Heart-Healthy Recipes for Your Heart’s Desire
On Valentine’s Day, we typically lavish our loved ones with gifts and affection. What better way to show your partner how much you care than by serving heart-healthy vegan recipes that will keep him or her feeling youthful and, um, energized all day long? The following recipes contain ingredients that are good for your heart, such as avocado, olive oil, nuts, berries, spinach, soy, sweet potatoes, bell peppers, asparagus, tomatoes, and dark chocolate. What’s even better is that some of these ingredients are also libido-enhancing! (Please note that many of these recipes yield more than two servings, so you may have some tasty leftovers on your hands.) This Valentine’s Day, charm your lover with a sensual, heart-healthy meal that will please your palates and invigorate your bodies.
