The 10 day Fertility Smoothie Challenge

by Hethir Rodriguez, MH, CMT

Fertility Smoothies When it comes to boosting fertility and making the lifestyle changes that make a BIG difference it is the steps you take on a daily basis, every day, that make the biggest impact. This is how everyday decisions can add up to something amazing.

One of the most impactful steps you can take on your fertility path is to eat a healthy fertility diet. So to make this fun and help you reach your amazing goal of a healthy pregnancy and parenthood we have created the 10 Day Smoothie Challenge. This is how it is going to work…

I invite you to join us and participate by drinking a Fertility Smoothie everyday for 10 days during this challenge. I will be posting a new smoothie you can try for each of those 10 days so you are getting tons of variety and having a lot of fun.

The smoothies will incorporate fertility foods, superfoods, and nutrient dense yuminess. I love smoothies because they help me to get a ton of nutrition in a tasty, quick, easy to make way. I start everyday with a smoothie and find it sets the tone for healthy eating the rest of the day.

The 10 Day Fertility Smoothie Challenge will begin tomorrow on July 28th. To join us get your blenders ready and make sure to visit daily to get our fresh smoothie of the day recipe.

Shanie 07.27.09 at 11:37 AM: Hi Hethir,

I’m really excited about this smoothie challenge! Just wondering if you have a grocery list for us so we can go stock up on supplies.

Thanks, Shanie

Hethir Rodriguez 07.27.09 at 12:33 PM: Hi Erin,

Each day the smoothies will be different and have the recipe posted with all of the ingredients. I have posted a shopping list for the challenge so you can be prepared. It was added to the post above.

Evelyn,
Every morning there will be a new smoothie recipe. It will stay up once it is posted so you can access it at any time.

hadiza 07.29.09 at 12:53 AM: are peaches same with apples also what are hemp seeds, dry baby leaf spinach.More over what is a protein powder and oat meal.
Racheal Edem 07.29.09 at 3:11 AM: Can’t wait to be a part of the smoothie challenge
Hethir Rodriguez 07.29.09 at 6:24 AM: hemp seeds are nuts of the hemp seed. They can be purchased at a healthfood store or online. I will be covering more about them in an upcoming smoothie. Baby leaf spinach is fresh spinach leaves that are small. You can also get them at the grocery or healthfood store. Protein powder is a protein supplement you can add to smoothies to increase the protein content. Oatmeal is a grain that is popular here in USA that we eat for breakfast. I realize that you are in Africa and some of these foods are not available where you are. In there place you can substitute what is available in your region. You could use PawPaw (yum) in smoothies instead of peaches. Apples in place of other things. Grapes are fantastic in smoothies. Don’t feel that you are not able to make amazing smoothies with your offerings. I would love to hear what you come up with that is local for you. Please share!
Alea 07.29.09 at 6:05 PM: Hi! I would totally love to join you all but I haven’t got the ingredients yet for this and I may already be preggers(lets hope!) Can I still participate in this challenge but in a few more days? also where can I find maca besides on the internet. I want to start asap.
Hethir Rodriguez 07.30.09 at 6:29 AM: Yes, all of the recipes will stay up on the blog. You can begin your challenge at any time.
Hannah 08.18.09 at 9:03 PM: Hello: I was wondering which days of the cycle I should have these smoothies? Thanks!
Hethir Rodriguez 08.19.09 at 1:28 PM: You can have these smoothies all month long.
Tasha 08.27.09 at 12:01 PM: Are these smoothies ok if you are currently pregnant? Specifically, are Maca, Spirulina, Royal Jelly and Hemp Seends ok if you think you may be expecting? Thanks!
Hethir Rodriguez 08.28.09 at 6:10 AM: Yes all of those foods should be fine during pregnancy. Let your midwife or doctor know you are using them
Naimah 08.29.09 at 6:59 PM: I am going to begin the 10 day fertility smoothie challenge and would like to know if it is good for men to do. Is this specifically tailored to women, if so do you have a 10 day fertility smoothie challenge for men as my husband is interested in trying it?

