Fertility food: Making a smoothie from scratch in 4 simple steps
- Choose your base: Select the fruits and vegetables of your preference to create the base of your fertility smoothies. Avocado, banana, berries, orange and spinach are some ingredients that will give a great taste and are also very nutritious.
- Add the right liquid : This step is important to obtain proper flavor and density. Most of the times 1 cup (150-200 g) of liquid is enough. You can choose among low-fat milk, almond milk, orange juice or simply water.
- Thicken your smoothie: By choosing a “thickener” you get the right texture, creaminess and extra nutrients. Add some yogurt, nut butter, oats, flax or chia seeds.
- Boost the flavor: At this point you can add some extra flavor to your smoothie according to your preferences. You can choose between herbs and spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and vanilla extract or add some sweet elements like honey or natural sweeteners like stevia.
