Pregnancy smoothies! You may already know how much I love to recommend smoothies for fertility, but why not continue this healthy habit into pregnancy? Pregnancy smoothies are an easy and tasty way to get many nutrients and foods into your body, daily. During pregnancy your nutritional requirements increase… you need to eat more protein, get those greens in daily (which may seem impossible if you have morning sickness), eat more antioxidant rich foods, and don’t forget your EFAs! Who knew eating for two would be so complicated?
Smoothies to the rescue. I am sharing with you three smoothie recipes that are perfect for pregnancy. Use these as inspiration to make your own custom smoothies. These smoothies provide around 26 – 30 grams of protein per smoothie.
