Super-Sexy St. Valentine's Day Smoothie

on
Here comes a recipe that will stir your senses. Healthy, happy people do not normally have problems with their libido, but even the healthiest and happiest people may want to experience the power of natural aphrodisiacs. 


The ingredients I used in this smoothie are well known for their libido-enhancing activity:
  • almond milk - rich in Vitamin E, zinc and selenium;
  • raw cacao - rich in antioxidants, contains compound known as phenylethylamine (PEA) that  helps you increase the production of endorphins. It stimulates the sense of arousal and well being;
  • strawberries - strawberries are great source of Vitamin C and other antioxidants that help improve blood flow
  • maca - is a well known aphrodisiac used for ages in the Andes to increase strength, stamina, energy, fertility and libido;
  • bananas - rich in B Vitamins, potassium and tryptophan, help you relax, balance sex hormones and  increase sense of well being;
  • cardamom - In many cultures it is considered to be a powerful aphrodisiac;
  • cinnamon - increases blood circulation;  
  • vanilla - this sensual spice helps reduce stress and anxiety;
  • hot peppers - increase blood flow in the body and the release of endorphins;
  • raw honey -  since antiquity honey was associated with love and sexuality. It was mentioned in the Bible and in the Kamasutra. To this day a bridegroom in India is offered honey to increase energy and stamina. 
No matter what aphrodisiacs you decide to use in your food, always remember that the ambiance is just as important as the food you serve. Candle light, red roses, sensual scent and romantic music will help you relax and make your St. Valentine's Day unforgettable. Celebrate love!
