Cold Ginger Berry Smoothie

PregnancyAmericanEasyServes 25 min

A mild, frosty blend of frozen strawberries, pasteurized low-fat Greek yogurt, water, and a pinch of grated fresh ginger.

The cold temperature and ginger in this smoothie work together to calm a sensitive stomach during the tough early-pregnancy nausea window. Greek yogurt provides easily tolerated protein to help steady the mother's blood sugar, while giving the baby building blocks for growth. Blending frozen fruit with fluids is a gentle way to stay hydrated when plain water sounds unappealing.
