Healthy Valentine’s Day Treats

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Bloom U chapter.

Valentine’s Day is literally right around the corner (seriously guys it’s 2 days away), and so is SPRING BREAK?! Yes, that’s right. Spring break is only 4 weeks away and although those chocolates do look delicious, I went on Pinterest and found some of my favorite healthy desserts for you to indulge in instead. You will thank me later when you are soaking up the sun on a beach somewhere! :)
