High Energy Pregnancy Smoothie
This smoothie is full of natural sugars and healthy fats from the fruit and avocado which could make you feel less tired.
The spinach adds iron, folate and vitamins, while protein comes in the form of Greek yogurt. You’ll also get a fiber boost from the berries and apple. Orange juice helps the iron to be absorbed better.
As per USDA recommendations, it is important to avoid added sugars during pregnancy as much as possible, therefore don’t use store-bought orange juice for this smoothie.
Extract your own from fresh oranges if you have a juicer or better yet, a blender-juicer combo.
It’s very filling so you probably won’t want to slurp it in one go!
Ingredients:
- ½ cup frozen berries
- ½ cup frozen spinach
- ½ small apple
- ½ avocado
- ½ cup Greek yogurt
- 4 oz coconut milk
- 4 oz orange juice (freshly squeezed)
Directions:
