Mediterranean Mezze Plate
PreconceptionMediterraneanEasyServes 220 min
Hummus, cucumber slices, kalamata olives, hard-boiled eggs, and whole wheat pita wedges.
This simple, no-cook lunch is packed with fertility-friendly building blocks. The eggs and olive oil provide the healthy fats her body needs to support rising estrogen levels as a dominant follicle matures. Meanwhile, the chickpeas and tahini in the hummus deliver a great dose of zinc to support his testosterone and sperm production, while the fresh veggies offer antioxidants to protect both egg and sperm quality.
