Valentine’s Day Fruit Tray
by Amanda Keefer
Looking for a healthy and festive treat to serve up for Valentine’s Day? Assemble your favorite fruits in a heart shape for this Valentine’s Day Fruit Tray. This cute fruit platter is easy to assemble, tasty, and a healthy alternative to candy and chocolate.
Over the years, as the kids have grown, we continuously experiment with fun and festive ways to enjoy all the holidays—yet in a healthier manner. Last Valentine’s Day, we made Tiramisu for Tots, which was a hit with the family. Last week, we made Strawberry Valentine’s Day Skewers. The kids seem to get a kick out of anything shaped like something or in interesting forms. This Valentine’s Day Fruit Tray is arranged in the shape of a heart to help celebrate Cupid’s day.
We used strawberries for their natural heart shape and red coloring. But if you want to use raspberries, purple grapes, or even cherries would work well, too. Have fun with this. It is simple so the kids can all assemble a mini version for themselves with the fruits they like!

What We Love About Strawberries
As one of the most loved fruits, strawberries are so juicy, flavorful, and loaded with so many great benefits! You can cook with them, bake with them, or enjoy them just as they are. Strawberries are loaded in Vitamin C, potassium, and fiber. They are also known to have many heart healthy benefits, too. Strawberries are a low calorie food and contain no sodium!
Health Benefits of Kiwi
Kiwi are a powerhouse for Vitamin C, one serving contains more than eating two oranges! They also are know to help control blood pressure, help promote healthy kidney function, and are great for our digestive track! These little sweet juicy fruits are popular with children since they are so tasty, too!
How to Assemble this Valentine’s Day Fruit Tray
First start by washing and preparing the fruits you are using. We peeled and sliced the kiwi and cut them in halves. We removed the greens off of the strawberries and sliced them in half, too.
Then grab a white platter or even a cheese board and assemble the strawberries and blueberries in the center. Next layer the kiwi fruit around and form into a heart shape. Refrigerate until ready to serve and enjoy!
