When it comes to food, I can't say I've been the picture of good health during this pregnancy. I started off with the best of intentions, but truth be told, this baby has a serious sweet tooth (yes, I'm totally blaming the baby) and up until recently, my breakfast would often consist of a Starbucks Hot Chocolate (with whip, duh) and apple fritter, which I'm quite sure actually contains no apples. But I'm committed to make a strong finish! And my super awesome smoothie fits both the sweet tooth bill and I think is probably relatively healthy. Enjoy!
- a handful of frozen mango chunks (buy these whenever you see them on sale - they can be expensive)
- a handful of either frozen blueberries or strawberries
- a big handful (look how precise I am with my measurements...) of baby spinach
- 1 cup of organic vanilla soy milk (our iVillage nutrition expert Lianne Phillipson-Webb says that if you're going to buy anything organic, soy milk is it)
- 3/4 cup vanilla yogurt
- 1 tbls of flax seed oil
I got the spinach in the smoothie idea from my sister-in-law and was skeptical. Sounded a little *too healthy for me. But trust, it's delish. Just ask Archer!
