Call us hypocrites, but that PETA ad got us thinking: we SHOULD be eating more fruits and vegetables this year. We’re stationed in San Diego, which makes it crazy easy to live on burritos, beachside burgers, and craft beers, but a diet like that isn’t great for your heart, brain, or let’s face it – BELLY.

We thought we’d take this Monday (nature’s weekly RESTART BUTTON) to share some tasty fruits and veggies that will seriously amp up your sex life while helping you slim down (which is our May theme) before summer!

So cross “microwavable frozen dinosaur-shaped chicken nuggets” off your grocery list and add these healthy alternatives!

Avocados

Grubbing on these tasty green fruits is an easy way to boost your sex life – they contain high levels of folic acid, which helps metabolize proteins to give you more energy in the sack. Avocados are delicious on sandwiches, salads, as guacamole, or plain with a spoon and some salt! Check out this recipe for a tasty southwestern style salad and then get ready for some boot-knockin!

Celery

This almost calorie-free vegetable is often ignored because it has a very subtle flavor. Guys should add it to their diets though, because it contains androsterone, a hormone men release in their sweat that may turn on the ladies! We know it can be bland by itself, so try it with one of these additions for a mid-day snack!

Garlic

Garlic breath is NEVER a turn on. However, if you add it to a meal (and then hit up the mouthwash HARD) you’ll be getting a dose of allicin, a chemical that helps blood flow to sexual organs, like nature’s Viagra! Have some roasted garlic with bread, cheese and wine, and you’ll have the ultimate date dinner that will lead to ultimate date sex!

Figs

The last time you ate a fig was probably in a Fig Newton as a kid, but they’re actually a beautiful, delicious fruit that are high in amino acids and are believed to increase libido. If you can get ahold of them fresh, try this delicious recipe for a fig, gorgonzola, and honey tartine. It’ll wipe the thought of Fig Newtons from your brain forever.

Bananas

Yeah, yeah, bananas look like penises. But did you know they can actually be your manhood’s best friend, too? They contain the bromelain enzyme, which may boost the libido and even reverse impotence! If you’re like me, though, you’re not down with the mushy, odd-flavor of plain ‘nanners, so instead, freeze them in chunks and use them in a delicious peanut butter banana smoothie. YUM!

What kinds of veggies and fruits get YOU in the mood? Let us know in the comments!
