How Does This Smoothie Help Fertility & Implantation?
This cleansing blueberry smoothie for men and women helps fertility in various different ways.
The key aspect of this smoothie is the carefully selected combination of ingredients that not only taste good together but are also so beneficial to you.
Here’s an overview:
- It’s Rich in Antioxidants: Blueberries and oranges are high in antioxidants, which can protect reproductive cells from oxidative stress.
- High in Vitamin C: Essential for sperm quality in men and general fertility health in women.
- Contains Vitamin E: Found in almond butter and avocado, supports hormone balance and sperm health.
- Folate Source: Spinach is a good source of folate, crucial for fetal development and sperm viability.
- Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Almond butter includes healthy fats, beneficial for fertility by improving hormone function.
- Rich in Iron: Spinach’s iron content is key for ovulation and egg health.
- Dietary Fiber: Helps balance blood sugar levels, linked with improved fertility outcomes.
- Vitamin K: Found in spinach and avocado, important for healthy blood clotting and potentially beneficial for menstrual health.
- Magnesium: Present in almond butter and spinach, supports reproductive health by regulating hormone levels.
- Calcium and Vitamin D: Fortified oat milk can support bone health and reproductive function.
When To Drink Fertility Smoothie
There isn’t necessarily an ideal time to drink this smoothie.
My friend and her partner who were trying for a baby at a time, consumed the smoothie along with their breakfast, for 3 days in a row.
She did this for 3 weeks. I recommend that you pick a time that works for you.
Optional Ingredient Swaps, Variation & Notes:
The ingredients I selected to make this smoothie all contain benefits that help fertility and pregnancy.
But, that doesn’t mean you have to strictly use these specific ingredients.
You can swap a couple and make some changes, without impacting the smoothie’s benefits.
Here are some suggestions:
- Swap The Spinach: You can use kale or other leafy greens instead of spinach. Also, try frozen leafy greens, they can make the texture of the smoothie a lot thicker.
- Substitute the Nut Butter: If you are nut-free, or simply don’t have almond butter, you can use cashew butter instead, or sun butter for a nut-free recipe.
- Fruit Swap: You can substitute the orange for kiwi instead. Kiwi actually contains more Vitamin C than orange. Alternatively, you can use grapefruit.
- Base Swap: You can change the liquid of the smoothie to coconut milk, soy milk, or even coconut water.
Smoothie Tips:
- Add Soft Ingredients First: The spinach, almond butter, and orange should go to your blender first, which allows for your blender to work through the ingredients more easily as it blends.
- Do Not Overblend: Do not start the blending process and walk away, because you will forget about it. The more you blend, the more air you put into the smoothie, which may cause your smoothie to be foamy.
- Drink The Smoothie As Soon As It’s Blended: Since the smoothie contains frozen fruit, it doesn’t store very well. As the frozen fruit warms up, the texture and taste of the smoothie will be impacted.
