Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain, full-fat milk preferred)
- ½ cup orange juice
- ½ cup frozen mango cubes
- ½ cup frozen wild blueberries
- 2 tablespoons hemp seeds
- Optional: 1 tablespoon maple syrup, 1/4 cup kale or spinach, 1 scoop protein powder
Instructions
- Add the ingredients to the blender.
- Blend smooth, starting on low and working up to high. (Use the stick that came with the blender or stop and start as needed if the mixture needs any encouragement to blend up.)
- Taste and add a little maple syrup for sweetness if needed
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- This is best consumed right away, but you can store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. It will become thinner consistency-wise, but just shake it up and enjoy.
- To add more protein to your Pregnancy Smoothie, add a scoop of protein powder or 1-2 tablespoons nut or seed butter like peanut butter, almond butter, sunflower seed butter, or cashew butter.
- Use kefir in place of the yogurt for probiotics.
- Add additional hemp or flax seeds or fish oil for additional fats.
