Welcome to the first of three posts that are part of my Getting Sexy in the Kitchen Series. Today we will cover your sweet aphrodisiac foods. In the next two parts, I’ll cover your savory options and then look at some spices and herbs.
I call you out as a hedonist! Don’t worry, I am not judging you on what you might be doing behind closed doors. But if you are reading this blog or consider yourself a foodie, then YOU, my friend, are a hedonic eater! No wonder you landed here looking for aphrodisiac recipes.
You are in search of pleasure through food. It’s a turn on, it makes you feel good, it in fact releases dopamine in your body. Unfortunately for most people that means junk food – sugar and carbs. But I like to think of epicureans as a higher breed who can find pleasure in any food. Even healthy ones if prepared in a sexy delicious way!
Consuming You Turns Me On
Aphrodisiac ingredients in this Feeling Hot Chocolate Smoothie recipe:
- bananas contain bromelain, an enzyme that triggers testosterone production.
- mangos, loaded with vitamin E, help to regulate sex hormones and boosts sex drive.
- avocados, also full of vitamin E, the conquerors of South Americ forbade its people to eat them because they resembled hanging testicles.
- cacao or dark chocolate stimulates dopamine, inducing feelings of pleasure.
- maca boosts virility and improves sexual desire, like a natural Viagra pill.
- cayenne/ chili peppers can raise your heart rate and stimulate endorphins.
Other sweet aphrodisiac foods include, but are not limited too, watermelon, almonds, raspberries, figs, coconut water, pomegranate, honey, strawberries, and cherries.
This unctuous and slightly spicy smoothie is not too sweet and will not leave you feeling weighed down before a romp in the bedroom. And obviously, the Feeling Hot Chocolate Smoothie recipe serves two people. I will not judge if you make it for one…or three!
Include this smoothie as part of a red recipe menu for Saint-Valentine’s Day for your loved (lusted) one. And check out my whole Getting Sexy in the Kitchen Series , including my Shrimp Bedded on Beluga lentils Snuggled by Pomegranate Fennel Salsa main dish.

Sounds like a fun recipe. I’ve never tried maca (to my knowledge.) I hope it doesn’t overpower the cocoa.
Maca is light and nutty, just enhances the chocolate. it is a superfood ingredient.
its delicious and there no doubt about it. i have never used maca powder yet in any of my recipes so i am actually thrilled to try that out.
Thank you Priya! Do you have maca already? it’s delicious for sure.
I love chocolate and this smoothie sounds divine! Love that it has avocado in it too!
Yes I LOVE the avocado in there, give a smoothie creamier texture.
Wow, all the dopamine, testosterone, endorphins, etc. in all those ingredients surely will make this chocolate smoothie aphrodisiac!!!
Indeed, it leaves one feeling rambunctious but not weighed down 😉
This sounds to dangerous to drink. I think I better just give it to my husband!
LOL, well it does make 2 portions, better be dangerous together 😉
This sounds delicious, I love all the different ingredients and flavours you’ve added.
Thanks Caroline, it is quite tasty 🙂
Anything with chocolate will do nicely for me! I’m definitely feeling this one!
Loves chocolate, my kind of gal Cheers 😀
Our winter down here stinks, too! Tomorrow we’ll be warm for a change after freezing rain yesterday that made for treacherous roads. I think I’ll need a few of these smoothies to help me through the season!
I think we have the same winter, just terrible and yeah we also got the ice rain Tuesday.
Gotta love any and all aphrodisiacs! This is definitely one heavy duty drink and I’m loving it!
Definitely a happy drink lol. More aphrodisiacs recipes to come!
What an energetic smoothie this is :). Love your trailer BTW, so natural and I like the small clips near the end. Two thumbs up .
Thank you Amira, so glad you like the smoothie and video 😀
Chocolate is always sexy but I love the way that you have added other aphrodisiac ingredients to this smoothie! The perfect St Valentine’s Day drink
Thank you Suze, chocolate always rules for sure 🙂 but the extra bonuses here make it irresistible 😀
OMG I love everything about this post. And “getting sexy?” – what an awesome theme. I’m pinning this recipe for future reference – can’t wait to see what else you come up with.
Question – I’m allergic to banana, do you think I could sub extra avocado?
Thank you Malini, so glad you LOVE (or lust haha) the smoothie recipe. Yes you could double up on the mango and avocado specified in the recipe and skip the banana. Next week will be up Tuesday 😉
Yummy! Exceptional smoothie recipe, Evelyne! Perfect combo of ingredients for a great start of the day!
Thank you Agness, I think it is even paleo if we change up the milk, right? 🙂
Hahaha, I know chocolate is supposed to be an aphrodisiac… but I just don’t get it? Like… does it work?! lol! Great post my friend! <3 –
Well there are no guarantees of course, but chocolate stimulates dopamine, inducing feelings of pleasure…so you could be more open to being turned on 😉
Ha! Hilarious (and useful)!!!!!
😉 more sexy hilarity to come!
Yup, I’m definitely a hedonic eater! And many of us cook to show love, so it makes sense that we eat to love. 🙂 So what exactly does it mean when I say I love to cook? 😀 Anyway, wonderful smoothie recipe — love it!
Ha glad you assume yourself as a hedonic eater. Hmm good point on ‘love to cook’ lol. More food sexiness next week!
Mango, Avocado and Cocoa in one drink! Something unheard of but thats everything I want in a glass

I was not expecting the mango! 😀
