Pregnancy Smoothie (good for Breastfeeding Moms, too!)
This "Pregnancy Smoothie" is an easy way to sneak more DHA into your diet-- a healthy fat which is though to help promote healthy brain development.
Ingredients
- 1 cup water or almond milk
- 1 cup raspberries frozen
- 1 cup Mango frozen
- 3 Medjool dates pitted, soft
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (flax works, too)
- 1 tablespoon hemp seed
- 2 teaspoons DHA oil look for the life’sDHA® logo on the back, Udo's Choice brand
- spinach optional, handful, fresh
Instructions
- Combine all of the ingredients in a high-speed blender, starting with just 1 teaspoon of the Udo's Oil to make sure the flavor doesn't overwhelm your taste buds. Blend until smooth, then add another teaspoon of the DHA oil if you like. (I can usually get away with 2 teaspoons no problem, but adding another one makes it taste too "fishy" to me.) Serve immediately, and store the remaining Udo's Oil in the fridge for best shelf life.
