Antega Canada · Recipes
Everyday meal ideas for anyone hoping to conceive, written for Canada.
Ingredients are shown in metric measures by default, and you can switch between metric and US cups and ounces on any recipe page. Each recipe includes allergen information, food-safety notes, storage guidance and approximate nutrition per portion.
These recipes are written for anyone hoping to conceive, including partners. General healthy-eating advice applies to both partners; talk to a doctor about any specific concerns.
If you are having fertility treatment, follow the food, drink and supplement advice given by your clinic — it takes priority over general guidance.
