These protein-packed Red Velvet Valentine’s Day treats won’t leave you with any regrets… in terms of nutrition, time spent, or (most importantly) taste!
Vegas’s favorite dessert is red velvet cake. When we first started dating I made her red velvet everything because I’m the best wife ever. However, she wasn’t expecting the healthy, protein spin I’d put on it all. She appreciates me, I’m sure…
This Valentine’s Day is no different. I’ll most certainly make her see red, though not in the way I typically do these days. 😉
This post is a round up of my favorite protein-rich red velvet treats; all of which you can make on the fly. I know some of y’all have to be as last minute as I am this year. Bonus: they’re all pretty damn tasty!

You won’t believe this if you know me… but I’m going to a yoga event on Valentine’s day. Granted, it IS at a brewery. 😉
What are your plans for Valentine’s Day?
What’s your favorite Valentine’s treat? I love the Reese’s hearts! So much peanut butter…
Myra says
Yum!!! More awesome V-Day recipes to try. I love red velvet anything too!
Heather says
Great list! I love red velvet flavored healthy treats, which is why I need to order more CoCo Cardio from iHerb soon, it curbs the craving fast! 🙂 Happy early Valentine’s Day! 🙂
Laura says
Thanks! I’ve been using CocoCardio for like 5 years. It’s the best!
Jen @ Chase the Red Grape says
Everything looks really good BUT I have never had red velvet anything! You won’t find it anywhere really in the UK… Have I been deprived?
We aren’t doing much for Valentine’s Day but I am meeting David after work for gelato… Can’t wait!
Laura says
Whaaaaat?! No worries though… it’s basically cocoa powder with red food coloring. 😉
Allie Capo-Burdick says
Only you could find a Valentine yoga event at a brewery! I mean, seriously!! Even my husband would be down for that kind of yoga 🙂
I also love all things red velvet so I’m not even sure where to begin here…
Laura says
Haha! That’s the only way I got Vegas to go. 😉
Carla says
Apparently my plans now are to make/post flyers by day and consume protein balls by night 🙂
Although I do love me some red velvet absolutely anything….
Laura says
Consuming balls, eh? 😉
Susie @ Suzlyfe says
So the first time that I had red velvet, I hated it. But it could have been because I was being obstinate due to the fact that I wanted a chocolate cake for my birthday. Thank goodness I’ve since wised up.
Laura says
I’m so glad I don’t have to smack you. xo
Kate says
I really think Vegas and I would get along.
Laura says
LOL! We’ll cross paths one day, I’m sure. 🙂
Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner says
Ooh the protein bars look great! Love all the red velvet
Mary says
Yes please keep it coming I need all the Valentine’s day goodness I can get. I need those Red Velvet Funfetti Protein Bars. Can you come over and make me those Red Velvet Protein Waffles.
Laura says
Totally! You can decorate and make party favors?
Meghan@CleanEatsFastFeets says
You are a good wife. I’d marry you if I wasn’t already taken and swung that way.
Laura says
I’m showing Vegas that.
Megan Olson says
I am so down with these recipes! Need to try every one of them. P.S. I literally laughed out loud at the yoga thing. I don’t do yoga, but beer I’m always down for.
Laura says
I got lucky… I just did the beer part. 😉
GiGi Eats says
I will never understand WTF red velvet is! hahahahahahaha!
Laura says
Coca + red food coloring.
Nicole @ Foodie Loves Fitness says
Red velvet heaven! Wanna hear a secret? I’m not that big on red velvet. I don’t hate it, but I usually don’t go for it either. I don’t like cheesecake either, I don’t know what my problem is hahaha
Laura says
You’re just nuts. 😉
Lauren says
Yummmm. I love chocolate so I love red velvet-although I love it the most for cake because of the cream cheese frosting. Great round-up!
Laura says
I’m with you! Cream cheese frosting is my favorite. 🙂
Emily says
Red Velvet… I love how you went down a different strain of dessert for this round-up!
Laura says
Thank you, Emily!
