Using a small heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut hearts from melon slices. Poke a hole in each heart with a toothpick, going from top to bottom. Then thread fruit on ice-pop sticks.

Make dip:

2.Stir together yogurt, orange juice concentrate, and honey until well combined. Serve with hearts.


White Chocolate Raspberry Valentine’s Smoothie:

Ingredients

1 tbsp white chocolate chips
1/2 cup nonfat vanilla greek yogurt
3/4 cup frozen raspberries
1 cup almond milk or milk of choice
1/2 cup ice (only if using fresh raspberries)
Fresh raspberries for garnish (optional)

Instructions

In a small microwave safe bowl, heat white chocolate chips about 30 seconds and stir until smooth and melted through. Set aside to cool slightly.
Add all ingredients, including melted chocolate, to a blender (or bullet, food processor, etc). Blend until smooth.
Pour into glasses and top with fresh berries. Enjoy!

Chocolate Fruit Crisp for Two:

Ingredients

2 cups fresh or frozen fruit (I used a combination of cherries, strawberries, and raspberries)
1 tablespoon arrowroot starch
pinch sea salt
1 heaping teaspoons orange zest
1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
Topping
2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut
2 tablespoons walnuts
¼ cup almond flour
1 tablespoon coconut flour
1 tablespoon cacao powder (or unsweetened cocoa powder)
1½ tablespoon coconut oil
2 large dates, pitted
pinch sea salt

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
In a bowl toss the fruit with the arrowroot, salt, orange zest and juice to coat.
Divide the fruit into two 8 ounce oven safe dishes.
In a food processor add to topping ingredients and pulse until ingredients are just incorporated and forms a moist but crumbly mixture (just enough to chop the dates/walnuts and mix in the coconut oil).
Divide the topping evenly on top of the two fruit dishes.
Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes until slightly bubbly and topping is set and golden.
Serve immediately, at room temperature, or cold from the fridge.


Books: Ya os he hablado muchas veces de la importancia de la lectura, los cuentos y su rutina. Así que para esta ocasión toca leer sobre el amor, os dejo varios títulos sobre esta temática para los más peques que he encontrado en el blog de themeasuredmom.
