Male Fertility Superfood Smoothie- A drink to to boost sperm count, quality, morphology, vitality, motility, testosterone, and libido!Many of my readers have really supportive partners who are joining them in eliminating toxins, eating a clean-whole foods diet, and implementing self-care through a mind-body fertility practice.

This is great! Some of my readers have said- hey, but what should my man put in his smoothie? I want his sperm count, morphology, vitality, motility, etc., to be as good as it can be!

Well, I’m glad you asked.

Because, not only have I concocted a perfect fertility smoothie for my poor darling husband, we even saw his sperm count and quality jump in the month he started drinking it!

AND, I’ve had multiple women in my facebook groups report their partner’s sperm counts have jumped after starting this smoothie!

Check out my post on male fertility here, and how we boosted sperm health here!

Now, for the record, he has always had excellent numbers, and the doctors have always been excessively clear that our fertility difficulties come from me, and me alone (yeah, thanks doc, I got it).

At the same time there’s no reason not to maximize the quantity and quality of his little swimmers, so when we are trying to conceive, he gives up alcohol, caffeine, and eats a clean, whole-foods, diet, just like me. AND, he drinks his daily green smoothie, which brings me too . .

Male Fertility Smoothie Ingredients for Boosting Sperm Count and Quality

Fruit

Gentlemen, I have good news.  Very good news. And that is, while in the female fertility smoothie it is very important to keep your sugars low and therefore bananas are strictly forbidden, YOU are encouraged to put bananas in! Bananas are filled with bromelain and Vitamin B which can increase sperm counts.  Blueberries are another fantastic option, as they are packed with antioxidants which prevent oxidative damage to the sperm.

Now, you can even put in other sweet, high-sugar fruits, if desired, in your smoothie.  Lucky you!!!  Now, don’t go crazy and start adding in honey or anything, you don’t want to overwhelm yourself with sugar.  

A healthy male fertility diet still includes avoiding sweets, sugar, white bread, white rice, and starchy veggies.  BUT, I’ve never seen any research suggesting that sperm quality can be affected by small insulin surges, as egg quality can.  

So don’t be afraid of fruits, gentlemen. Now, if you are overweight or struggling with an auto-immune disorder, or other chronic health condition, you may want to watch your overall sugars, even from fruit.

Greens

Add some greens to your smoothies, gentlemen! You’ll do better throwing in some lettuce, or lightly blanched spinach or kale. But, honestly, my husband has never developed the palate to be able to do this.  If you are able- do it! It is good to get the extra greens.  

If you aren’t able- don’t worry about it.  My hubby substitutes in a green superfood powder to make sure he’s getting his extra greens and antioxidants. We do Amazon Subscribe and Save and it arrives every month!

If you do decide you can handle some actual veggies in your smoothie, don’t put raw kale or spinach in your smoothie every day. These greens, and other raw veggies are difficult to digest and are high in gut-irritating oxalic acid. Also, be sure to rotate your greens to avoid “alkaloid buildup” which can harm your thyroid.

Protein

My husband uses his smoothie as a meal replacement since it is so high in calories. He makes sure to always add protein.  The type of protein you use is very dependent on your personal health and desires.  

We use grass-fed collagen peptides, as there are studies showing collagen helping with bone health, weight loss, diabetes, circadian rhythms, improve mood, boost your arterial health, make your skin and hair look great, and improve gut health. (Don’t forget to take an awesome probiotic to help with gut health also).

We actually do our own daily bone broth ALSO for these benefits.

There are no organic free range collagen peptides available on the market.

After the scandals with heavy metals in many of the collagen peptide lines, there is now only one collagen peptide brand I use and recommend- Perfect Supplement’s Hydrolyzed Collagen. Their shared current labs with me and they test for heavy metals and pesticides. They were also the only collagen company to share labs with blogger Leah Segedie after she reached out to ALL OF THEM.

They also have the only Organic Bone Broth Protein powder that I am aware of that has no other fillers (plus it is tested for heavy metals and pesticides). This is another great option.

The collagen protein we use

If you are vegetarian or vegan, look for a quality veg-based protein, and try to stay away from soy. Also watch out for pea protein, which is linked to infertility. You also need to avoid heavy metal contamination from processing.

I have finally found a plant-based protein solution- Zego Foods makes a pure, organic plant protein made from Sacha Inchi Seeds, and nothing else. AND, Sacha Inchi seeds are linked to boosting fertility. AND they test every batch for glyphosate, other pesticides, heavy metals, and allergens. BOOM. Problem solved. Phew! —>Grab the this super pure plant protein now and use the code mommy20 for 20% off your first order!

Liquid

Generally, the smoothie will be the yummiest with your choice of milk.  My husband used to use skim milk (gross, in my opinion), but now uses unsweetened cashew milk.  You could also use a milk alternative like almond milk, coconut milk, or other if you are avoiding dairy. If you are super hardcore you could use water or something cool like chaga mushroom tea (you hipster, you). (2019 Update- I’m literally steeping Chaga tea right now as I update this post).

