I recently posted on my Instagram page that smoothies have been my go-to this pregnancy. Although I've been a huge smoothie drinker for a while now it was surprisingly also pretty much the only healthy thing I could stomach during those first very sick few weeks. Thankfully, I'm feeling a lot more relief now and if you're currently dealing with the nausea/vomiting/exhaustion I hope it goes away soon!
This recipe has been my fave! The gojiberries really give me long-lasting energy. I can never taste the spinach in this thing and the berries add enough tartness that it helped a lot. For me, sour, ginger, cold and spicy food gave me relief- go figure! If this doesn't help with the all-day sickness, it is sure to help with the exhaustion part :)
Recipe:
handful of spinach
1 cup organic soy milk
1 cup water
1 tbsp goji berries
1 cup frozen triple berries (raspberry, blueberry & blackberry. I get our frozen bags at Costco but I've seen them at Target too!)
1 cup frozen strawberries
I add a little bit of maple syrup or a riped banana for added sweetness! The banana also helps fight heartburn and cramping!
Sending all my get well vibes and preggo or not this smoothie is yum!
yum!! I'll have to forward this to my sister in law!!
