Smoothies are my FAVORITE thing when I'm pregnant and when I'm not. In fact, they make a GREAT food when you're breastfeeding!
Another great thing about smoothies is that they pack in nutrients and calories and they also fill you up.
Children LOVE smoothies, too.
Here are some WONDERFUL smoothie ideas. I am the smoothie queen and people ask me all the time what I put in them, so here are a few that I make often:
MANGO (my favorite and the easiest)
- Frozen Mangos (or strawberries)
- Ripe Banana (1 or 2)
- Agave (optional)
Mix in a blend until smooth. It should be REALLY creamy
tip: leave out the agave if you are giving it to your kids.
BERRY
- Frozen Mixed Berries
- Fresh Cantalope
- Ripe Bananas
- Flax Oil
- Agave (optional)
Add to a blender and mix until fully smoothe.
tip: freeze in popsicle sticks and give to kids during the summer days. It's a nutrition treat.
