Energizing Snacks for Fertility

Do you get in a snack-rut? Do you get bored of eating the same things, or do you go too long between meals because either nothing sounds good or because you simply forget to eat? Are you getting worn down – physically and/or emotionally? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then it’s time to explore some energizing snacks for fertility.

When you’re feeling run down, stressed or simply want to boost your health, the best thing you can do for yourself is keep your tank on full. Running on empty will only further deplete you. This means not going more than 3-4 hours without a nourishing snack or meal.

I talk a lot about eating enough and fueling frequently (fertility is NOT the time for intermittent fasting).

Here’s why: your body needs consistency. It needs to trust that there is steady fuel coming in, so it’s safe to reproduce 🤰🤰🏾🤰🏻⁠.

That’s where frequent fueling and nourishing, energizing snacks come in. For your fertility, your goal is to nourish yourself every 3-4 waking hours. This will keep you feeling good and keep your body feeling ready to make a baby.

The Key to Energizing Snacks for Fertility

The key to an energizing snack or meal is FFP: Fat, Fiber & Protein. This combination of macronutrients ensures a snack will fill you up, give you energy and keep you feeling full for longer.

There are so many ways to combine fat, fiber and protein to create energy dense snacks.

For example:

• Grabbing an apple (fiber)? Add almond (almonds) + protein (turkey jerky)
• Oatmeal (fiber) for breakfast? Add fat (flax & chia seeds) + protein (scoop of collagen or egg on the side).
