3 Fertility-Friendly Smoothies | Fertility Naturopath
Here are some of my favourite smoothie recipes.
Remember, not to make any nutritional changes without a discussion with your clinician.
Raspberry Cauliflower Almond
Yes, adding cauliflower to smoothies is SUPER delivious. I have run
smoothie challenges in the past and this item is such a hit because it hides
so well in smoothies. Cauliflower is a member of the brassica family
meaning it is high in indole-3-carbinol (I3C). I3C is converted to
diindolylmethane (DIM) in vivo and is very impactful for hormone balancing.
Ingredients:
1/4 cup raspberries
1/4 cup frozen cauliflower
1 scoop vanilla protein powder or your choice
1 Tablespoon almond butter
1 cup unsweetened dairy-free milk of your choice
1 dash pure almond extract
1 teaspoon flax seed
Method:
Blend, pour & enjoy!
Chocolate Frosty
Yes, I am definitely trying to replicate the fast-food version - and I think I’ve
done a pretty good job. Raw cocoa powder is high in magnesium, which
benefits female hormones, reduces stress, relaxes muscles, and reduces
sugar cravings.
Ingredients:
1/4 cup frozen cauliflower
1/4 avocado
2 teaspoons raw cocoa powder
1 scoop vanilla protein powder of your choice
1 cup unsweetened dairy-free milk of your choice
1 teaspoon flax seed
Method:
Blend, pour & enjoy!
Blueberry Beauty
I wanted to kick it up a notch with this smoothie and really incorporate a
lot of ingredients we’ve used throughout the week. Blueberries are
antioxidant heavy and help with many avenues of health beyond hormones.
Ingredients:
1/4 cup frozen blueberries
1/4 cup frozen cauliflower
1 handful raw spinach
1 Tablespoon almond butter
1 scoop vanilla protein powder of your choice
1 cup unsweetened dairy-free milk of your choice
1 teaspoon flax seed
Method:
Blend, pour & enjoy!
