Morning Sickness Smoothie

February 16, 2020 Plant-Based Juniors 8 Comments

Jump to Recipe

Making a morning sickness smoothie is a great way to ease the nausea that inevitably comes with pregnancy. Here’s one of our favorite recipes for a delicious and easy anti-nausea smoothie.

How many mamas out there suffered from morning sickness? We both had it bad in the first trimester, but luckily it subsided. However long you experience it, morning sickness is never a pleasant time for a mama-to-be.

For the mornings (or afternoons, or evenings…) when you’re feeling the worst, we want to share one of our favorite anti-nausea recipes for pregnancy.

To make this smoothie, you’ll need just a handful of ingredients:

  • Pineapple
  • Ginger
  • Kale
  • Lemon Juice
  • Maple Syrup
  • Ice + water

Ginger root has long been studied for its ability to reduce nausea during pregnancy.

Research shows that, while best dosing and duration of its use are to be determined, ginger is a safe and effective home remedy that many women use.

This recipe combines the anti-nausea power of ginger with kale and pineapple, to help settle your stomach while packing in the nutrition.

And it’s as simple as throwing everything in a high speed blender, combining until smooth, and voila!

For the full recipe tutorial, check out the video below. Be sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel for more videos on nutrition and raising plant-based babes!

The printable recipe is detailed for you below.

Print Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 cup pineapple
  • 1 Tbsp fresh ginger
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice (omit if you have bad acid reflux)
  • 1 cup kale leaves
  • 1 Tbsp maple syrup (omit if you have gestational diabetes)
  • 1 cup ice
  • 1.5 cups water

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients to a high speed blender.
  • Blend until smooth and enjoy!

Notes

Add a scoop of vegan protein powder or a couple of ounces of silken tofu to boost the plant-protein content of this beverage.  Throw in an avocado for some extra healthy fats. Or enjoy it as is for a tummy-taming sip on those days when you can’t keep anything down!

Feeling nauseated might be a rite of passage for many pregnancies, but that doesn’t mean you have to grin and bear it.

Try this morning sickness smoothie to help settle your tummy, while giving your body a boost of nutrients. And if you like it, share our anti-nausea smoothie recipe with your mama-to-be friends!

    Looking for something quick using the ingredients I have on-hand and fresh ginger isn’t one of them. Can I sub organic grated ginger in place of fresh?
