3 INGREDIENT BREAKFAST SMOOTHIE – pregnancy & postpartum

Smoothies are a great option when you are busy, nauseous or just too tired to consider chewing….but still want to stay well nourished !!

This breakfast smoothie is one of my favourites as it only contains 3 ingredients. Plus, it’s high in protein, essential fats and amino acids to help you feel full and the addition of banana boosts potassium, which can help avoid the dreaded pregnancy cramps and makes it a wonderfully creamy shake.

What I love about making smoothies is that they make the perfect quick and easy meal that I can enjoy for a delicious breakfast, lunch or dinner – plus they are portable, so are perfect if you’re on the run….or seated for long periods nursing a baby.
