A daily smoothie during pregnancy can be a wonderful way to satiate increased hunger, cravings and help balance blood sugar levels. Smoothies can also be particularly beneficial for new mamas with limited time and energy to prepare meals, whilst giving them a nutrient-dense and convenient option to support a balanced diet and healthy recovery. Balanced with key nutrients, healthy fats, protein, carbohydrates, and packed with flavour, this recipe ticks all the boxes.
