Why We Love These Cute Valentine’s Day Breakfast Ideas
- Healthy start to the day:Valentine’s Day is normally one of the most indulgent holidays.

- Easy to make:These fun ideas might look complicated, but they aren’t! Most of them use cookie cutters or molds to form simple ingredients into something new and exciting. You can make some of these Valentine’s Day treats in just a few seconds!
- Cute and colorful:The goal is to make your healthy Valentine’s Day breakfast as exciting as possible to make sure your kids start the day off right. With lots of bright colors and fun heart-shaped items, your kids won’t be able to help but grab the fresh berries or applesauce hearts off their plates!

Valentine’s Parfaits
A sweet little strawberry heart can turn any dish into a special treat. The homemade chia jam is the perfect way to get them to eat some extra fruit before they start their day.
On the plate:
- Valentine’s Parfait: Layer up strawberry chia jam (or sub in diced strawberries) with Greek yogurt (plain or a low sugar flavored kind), granola, more yogurt and then top with a strawberry heart.
Heart Shaped Eggs
Aren’t these heart eggs so much fun? You just need a heart-shaped silicone mold or muffin tray and some whole eggs. This is the perfect recipe to serve up some extra protein on Valentine’s morning.
On the plate:
- Heart shaped eggs

Heart Shaped Waffles
One of my favorite Valentine’s Day breakfast ideas is to serve waffles or pancakes formed into hearts. Aren’t the XOXO fruits adorable?
On the plate:
- 3-Ingredient Protein Waffles cut into hearts using heart-shaped cookie cutters (you can also use heart-shaped waffle maker if you have one) and topped with a pouf of whipped cream

Valentine’s Overnight Oats
Instead of cutting your foods, use the heart-shaped cookie cutter to add an easy heart design to your overnight oats or yogurt with pomegranate seeds!
On the plate:
- Overnight oats: In a bowl, mix 1/2 cup rolled oats + 1 tablespoon chia seeds + 3/4 cup milk + 1/4 cup low sugar strawberry Greek yogurt + 1 tablespoon strawberry chia jam. Allow to sit in the fridge for at least 8 hours. Place a heart-shaped cookie cutter over the surface of the oats, and sprinkle pomegranate seeds into the cookie cutter until a heart shape is formed. Carefully remove the cookie cutter and serve.
You can use this idea with any type of overnight oats that you prefer! These banana overnight oats would also be delicious!

Valentine’s Breakfast Tips
- Keep it simple. You can easily turn simple ingredients or breakfast ideas into a Valentine’s Day treat by cutting them into hearts or adding a pop of red or pink.
- Involve the kids. Scroll through these recipes with the kids and see which easy recipes they want to try! They can even help make them. The more they get involved, the more likely it is that they’ll actually eat this special homemade breakfast.
- Remember balance.I highly recommend keeping breakfast lower in sugar if possible since they’ll likely get some later in the day. If they love chocolate though, it’s okay to add some dark chocolate chips or some sweetened yogurt melts here and there. Let it be fun and special!