Thank you!
Hethir Rodriguez 09.01.09 at 9:00 AM: Men can do the Fertility Smoothie Challenge with you. All the of the foods and superfoods are excellent for them too. Especially the Maca. Yay, how fun!
Suzy 10.27.09 at 4:03 AM: Hi Hethir,
I would like to share this good news with you…I am 4 weeks pregnant! Thank you for your wonderful smoothie recipes. My husband and I have tried baby making for 5 times without success, being desperate to have a baby, I decided to take up your 10-day fertility smoothie challenge…maca is a great fertility herb…it works for me!

Suzy
Hethir Rodriguez 10.27.09 at 12:52 PM: Congratulations Suzy! That is so wonderful. Blessings to you and your family.
K. Jones 01.08.10 at 9:54 AM: Hello, are these smoothies to be drank one time a day or for each of your three meals?
Dalene Barton, CH, Doula 01.11.10 at 6:35 AM: Hi K. Jones,

Fertility Smoothies should not replace all of your meals. They may be a substitute to breakfast or a snack. You should only consume them once day.

Enjoy!

dilini 01.19.10 at 3:00 AM: Hi Hethir,

It was wonderful to read all the comments. Thanks a lot. I haven’t started yet but hoping to do soon. Just a small querry… I am taking fertility treatments from a gyno and being given Menapour and Clomid etc at times. I am in early 40s. Tried 3 months now but no luck. Is it OK for me to start this while taking the said medicine.

Appreciate your reply. Just waiting for it.

Thanks once again!
Dalene Barton, CH, Doula 01.19.10 at 7:48 AM: Hi Dilini,

Please get the ok from your doctor to take Maca while on these fertility meds.

Thanks and Best Wishes,

Dalene
dilini 01.19.10 at 7:15 PM: Thanks for your prompt reply Dalene. Sure I will ask her. At the same time I will see this month if there is no luck I would like to start with your herbal treatments. My right f.tube is blocked she said after the scan. I hope I can start with Hethir’s adv isn’t it?

Also, what if I avoid Maca (which I couldn’t even find here in ME yet) and make smoothies with other ingredients. Will it help me to some extent?
I am sorry to bother you with more questions.

Regards,
Dalene Barton, CH, Doula 01.20.10 at 7:24 AM: Hi Dilini,

The other ingredients in the smoothies will help bridge the gap for proper nutrition, so yes they are still beneficial as diet impacts fertility greatly!

Have you read about Blocked Fallopian Tubes? We have found great success with the products Zymessence, Women’s Best Friend, Fertility Cleansing, Castor Oil Packs and Self Fertility Massage.

Best Wishes,

Dalene
Georgia 02.26.10 at 6:04 AM: I am a first timer to your website. I was reading your fertility smoothie which seem quite interesting. i would like to try those smoothies, but some of those fruits are not available in Jamaica, the Caribbean Island.

I am having a low hormones problem, which i am on a herbal supplement from a herbal Doctor. I am doing pretty much the same thing that are on your website.
The smoothie is first and very interesting to me.
Dalene Barton, CH, Doula 03.02.10 at 7:30 AM: Hi Georgia,

Any fruit in Jamaica that you think would be good blended up may be substituted for our fruits. Most of our smoothie recipes come from experimenting with what may taste good together. We didn’t choose certain fruits for their health benefits (those come naturally) they were chosen for taste. Please let us know fruits you like in your country!

Best Wishes,

Dalene
Georgia 03.05.10 at 8:42 AM: Hi Dalene

Thanks for your respond. The fruits that are available now are: Jamaican apple, naspberry, mangoes, star apples, watermelon, papaya, pineapple, grape, ripe banana, strawberry, tangerines, oranges, June plum, cherries, grapefruit.

What will these smoothies do to your body?
Georgia 03.05.10 at 8:46 AM: Hi Dalene

I must also let you know that the Herbal Doctor here, advise me to eat food according to my blood type.
Dalene Barton, CH, Doula 03.09.10 at 5:49 AM: Hi Georgia,

The smoothies are a great way to help you get a lot of the nutrients, fruits and sometimes veggies you need all in one meal. Depending on what you add to them, supplements such as Maca will also give you the added benefit of helping your body to work toward hormonal balance.

All of those fruits sound great in smoothies.

Warmly,

Dalene
Dalene Barton, CH, Doula 03.09.10 at 5:49 AM: Georgia,

Depending on what he advised for you, can you think of ways to be creative and add them to a smoothie? I bet you can!
