Nutrition made easy. At nutribullet, we believe that good nutrition has the power to transform lives. Our products, from our blenders to our blends, make nutrition fun and hassle-free for any lifestyle. So, if you're looking for a simple way to be healthy, we've got you covered.

We all know that February is the month when we show our love to our valentines – but did you know that it’s also American Heart Month? February is dedicated to raising awareness of heart disease and encouraging heart-healthy and long-term lifestyle changes that keep our hearts beating strong!

While our loved ones give us the inspiration and motivation to live, our hearts pump oxygen through our bodies and provide us with the capacity to live. Let’s show both of them some love this Valentine’s Day!

Instead of giving candies and sugary treats to your loved ones this year, let’s find creative and healthy ways to show our love. Whether it’s your spouse, significant other, parent or child, your valentine will love and appreciate these fun and thoughtful ways to celebrate the holiday of hearts.

6 Heart Healthy Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas

1. Colorful Heart

Instead of a chocolate heart, how about a heart-shaped berry arrangement? Create a large heart on a platter with blueberries, raspberries, blackberries and sliced strawberries. These fruits are filled with vitamins and antioxidants that’ll make everyone’s heart beat a little stronger!

2. Kiss Coupons

Kids and adults love these! Create coupons for kisses that can be used whenever someone is in need of a little pick-me-up smooch. I suggest adding expiration dates so that they use them up in a timely manner!

3. Dark Chocolate

Okay, okay – I know we all love our chocolates. And guess what? Dark chocolate has been shown to have heart-health benefits, as well! Dark chocolate is rich in antioxidants, which have cardio-protective properties. Make this gift even healthier by dipping fresh fruits, such as apples, strawberries and bananas, in dark chocolate for a delicious and nutritious treat.

4. Work Out!

Our hearts are arguably the most important muscle in our bodies! Let’s work them out by having a dance party, going for a hike, jumping rope, or taking a fitness class together! It’s a fun way to combine spending time together with improving heart health! There is no better gift than your time.

5. Technology for Your Heart

A great gift idea is a heart-monitoring gadget! There are so many wearable fitness monitors on the market right now that are fun and health-promoting. They track heart rate, steps walked and calories burned throughout the day – perfect for keeping the heart in tip-top health!

6. Have a Heart

Find a blood drive and donate blood on Valentine’s Day or any day this month. The gift of good health is a gift that keeps on giving.

This year, indulge your sweetheart with a heart-healthy gift that they’ll love as much as their heart does. Happy American Heart Month and Happy Valentine’s Day!
