Fertility Yogurt....As Good As Ice Cream!

Here is a yogurt combination which I came up with myself when I wanted a healthy sweet alternative to ice cream.  All of the ingredients either help fertility or substitute other harmful substances.  I'm totally hooked and even though I'm not trying to conceive now, I still eat it every day.

Here is my recipe:
  • 1/2-1cup Plain Unflavored, Unsweetened Yogurt (I use non-fat, but some sources claim that full-fat yogurt is better for female fertility - see the research here  )
  • 1/3 -1/2 cup frozen blueberries (organic is better since berries have been shown to hold higher amounts of pesticides) See the benefits of blueberries here
  • Liquid Stevia to taste (this is a sweetener which is a great alternative to sugar and other artificial sweeteners which some believe are dangerous)  Get the liquid stevia at your local healthfood store.  It should come with a dropper.  Put 1-2 squirts until it's sweet enough for you.  If you must add sugar, just sprinkle a little on the top, don't mix it in.  You will be able to taste it more this way and you'll use less.
  • Add about a tablespoon of raw walnuts and a tablespoon of raw almonds to the yogurt.Buy these at your local healthfood store in the refrigerated section.  This will preserve the natural oils.  Do not buy roasted walnuts or almonds - this destroys the oils.These nuts have essential fatty acids which help your body to produce the "good" prostaglandins and walnuts have additionally been shown to help women with PCOS.

Mix together and eat before the blueberries melt.  It tastes like ice cream!
