You probably imagine flowers, sweet treats, nice DIY presents, and maybe a romantic dinner when you think of Valentine's Day. However, a wholesome breakfast is the right way to kickstart the celebration of the day that screams love.
Get up a little early in the morning, prepare a hearty meal for your loved one, and serve it in bed. Not only will your partner appreciate your effort but they will also feel special. Scroll down and journal some lovely ideas.
Heart-Shaped Pancakes
With this heart-shaped version, you can turn traditional pancakes into a romantic breakfast. To make it, prepare your preferred pancake batter and pour it into a heart-shaped mould set on a non-stick frying pan. As an alternative, you can use your batter to draw the shape freehand. For extra flavour, you can add a little cinnamon or vanilla extract while the concoction is cooking.
When your pancakes are slightly brown, dust them with powdered sugar for an irresistible plating. For a romantic touch, top them with whipped cream, fresh fruits, or a drizzle of maple syrup.

Chocolate-Dipped Strawberry Waffles
Another impeccable idea for breakfast in bed is chocolate-dipped strawberry waffles that promise to kickstart the day on a sugary high note. Use chocolate (dark, milk or white) and melt it in a microwave. Set the fresh strawberries on parchment paper and dip in melted chocolate allowing any excess to drip off. Arrange them on top of the waffles, and drizzle the melted chocolate sauce all over the plate for visual appeal.
Berries & Cream French Toast
Use berries and cream to turn traditional French toast into a tasty and romantic brunch dish. First, make your French toast by dipping thick pieces of bread in a mixture of milk, eggs, vanilla, and a little bit of cinnamon. When the toast is done, pile the pieces high and heap the fresh raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries on top. It will be irresistible for your loved one to wait even a second to dig in.

Rose Petal & Honey Yoghurt Parfait
Try rose and honey yoghurt parfait for an appetising yet light breakfast. Choose a creamy Greek yoghurt or your favourite type. You can put a bit of honey in the yoghurt to make it more sweet. Layer it in a bowl or glass with granola for the crunch. Add dried edible rose petals for the floral scent and visual appeal. Top the glasses with fresh fruits, such as pomegranate seeds or raspberries, for colour, and infuse extra flavour with chia seeds or sliced almonds.
Pink Smoothie Bowl
Begin your Valentine's Day with a tasty and healthy bowl of bright pink smoothies. This nutrient-rich smoothie bowl can be made with a mix of fruits, like bananas, strawberries and raspberries, plus yoghurt or almond milk for a creamy texture. Curd makes it good for your gut, fruits are rich in antioxidants, minerals, and vitamins, and dry fruits fulfil the protein requirements. For a beautiful appearance, garnish with edible flowers, granola bars, chia seeds, coconut flakes, and fresh fruits.

Strawberry & Cream Cheese Croissants
Store-bought croissants can be turned into a delicious Valentine's Day treat by carefully slicing them horizontally and stuffing them with a blend of vanilla, finely chopped strawberries, and whipped cream cheese. You can also turn them into a wholesome sandwich by layering mayonnaise, cheese, eggs, proteins, and lots of green vegetables. Serve them with refreshing mocktails, fresh juice, or milkshakes on the side.
