Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, and this year more than ever, we should be showing our love and appreciation for those closest to us. Skip the cliche box of chocolates or candy hearts, and opt for something more personalized, like a themed Valentine’s Day basket with ingredients bought from Sprouts!

I’ve been upping my at-home workout game this winter, so I wanted to create a fun Valentine’s Day basket with some pre- and post-workout essentials (with some healthy treats, too), all purchased from my local Sprouts! When I was picking these items, it was fun to challenge myself to see how many pink and red colored goodies I could find to include in the basket as, you know, to go with the Valentine’s theme!

I love that Sprouts has such a wide variety of fitness-related products available at their stores. From protein powders, energy bars, hydration supplements, and even workout equipment (in select stores). Sprouts is a one stop shop for all of your workout-related needs! When looking for items I could include in this basket, I wanted to cover all of my bases. I included some pre-workout essentials like watermelon hydration mix, non-toxic deodorant, energy packets, collagen protein products, and a variety of waters. Similarly, I couldn’t forget some post-workout necessities like protein bars, epsom salts to soothe sore muscles, face wipes to keep your skin glowing, and a few well-earned treats. I could’ve walked the aisles for hours with the wide selection!

Sprouts has always been my go-to grocery store, not only for food-related items and ingredients, but for my favorite fitness and wellness goodies that I rely on during my day to day. I love browsing the Wellness section, as I can always find new products and old favorites. I can count on Sprouts to have the latest and greatest items, that I can’t typically find at other grocery stores (did you notice those new Siete Grain Free Cookies I included? I hadn’t seen them before!).

What I love most about Sprouts is the great prices on their items. From produce to supplements, Sprouts offers my favorite products at affordable prices, and frequently offers deals. Plus, the staff is so helpful. An employee couldn’t have been nicer when I asked her for suggestions on supplements. They are always so warm and happy to assist their customers, which I appreciate.

I hope you create a fun themed basked of your own this Valentine’s Day, and make sure to check out your local Sprouts for all of your essentials! Click here to find the Sprouts store nearest you!
