Do you have PCOS? If so, changing your diet is going to be one of the most important ways you can change your health. Many women with PCOS find that the most overwhelming aspect of changing their diet is the removal of sweets. If you are wondering if you are going to have to eliminate sweet foods from your life, fear not! We have a great way to help you adjust to your PCOS diet and still satisfy your craving for sweets.

Just because you are currently living with PCOS doesn’t mean you need to live without delicious, decadent foods. Our favorite way to curb that sweet tooth is to down a Fertility Smoothie, because not only does a fertility smoothie satisfy your craving for sweets, it also provides an astounding amount of nutrients. Unfortunately, most of the Fertility Smoothie recipes we provide our followers aren’t PCOS friendly. Many of the recipes contain a little too much natural sugar and carbohydrates for a woman with PCOS. Since insulin resistance plays a huge role in the development and continuation of PCOS, we really want PCOS sisters to avoid anything that is going to make the situation worse.

Women with PCOS that change their diet to a PCOS friendly one typically see dramatic improvements to their health – especially their reproductive health. That is why we bring you this guide to making your own super delicious, nutritious and PCOS friendly smoothies.

Tips and Tricks for Making PCOS Smoothies

1. Make sure to balance the amount of protein to fruits and carbohydrates in your smoothies. This is going to help you keep your blood sugar levels balanced. Avoiding an insulin spike is important!

2. Stevia is your sweet tooth savior. It has no calories and is 200 times sweeter than sugar. A little goes a long way, so experiment when using it and adjust the amount you add to your smoothie to your liking. Choose organic stevia when possible. It comes powdered or as a liquid extract. Many of the liquid extracts also come with flavors like orange, vanilla, cinnamon or chocolate.

3. To make your smoothie creamy and smooth in consistency, we highly recommend adding in a half of an avocado, whole-fat coconut milk, or a ¼ cup nuts or seeds that have been soaked overnight, or all three!

Two things are clear about phthalates and your fertility health: One, they are everywhere, and two, they are controversial! Particularly controversial is the link between phthalates and fibroids.
​
​Phthalates are a group of chemicals that are found in many everyday modern products. They’re found in floor and wall coverings, certain detergents, plastic food packaging, pharmaceuticals, lubricating oils, and personal care products like shampoos, soaps, hairspray, perfumes, and fragrant health products. Phthalates are even found in many of the plastic water bottles you might be drinking out of every day.
​
​If you are as concerned about these chemicals in our everyday lives as I am, see our Ditch & Switch Guide so you can start getting those chemicals out of your home. You can find it by clicking on our Bio.
