Benefits of pregnancy smoothies
There are many benefits to drinking smoothies made with foods high in vitamins and minerals recommended during pregnancy.
Many people prefer to get these nutrients into their diets through blending and drinking these foods. This can help ensure you’re getting enough nutrition, even when you’re too tired to prepare a full meal.
Pregnancy smoothie meal prep tips
These smoothies can also be prepared ahead of time and store in the refrigerator for up to three days as part of pregnancy meal prep.
- I like to prepare several of these smoothies and store them in the refrigerator.
- Instead of combining a lot of different foods together into one smoothie, I’ve opted to provide several smoothies with just a few ingredients. This way you won’t get overwhelmed with flavor. For example, instead of making a smoothie with all the recommended foods for pregnancy, I’ve chosen just 2-4 ingredients per smoothie.
- I recommend making several types of smoothies and enjoying several per day if you don’t like overwhelming flavors.
Tips for enjoying pregnancy smoothies
- I like to enjoy these smoothies first thing in the morning to help with morning sickness. Green smoothies are great for this because they are packed with alkalizing foods which, in my opinion, have helped with morning sickness.
- I often drink a green smoothie before eating anything else. Then, have a hearty breakfast with a hot beverage. Later in the morning I’ll have another smoothie as a snack.
- Then, later in the day, between lunch and dinner, I’ll enjoy another smoothie.
- For dessert, I’ll sometimes enjoy a sweet date smoothie with bananas and cinnamon.
