Freakishly Awesome Mint Chocolate Smoothie (that's GOOD for you)
I came up with a Christmasy hit here this morning. My pregnant gut is happy, happy, too, and my blood sugar level is totally intact and unscathed.
And I'm no longer craving ice cream. The kids liked it, too. Here goes! Mint Chocolate Smoothie
I didn't add any sweetener and it was fantastic, but if you must add something, a little honey would do the trick. Blend forever. This is important. Nobody likes plant chunks in their smoothie. ENJOY!! Not just guilt-free, but *awesome* for your bods. You've got good EFAs, you've got potassium, you're protein-heavy, you're packed with vitamins, you've got your good gut bacteria, you've got healthy carbs, you've got some theobromine, you've got good blood-builders.... I woke up today feeling like a walking infomercial. Post your favorite smoothie recipe? It's fun to see what other people enjoy, just to shake up the routine a little (pun intended). This pregnant lady is continuously hungry. Last edited by Aisling; 12-13-2011 at 06:47 AM. |

I think you meant egg whites above...not yolks since all the protein is in the Whites and all the Fat is in the Yolks

I do like it for the fat. Blame it on placenta brain. Heck, dump the whole egg in there.

Re: Freakishly Awesome Mint Chocolate Smoothie (that's GOOD for you)
This sounds like something my youngest daughter would really love! I daresay the other children, my husband and I may enjoy it too, so thanks for sharing! I might have to try it out in the future.

This sounds super yummy! I wish I would have seen this when I was pregnant- would have helped with taking chlorophyll for sure
