Curb nausea and refresh with these fueling, decadent, pregnancy smoothies! Each smoothie recipe is high in protein, naturally dairy-free, and loaded with nutrients to help growing bodies. Enjoy your favorite indulgent flavors or something more fruity with these ideas.
Smoothies are the staple that every pregnant mom needs in her diet while pregnant. They help you take in a ton of nutrients when you don’t want to eat salads (salads made me gag until about 21 weeks with all three of my babes) and they’re easy to make.
Plus, smoothies can be a wicked way to sneak in some extra nutrients that you otherwise won’t eat (especially in the first trimester, learn more about adding protein to smoothies).
As a Certified Nutrition Coach and mom of three, smoothies saved my butt through all three of my pregnancies.
Fact: Did you know that eating frequently can help curb nausea? And yet the thought of eating makes you nauseous? Smoothies solve that because you can easily just sip on them and they’re light and refreshing.

Ingredients To Have On Hand
Some common ingredients you’ll see in the smoothies are:
Frozen fruit: this makes the smoothies thick and refreshing!
Avocados: A dose of healthy fats and plant-based protein while giving the BEST texture.
Dairy-free milk: Any non-dairy milk will work, we use homemade hemp milk the most.
Cacao powder: For all things chocolate! High in antioxidants, iron, and magnesium learn the difference between cacao and cocoa powder.
Ginger: You won’t actually see this in the smoothie recipes. However, for the fruity recipes I’d suggest adding in a tiny bit (⅛ inch) raw ginger. It’s an AMAZING way to overcome nausea.
Collagen powder: Though some of the pregnancy smoothies feature protein powder, many moms get bloated even with a healthy vegan protein. Collagen powder is your one stop solution. Literally rhe HEALTHIEST protein source and it can be added to everything.
