Smoothies are increasingly popular and easy to find already prepared. The problem is, if you are working on your fertility, then you may want a smoothie designed for that purpose. You could go to a smoothie chain or health food store, but unless you know exactly what is in it and what you need it can still be difficult. Instead, consider making specific and easy smoothies at home that are bursting with nutrients for fertility.
Citrus and Banana Smoothie
Oranges, clementines, grapes, and bananas make an ideal smoothie for fertility assistance. This smoothie includes folic acid, superfoods, and has a jolt of vitamin C. You also get potassium and some protein. You can boost the healthy value of this smoothie by adding Greek yogurt to give it some thickness. Remember, you can keep this vegan by using a nut based Greek yogurt as well.
Green Smoothie
An all green lunchtime smoothie is an awesome way to get the nutrients you need in one packed smoothie. For example, you can add kale as well as spinach, green tomato, and other leafy greens. To take away the flavor of a harsh green, consider adding some vegetables like carrots or even a splash of fruit from oranges or apples. This will give you what you need and make sure you get all the vegetables you need in a day as well. Keep in mind, vegetable intake is an issue for some people and this would be a great way to jump that hurdle and get what you need.
Banana, Mango, and Vanilla Smoothie
Bananas are packed with potassium and folic acid. Mangos have a multitude of vitamins and nutrients. Combine these two fruits together and create a very smooth very hearty smoothie that can give you that tropical punch in the morning. You can dress up this smoothie or change it up a bit by adding vanilla powder. Give it an extra spicy kick that will get your system moving by adding some ground ginger.
Cinnamon, Mango, and Peach Smoothie
Mango and peaches are great options for vitamins and minerals from a solid fruit source. If you are in the southern United States you may be able to find both of the fruits year round. To give you an immune packed smoothie with blood sugar control benefits, add cinnamon. You can use fresh ground cinnamon from the stick or cinnamon powder. Make sure that the powder is organic.
Mixed Berry and Greens
If you want to get in all your fruit and your greens in one go while making sure you are reaping all the benefits of folic acid and iron alongside vitamins then go for a mixed berry and greens smoothie. This smoothie usually contains several types of berries like blackberries and strawberries alongside greens like kale and spinach.
You can take these five smoothie recipes and revolve them out or find the ones that taste best to you. As long as you are getting at least one of these a day, you will be helping your fertility and moving towards your goals.
