You don't have to wait for big occasions to prepare a special evening with your partner. A little surprise or simply taking some time out to talk about the day can become something very special, especially if the conversation revolves around an intimate dinner with a delicious menu like the one we propose for Valentine's night by Gema Martíz, who brings us a romantic and healthy proposal. A vegetarian dinner for two. 

Cocktail aperitif

A cocktail to warm feelings and open hearts with aloe vera juice with pomegranate.

• Cider

• Aloe vera juice with pomegranate Green Frog

Mix the cider and the pomegranate and aloe vera juice in equal parts in a glass. Stir and serve very cold. 

Guacamole with heart

• Avocado at its peak

• Spring onion

• Lemon 

• 1 tablespoon of pure aloe vera juice (approx. 15 ml.) Green Frog

• Sea salt

• Wholemeal bread without crust

• Heart-shaped biscuit mould

Put the peeled avocado, a squeeze of lemon juice, half a spring onion cut into small cubes, the spoonful of aloe vera and a little salt on a plate. With a fork, mash the ingredients and taste until it is to your liking. 

If you don't have spring onion, you can use onion (be careful with the quantity, which is stronger than spring onion) or dehydrated onion (much softer).

Using a heart-shaped biscuit tin (available in bazaars), cut the bread into hearts and toast it. If you don't have a mould, you can make the shape with a knife. 

Once toasted, serve them with the avocado on top. You can garnish with a little sweet paprika.
