Glowing Pregnancy Smoothie
This glowing pregnancy smoothie is loaded with fresh fruit, fiber, protein and healthy fats. It's perfect as part of breakfast, as a snack or a mid-day pick me up. It is gluten free, dairy free, refined sugar free, paleo and can be made vegan.
Ingredients
- 1 large handful of fresh spinach
- 6" piece of fresh cucumber peeled & sliced into rounds
- ¼ cup fresh mint leaves
- 2" knob of fresh ginger peeled & chopped
- 1 ½ tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 scoop Raspberry Lemonade Magnesium Powder
- 2 scoops collagen peptides optional, omit for vegan, see notes
- 1 ½ cups fresh or frozen mango see notes
- ¾ cup coconut water see notes
- ½ cup non-dairy milk see notes
- 1 handful of ice cubes see notes
Instructions
Smoothie
- Add all of the ingredients into a high-speed blender pitcher. *Add the spinach in first and liquids in last!*
- Blend on high for 30 seconds to 1 minute until smooth and creamy throughout.
- You may need to scrape down the sides a few times depending on the strength of your blender.
- Pour it into a cup and pair it with your favorite straw. You can alternatively just guzzle it down ;) yum!
Smoothie Bowl
- I like to simply add a handful of ice and use less liquid. I'll generally use half the amount of coconut water and non-dairy milk.
- If you end up using frozen mango instead of fresh mango, you will most likely not need to use ice at all.
- Top off with your favorite toppings like: coconut flakes, granola, chia seeds, and bee pollen.
Notes
- If you would like the smoothie thicker and chunkier, use frozen mango or add a large handful of ice.
- If you are making a smoothie bowl, use half of the amount of both coconut water and milk. Also, be sure to use frozen mango or ice cubes as well.
- If you omit the collagen peptides, then the protein amount per serving will be closer to 10g.
