Hi Victoria,

Thanks for the tip, you could cut the chocolate powder to 1T. rather than 2!

Best wishes,

Dalene

hmmm….I know it’s an old topic, but I was wondering about the amount of chocolate powder in this. I added it and it is REALLY chocolatey, I had to halve my smoothie and top the half up with water. Which is fine, my husband can have the other half. I’m hoping the maca is going to help my pcos.

Hi Hannah,

What about soaked raisins or prunes? You may also choose a little sweetener instead like stevia, honey or agave.

Thanks Dalene! I like how you can make variations of the smoothie just by adding whatever kinds of fertility ingredients into it.

Hi Veronica,

I don’t think any of the Fertility Smoothie Challenge Recipes include herbs for women’s fertility, but some women and some recipes on our sister sites may. Herbs not for men that you could put in smoothies would be Vitex, Dong Quai, Conceptions Tea, ect.

I hope this makes sense,

WOW! The chocolate oatmeal bliss was really fantastic! I only had whole hemp seeds available (not the hulled ones) so it was grainy, even with my vitamix. I gather that it would be smoother with the hulled seeds. I wasn’t sure about the water portion, started with 120ml (4oz) of water and it wasn’t enough. Added about 1/2 cup more, and it was thick but the ingredients finally moved. A little thick for my taste but if you like the “stuck in your throat” thickness, that amount of water may be fine. I also added frozen bananas so did not add ice cubes, and it was perfect coldness.

Thanks for the smoothies! Looking forward to completing them all.

Hi Dalene,

Thank you for the fertility smoothie challenge. I am on day 2 today.

I had a question. You stated above:

“Yes your husband can drink fertility smoothies including Maca, but he should not take herbs for women’s fertility.”

Which ingredient is the herbs for women’s fertility? My husband and I are both drinking this, but I can’t find the herb ingredient for women’s fertility.

Thanks in advance.

Dear Abby,

Great question. Hemp seeds are not a nut. Please read the package you are going to purchase to read to see if there are any allergy cautions.

Best Wishes,

Dalene

Hi Hethir,

I am just getting my ingredients together to start this challenge. Quick question – I have noticed that hemp seed is sometimes referred to as “hemp seed nut”. Is it a nut? I ask because I have a severe nut allergy and I don’t want to take it if it’s related to a nut in any way.

Thanks!
Abby

Hi Paula,

Yes that is the dark cocoa powder, not the milk chocolate. Yum!

Warmly,

Hi Baby4me,

Yes your husband can drink fertility smoothies including Maca, but he should not take herbs for women’s fertility.

All the best,
