This New Green Goddess Smoothie Is Perfect For Expecting Mums. Here’s How You Can Make It

Looking for healthy smoothies for pregnancy? Here's the Green Goddess Smoothie that has become the latest fad, plus five more smoothie recipes you must try at home.

A healthy diet is essential for pregnant mums and we always emphasise bringing a rich mix of fruits, vegetables, proteins, fats, and more to the plate. But sometimes the most nutritious food options can also feel a tad bit boring.

The ideal diet may not look great and that can be a bit demotivating, especially when you are abstaining from some of the more indulgent food choices.

Nevertheless, the great thing about food is you can always mix it up and whip up something that’s both delicious and nutritious.

The latest fad to take note of is healthy smoothies for pregnancy. Fruit and vegetable smoothies are recommended by doctors and manage to offer a well-rounded diet focusing on providing the necessary vitamins and minerals.

It can be an entire meal plan on its own if you add the right ingredients keeping your blood sugar, digestion and energy levels in check.
