Smoothies are a great way to pack in a nutritional punch during pregnancy, especially when you may not be able to tolerate many fruits and vegetables otherwise (hello first trimester)!

Smoothie Recipes To Boost Immunity

Smoothies are also a great way to make nutritious and delicious meals or snacks for the expecting mama that’s ALWAYS on the go.

Ready to get started? When making a smoothie to help with pregnancy nausea, it is important to create a balance of carbs, protein, and fat to help stabilize blood sugars.

It is also important to incorporate a variety of fruits and vegetables to get a mix of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants for you and your baby during pregnancy.

Immunity Boosting Smoothie

Most moms-to-be have a hard time keeping down raw fruits and vegetables while battling morning sickness. Smoothies are a great way to get in your fruits and veggies when you can’t tolerate them otherwise.

Adding protein into your smoothie during pregnancy is important. Most mamas have a hard time keeping protein foods down during the first trimester. Plus, your protein needs increase during pregnancy.

Your baby’s brain is made up of 60% fat. Fat also helps to regulate your blood sugar, which in turn can help lessen pregnancy nausea.

Easy Grapefruit Smoothie

Liquids give smoothies their smooth consistency. They also provide nutritional benefits too. Depending on what triggers your nausea, you may change up the liquid you use in your smoothie.

Be mindful of using fruit juices in your smoothies. Although fruits supply your body with vitamins and minerals, fruit juice is high in natural sugars which can cause a spike in your blood sugar and worsen nausea. You can cut your fruit juice with water. Or, add more proteins and fat to help stabilize your blood sugar. (See above for protein and fat recommendations!).

Ginger, lemon, and peppermint are well known for their ability to ease upset stomachs. Add in some freshly minced ginger and a drop or two of lemon or peppermint essential oil to help lessen any pregnancy nausea. 

Anti Inflammatory Smoothie

Many mamas who struggle with pregnancy nausea have a hard time keeping their prenatal vitamins down. That is why I LOVE this prenatal multi that comes in a powder form and can easily be added to your smoothie!

Once you have decided on your ingredients, it’s as simple as throwing all of the ingredients into a high speed blender. Blend until smooth. Then, enjoy (before the nausea sets in)!

Now that we covered the basics, how do you know the BEST ingredients to use for a morning sickness smoothie? Below I share some of the best ingredients to help alleviate that dreaded pregnancy nausea!

Super Healthy Smoothie Recipes

Ginger has long been known for its many benefits including settling upset stomachs, reducing nausea and vomiting, and its anti-inflammatory properties. Most importantly, ginger has been found to be a safe and effective treatment for pregnancy induced nausea and vomiting.

If you suffer from morning sickness during pregnancy, add some fresh minced ginger to your morning smoothie. Not only will it help settle your stomach, but you will also benefit from the many antioxidants it contains too!

Lemon and other tart citrus fruits are easy on the stomach. The smell of lemon can also help reduce nausea and vomiting during pregnancy.

Tummy Soothing Smoothie Recipe

Add a squirt of lemon juice (or a drop of lemon essential oil) into your next pregnancy smoothie. While you are at it, you can also diffuse lemon and peppermint essential oils to get the most benefit of aromatherapy in reducing pregnancy induced nausea and vomiting.

Vitamin B6 is an effective and safe therapy for pregnancy related nausea. Adding foods rich in Vitamin B6 to your pregnancy smoothie can increase your overall intake too!

One of the earliest symptoms of magnesium deficiency is nausea. Women with heightened nausea during pregnancy have been found to have low magnesium levels. Add foods rich in magnesium to your smoothie to keep your levels optimal and fight off pregnancy nausea.
