My go-to breakfast on most days is a protein, fat and fiber-based Breakfast Smoothie, To celebrate the day of love, I’ve tweaked my recipe a little into a delicious vanilla and strawberry combo featuring ingredients that are hormone balancing, energy-giving, and libido-boosting.

Libido-Boosting Valentine’s Day Breakfast Smoothie

Collagen Peptides: Supplementing with collagen can heal, tighten and firm the cellular matrix throughout the body, including the vaginal wall, resulting in a more pleasurable sexual experience. Choose New Chapter’s Collagen Glow for extra skin-boosting benefits!

Rose Beauty Water: Used for centuries in beauty rituals, rose water is anti-inflammatory and calming to the central nervous system, and can give skin a beautiful glow, inside and out.

Maca Powder: The adaptogen maca has been used for centuries to boost energy and libido due to its high iodine and zinc levels. This wonder root has even been clinically proven to improve women’s sexual experience and satisfaction. I love New Chapter’s Fermented Maca Booster Powder.

Ashwagandha Powder: Cited in the Kama Sutra as a “potent igniter of passion and desire,” ashwagandha is a mineral-rich adaptogen that has anecdotal evidence of increasing blood flow to the sexual organs for both men and women.

Brazil Nut Butter: Brazil nuts are a great source of fatty acids, which are essential for healthy skin, hair, and nails. They are also one of the best sources of selenium, a mineral that aids in thyroid and sex hormone balance.

Organic Strawberries: A Valentine’s Day staple, strawberries are rich in vitamin C, which is essential for healthy circulation and has been reported to boost female libido.

Walnut Milk: Rich in the essential minerals magnesium and zinc, and high in fatty acids, the nutritional profile of walnuts is thought to improve sex hormone balance in both women and men. I love Elmhurst 1925 Unsweetened Milked Walnuts
