Chicken and Spinach Salad
PreconceptionAmericanEasyServes 230 min
Grilled chicken breast over baby spinach with tomatoes, avocado, and a vinaigrette.
This colorful, satisfying salad is built on a bed of spinach, which delivers a strong dose of folate—crucial for her early cellular development and his sperm quality. The addition of lean chicken provides steady protein for hormone building blocks, while avocado offers healthy fats to support regular ovulation. We've included pumpkin seeds for a crunch that’s rich in zinc, giving a specific boost to sperm formation and motility.
