    Pregnancy Smoothies You Should Be Drinking

    by Elizabeth MacDonald August 31, 2022

    Smoothies are an easy way to pack in the nutrients during and after pregnancy. But during pregnancy, your body is in need of extra vitamins and minerals that you may not be getting enough of. Blending up some beautiful produce each day can ensure that you are getting everything you need, help to fight your fatigue, lessen swelling, and even prepare your body for labor.

    Pull out your blender and start buying your produce in bulk because you’re about to fall in love with these delicious smoothie recipes.

    Antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, fiber, protein, electrolytes, and healthy fats are all important to consume while pregnant. Making a smoothie at home means you skip the added sugars that most ‘healthy fast food’ stops include, and you keep it simply delicious.

    A few ingredients you may want to add into your smoothies:

    Ginger: Ginger is a is a great anti-nausea and anti-inflammatory spice and provides antioxidants.

    Dark Green Leafy Vegetables: The darker and leafier, the better!

    Nuts + Seeds: Adding nuts and seeds to your smoothies is a great way to get protein, fiber, and omega-3 fatty acids. Flax seeds and hemp seeds are some of the most nutritious seeds for your pregnancy smoothies.

    Dates: Dates have been proven as an effective fruit to prepare the body for labor- shortening the average labor by hours if the woman consumes multiple dates a day throughout the last month of pregnancy.
