What’s the best breakfast to eat when trying to conceive?
Nowadays the internet is jam-packed with recipes… (Excuse the pun)!
But which ones are good for fertility when you are trying to conceive?
When we first wake, our body thrives on raw food, which is why I’m an advocate of lemon water (to activate the digestive system) then a smoothie.
However, sometimes it is nice to consume something warmer in the winter – like porridge or something cooked.
Read below for your guide to eat yourself fertile with these breakfast options

I personally recommend:

Qnola – http://www.qnola.co.uk/store/
Remember – you need protein for fertility
Getting the right balance of protein, greens and fibre will make a huge difference to your fertility.
Like a fry-up?
Enjoy it on a bed of organic spinach – raw or cooked, topped with two eggs (fried in raw, virgin, organic coconut oil from a jar) and sprinkled with tamari baked pumpkin seeds (available from health food stores, by ClearSpring). Drizzle your dish with Greek organic virgin cold pressed olive oil and sea-salt or celtic salt or herbamare for extra flavour.
Fertility Breakfast for Men
Add a glass of tomato juice (organic, room temp) because the lycopene in tomatoes works wonders to improve sperm health.
