We strongly believe that a smoothie is one of the best ways to get some of the important nutrients. For this reason we have designed a plan for you to make the most nutritious and delicious smoothies. In this section you can find a step-by-step guide on how to prepare your own smoothie and also some ready recipes to get you started. The smoothies can be part of a healthy breakfast or a healthy snack.

Fertility food: Making a smoothie from scratch in 4 simple steps

  1. Choose your base: Select the fruits and vegetables of your preference to create the base of your smoothie. Avocado, banana, berries, orange and spinach are some ingredients that will give a great taste and are also very nutritious.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.

Advice from Dr. Fatin Willendrup, ExSeed Head of Medical Affairs

“Your daily fertility smoothie is the perfect way to make sure you get an extra serving or two of the leafy greens and fresh fruits you need to boost your fertility! Greens like kale and spinach together with fertility friendly seeds provide crucial minerals, antioxidants and vitamins that are needed to produce healthy sperm cells”