Male Fertility Superfoods

Here’s the good stuff!  This is the real reason to do a male fertility smoothie, to make sure you are packing in the superfoods! Please know that nuts and seeds can carry a great amount of pesticide residue which is very bad for fertility. Be sure to BUY ORGANIC! We buy in bulk from our local organic shop.  I’ve found organic options for you on Amazon, if you don’t have a local option!

Walnuts

Walnuts are a fertility superfood for men and women alike! They are chock-full of Omega-3 fatty acids which are important for overall health and sperm well-being. If that wasn’t enough, there is actual research that shows that 75 g a day (about 2 handfuls) for 12 weeks reduces chromosomal abnormalities, and improves sperm quality, motility, vitality and morphology.

Pumpkin Seeds

Pumpkin seeds are also loaded with Omega-3 fatty acids, and have a large dose of zinc which increases sperm count and testosterone. There are known as a great libido booster as well!

pumpkin seeds are great for male fertility and sperm health!

Brazil nuts

Brazil nuts are packed with selenium and have L-Arginine in them- they basically boost testosterone and increase blood flow to the, ahem, testes.  They are also reported to increase sperm count and quality.  Have at least 2 a day in your smoothie or just eat them- but don’t have more than 4-6 a day, you CAN actually overdose on selenium!

Brazil Nuts are great for male fertility and female fertility

Cocoa powder

Raw cocoa has plenty of the amino acid L-Arginine which increases sperm production and quality.  Also, it makes your smoothies into chocolate yumminess.

Cocoa powder is a male fertility superfood

Goji berries

Goji berries are rich in antioxidants that prevent oxidative cellular damage to sperm (and eggs).  Don’t overdo them- they are sugar and calorie intensive! But, if you aren’t doing an antioxident green powder, be sure to add in some gojis!

Goji berries for male fertility- a superfood for sperm quantity and quality

Acai

As an antioxidant, Acai is a great boost for male (and female!) fertility! Antioxidants help prevent oxidative damage to the cells, which then boosts the health of the sperm. The best part about Acai is there are great, clean, organic acai powders available, so you can choose this over the sugar intense goji berries if you prefer!

Maca 

Maca has been something of a sensation in the fertility world since it became available in health food stores! It is a powerful hormone balancer and some research shows it increases sperm count, volume, and motility. It is also thought to give you an added energy boost and up your libido.  Be sure to buy the gelatinized version which is much easier on the gut.

A note on taste–

Be warned, when I told my husband I was going to post this, he said, “What if everyone thinks its gross?”  I reminded him, I shared my Ultimate Fertility Smoothie (for females) and I didn’t care that most people would think it was gross.

I didn’t make it to taste good- I made it to work! And work it did!  

The same with his smoothie.  If you don’t like the taste however, try cutting out veggies and adding a little more fruit. My husband is one tough cookie only adding a banana. Add some mango, yummy blueberries, strawberries, or your favorite fruit. You can also play with removing seeds or nuts and eating those instead as a snack. If you are totally desperate, you can add a little honey, agave, or stevia, but please don’t go crazy with them! You already have a banana for goodness sakes!

      Yes, it helped improve his motility and mobility and we conceived. He drank this as a meal replacement (instead of breakfast) and he stuck to a pretty serious diet otherwise (low carb, high protein, lots of leafy greens and healthy fats, salad for dinner, etc.). He’s also on the low-end of healthy BMI and exercises a lot (I know, I’m lucky) so he didn’t have to worry about calories. If you are worried about calories I’d swap the banana for berries and snack on the nuts later instead of including them in the smoothie. It won’t taste as good without the banana though! I personally avoided bananas and other high-calorie high-sugar fruits while trying to conceive!

    Hi Anna, I have read in some places that protein shakes can be highly harmful for sperm production. Possibly it is because they add some kind of anabolic substance. Therefore I am not sure that it is advisable to take them. Those of grass collagen peptides may be safe, but is it worth the risk? Thanks.

      HI Miguel!

      A simple grass-fed collagen peptides is going to be okay. I think what you’re talking about is like body-builder style excessive protein, right? Just don’t overdo the dosage- you could even cut the protein out of the smoothie if you are worried! Especially if you are getting plenty of protein otherwise in your diet!

    Hi Anna,
    I´ve read that you don´t eat dairy but your husband does. However, I understood that the reason why you don´t eat/drink dairy is your lactose intolerance but mainly the toxicity of plastic, etc that these products contain, so I was very surprised to read that your husband eats yogurt. Can I advise my husband to eat full fat yogurt then? I keep reading that one portion of full fat yogurt is very good but I was happy to go dairy free after reading your post about dairy and fertility. However, I would really like to know if he could have some yogurt as that would make a big difference to him.

    Thank you for all the information!
