5 Vegan aphrodisiac foods-Just in Time My Valentine

Valentine’s Day is on its way and maybe this year the guy or gal of your dreams loves animals as much as he or she loves you! That throws a curve into those plans for a romantic dinner of surf and turf .  But not to worry, our friends at MvVay Media have rounded up 5 vegan food items that may put your significant other in a significant mood..5 Vegan foods that put you in the mood

1. Sesame seeds

For being so tiny, sesame seeds are pumped with the amino acid L-arginine, which can deliciously enhance circulation — and anything that improves blood flow through the body is a libido booster. Crust tofu with sesame seeds, sprinkle them over salads, or make a sweet tahini sauce to drizzle over a luscious scoop of vegan ice cream.

2. Fresh ginger

A natural stimulant, ginger has long been considered an aphrodisiac. Mince ginger into a veggie stir-fry, steep ginger into a tea, or make a sexy cocktail using ginger vodka.

3. Dark chocolate

Without even trying, dark chocolate is a sensual vegan treat that releases a mood-lifting surge of endorphins and other feel-good chemicals. For the ultimate aphrodisiac experience, feed dark chocolate dipped strawberries to each other or make a dark chocolate sauce to moisten slices of vegan chocolate cake.

 4. Chilie peppers

Chilies contain the heat-producing oil capsaicin, which naturally stimulates circulation and endorphins. Think about it: When you eat hot peppers, you immediately feel a surge of adrenaline and even sweat while your heart rate and breathing rate increase. These lovely physical responses to chilies are similar to those you experience when you’re in love.

5. Garlic

The key to garlic being a mood food is to make sure you and your mate eat it together. Steep garlic in oil and use the oil to sauté vegetables, toss with pasta, or to make a vinaigrette for a salad.
