Fertility Smoothies 2.0: Smoothie Bowls!

Elizabeth Willett - M.A., Certified Herbalist
July 25, 2021
Reviewed by Christine Traxler, MD

Fertility Smoothies, whether in a glass jar or bowl, are a delicious way to eat a wide array of nutrients supportive of fertility health. They are an easy addition to any Fertility Diet!

Open any social media website and you’re very likely going to see images of these amazing looking bowls of blended fruit with colorful, fresh food toppings. These are called smoothie bowls.

 

‘Smoothie bowls are essentially more nutrient-dense smoothies, thick enough to eat with a spoon and often topped with fruits, nuts, seeds, muesli or granola,” explains McKel Hill, MS, RD, and creator of the plant-based, whole foods blog Nutrition Stripped. “Think of smoothie bowls as the new cereal — like cereal 2.0.’ shared with Sally Wadyka of the Food Network’s Healthy Living Blog

 

They are the “latest trend in purified food…” according to the Food Network. You may even see them on menus at juice bars, coffee shops, restaurants, and even pop-up stores specializing only in smoothie bowls. A quick search of the term smoothie bowl online led to at least 12,300,000 results in 0.44 seconds. Yes, that’s over 12 million links containing the words smoothie and bowl found in under one second. It’s safe to say they are very popular!

Pour any fertility smoothie into a bowl and top with more of the yummy ingredients you put in the smoothie or extras like nuts & seeds, homemade granola, fertility superfoods, etc.

Join The 10 Day Fertility Smoothie Challenge (or complete it again) as a way to get started today! Or try the smoothie bowl creations Hethir and I enjoy.

Hethir’s Acai Berry Bowl

Ingredients:

 

– 2 bananas
– 1 packet Acai (frozen)
– 1 – 2 dates
continued ➞
– berries of your choice
– coconut flakes
– homemade granola

 

Blend bananas, Acai and dates in a food processor with a little bit of liquid (1/4 -1/2 C or so) to get things moving. Top with berries, coconut flakes and homemade granola.

Liz’s Tropical Smoothie Bowl

Ingredients:

 

Oatmeal*:
– ½ C old-fashioned oats
– 1 tsp. Fertilica Maca Powder
– 1 C water
– Pinch of Himalayan
sea salt
Smoothie:
– 5 ounces full-fat plain
Greek yogurt
– ½ C frozen mango
– ¼ C fresh-squeezed
orange juice or coconut water
Toppings:
– ½ C chopped apple
– 1 whole peeled, diced
organic kiwi
– unsweetened coconut
– chia seed
– flax seed

 

Oatmeal: Bring water to a boil, add oats, Fertilica Maca Powder and salt, reduce heat and simmer until thickened, about 10-15 minutes (maybe less). Remove from heat and let cool while making the mango smoothie.
Smoothie: Blend ingredients until smooth.
Toppings: Combine in a bowl the cooked oats and ½ the cold mango smoothie, top with fruit and seeds or toppings of choice. Enjoy with the remaining mango smoothie in a mug. 😉

*You may be asking why did you add oatmeal?
Organic rolled oats contain lots of fiber, which is important for nutrient absorption, digestive health and estrogen metabolism, they are anti-inflammatory and have strong antioxidant activity. This is one way to jazz up boring old oatmeal, making them a great addition to this recipe.

Hethir’s Peach Superfood Smoothie Bowl

Ingredients:

 

– 1-2 whole peaches – pit removed (can be frozen)
– 1 C cherries – pit removed (frozen)
– 2 Tbsp hemp seeds
– 1 serving FertiliGreens
continued ➞
– chia seeds
– berries
– bee pollen
– a drizzle of honey

 

Blend peaches, cherries, hemp seeds and FertiliGreens in a food processor with a little bit of liquid (1/4 -1/2 C or so) to get things moving. Top with remaining ingredients. Enjoy!

There truly are no rules! You can use any ingredients you have on hand. It’s just that easy!

To make an impact on your health, you will need to first learn the actions and steps to take... then you will need to be consistent with those actions. It is the consistency that brings you the results. You are going to be human and not be perfect 100% of the time. Just accept that and get back to it. Consistency, day in and out, is more important than being perfect. You can't be 100% perfect for long, but you can be consistent every day.

If you’ve undergone many consecutive fertility treatments without a successful pregnancy, it could be time for a break. Taking a break gives your body a chance to cleanse, reset and recover. Relief from the side effects and stress could be exactly what you need for a fresh start for your fertility journey.

I knew what my life's calling was at a very young age. At around 16, I had a dream where a dreadlocked rasta man came to me (Burning Spears to be exact) and in that dream was told that I was to be a healer. It was the type of dream that was more real than reality. The next day I woke up feeling different than I had ever felt before. Later on that day, we had new neighbors move into the house above us and a woman came and introduced herself. When I opened the door, she said her name and told me she was opening up a school of healing and that I was to be one of her students. It was one of the most intense series of events in my life. I went on to go to her school and my path started with an amazing community and so much support. What are one of the most life changing experiences you have had? I would love to hear...

Stress can be one of the primary factors behind infertility. Believe it or not, our bodies are equipped to prevent conception from occurring during times of extreme stress. The presence of adrenaline, the hormone that is released by our bodies during stressful times, signals to our body that conditions are not ideal for conception. Adrenaline inhibits us from utilizing the hormone progesterone, which is essential for fertility. It also causes the pituitary gland to release higher levels of prolactin, which also causes infertility to occur.
