Trent Arsenault’s Fertility Smoothie Recipe

(ABC News)
Women and couples wanting to conceive have increasingly turned to the growing online world of free sperm donation. Trent Arsenault, a 36-year old computer engineer, has been donating his sperm since 2006 and says he has fathered 14 children, including a set of twins. He posts pictures of himself and his offspring on his website.
To insure that Arsenault gives his recipients the healthiest and most potent product, he has a strict physical regimen and a diet that includes organic foods and his homemade “fertility smoothie” twice a day.
“It has all kinds of ingredients,” he said. “Lots of anti-oxidants, amino acids, fructose …. which I think all play a part in improving sperm count and fertility and hopefully making healthy babies.” Whether it helps or not, Arsenault, who is not a medical professional, claims to have had his sperm count tested and that it is “approximately four times higher than the average man.”
Here is the recipe:
Fertility Smoothie
- Blueberries, organic (4.4 oz)
- Banana, organic (1 medium-size, peeled)
- Pineapple, fresh (one-tenth of a pineapple)
- Cherries, frozen or fresh (5 medium-size)
- Flax seed, organic, ground in coffee grinder (2 tbsp) or flax oil, organic (1 tsp)
- Almond milk, organic (3/4 cup)

- Vanilla bean powder, raw, organic (1/4 tsp)
- Kiwi, peeled, organic (1 medium-size)
- Cinnamon, raw, organic, ground (pinch)
Instructions: Blend for about 20 seconds in a regular blender. Fruits can be substituted when in season or locally available , such as blueberries with raspberries, strawberries, blackberries, etc. Drink twice daily: once in the morning, before exercise, and once in the evening. Eat one hour before donating sperm to provide hydration and fructose for seminal fluid.

I was thoroughly repulsed by this article, I was watching this show with my 9 year old daughter and turned it off in the middle when it began detailing a couple that wanted to get pregnant pulling up in the driveway as this guy is masterbating to put his “donation” in a sterile cup. Are you kidding me?

Because everything on the internet and on television must be suitable to be seen by a child. When you are watching the NEWS, you need to use your own discretion as to if you should be watching something while your child is in the room with you. There’s this awesome concept called parenting, just saying.
