 I don't know about you, but when I'm pregnant I could live off of ice cream. While half a cup of full fat natural ice cream is a fine nightly treat, it's not the best idea for breakfast, lunch, and dinner (if only!). My way around that? Smoothies! This is my favorite protein packed smoothie that I enjoy during... and between... my pregnancies! Green Protein Smoothie Green smoothies are packed with nutrients, and if you include Greek yogurt, with protein too. The recipes are very forgiving and you can add all kinds of stuff to change up the flavors. Protein: 15g.
You'll need: 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, plain, look for 23g protein per serving! 2 Tbs milled flax seed (you can leave it out if you don't like the texture) Spinach, a big handful Stawberries, a handful Medium Banana Handful of ice Put in blender... and blend. Tip: I freeze my bananas and strawberries in premeasured baggies. Enjoy!
