I often encourage patients to start the habit of drinking a green drink in the morning, this could be in the form of a green; juice, smoothie or ready to drink powder. Greens’ are packed with vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients essential to great health, and a green drink is a good way to ensure that you getting a dose of these nutrients each day.
Many mornings I start with a green juice before breakfast and I wanted to share my recipe with you.
Ingredients:
2 large curly kale leaves
2 celery ribs
1/2 cucumber
1 lemon, skin removed
1 cup of pineapple
knob of ginger

3. Juice all fruit and vegetables
4. Serve over ice and enjoy.
Pregnancy is a physically demanding process. Your body needs extra nutrients to ensure that you and your baby get the nutrients needed for optimal growth and development.
In my opinion over the counter supplements and those provided by GP’s and midwives are not good enough.
