Vegan Date Night

Who said date night had to be filled with dairy laden desserts and cheese stuffed pasta shells? Read on, dearies - the following recipes will have to ready to go get yourself a hot vegan date! 


But first. What about those things called "aphrodisiac" foods? What are they?! Well, according to peta.org:

We've known for years that vegetarians make better lovers. Physicians agree that eating meat clogs the arteries that go to all the organs, not just the heart. This means that eating meat causes impotence.  Because pure vegetarians are about one-ninth as likely as meat-eaters to be overweightand report that they need less sleep and have more energy than meat-eaters, a vegetarian diet can make you more appealing in the bedroom.

But there's even more good news: Many healthy vegan foods are loaded with natural aphrodisiacs—nutrients and chemicals that boost your and your partner's sexual arousal and performance. Research has shown that vegetarians consume greater amounts of the nutrients that help boost sexual health and performance—such as vitamins A, C, and E and potassium—than meat-eaters do.

Great, huh? Here are some common aphrodisiac foods: asparagus, bananas, chocolate, chili peppers, raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, ginger, pumpkin, figs, almonds/nuts, vanilla, carrots, and pineapple. Those are only a few! Who knew so many foods were aphrodisiacs, huh? Now that you know all that... check out some of my recipes, featuring aphrodisiac foods:
