This delicious treat, Chilli Chocolate Smoothie, is packed full of libido-boosting foods like almonds, bananas and the superfood powder maca. It’s also a rich source of vitamins and minerals, helping to boost energy levels and vitality.

It’s so easy to add lots of nutritious ingredients into these smoothies. So long as you follow the golden rules of going with either a fruity-juicy combo or a creamy-oaty combo, you can’t go far wrong.

For the fruity ones, go with apples, oranges, pears and berries. Use herbal tea or a fruit presse mixed with water for the liquid part.

For the creamy ones, try banana, chocolate, oats and nuts. Use milk for the liquid part – regular milk, or nut milks work great!

Ingredients such a chia seeds, maca powder, wheatgrass powder and flaxseed can be added to both types.

Try it for breakfast – it definately wakes up those tastebuds!
