off topic of pregnancy

With this pregnancy I have been trying to eat much better so I have a few smoothies a week for breakfast. I make my own and always use fresh fruit and fat free yogurt and fat free milk and just a little vanilla. I hear that these are not nearly as healthy as I thought and could cause me to gain more than I should. What do you guys think?

I saw that spinach is really good for them and I tried it the other day and it was pretty good. They have also helped with constipation. What is spirulina powder?

I think this sounds healthy, I agree I wouldn't use the low/non fat, you are growing a human! :) I'm jealous of your smoothies tho, they sound fantastic. Try googling some healthy items you can add to smoothies like the above poster said nice change & there's some great super foods out there that can make a smoothie taste great!

I think you should change to full fat as well, especially the youghurt as low/fat or not fat unless its unsweeted liked greek yoghurt will contain a heap of sugar, you could also look at putting in some chis seeds, weatgerm etc, if you want a change you could try fresh orange juice, banana and spirulina powder blended up as well :)

Very healthy and you need dairy and fruits when your preg.
