Morning Sickness Smoothie Recipe

Everyone thought I would have terrible, terrible morning sickness because I was pregnant with twins, but I really only threw up a handful of times. Morning sickness for me was more of an all day feeling of intense queasiness and extreme fatigue that lasted a few months. I remember that I locked my jaw a lot in an attempt to not vomit.

There are so many recommendations out there about how to fight morning sickness, such as ginger candy or wrist bands that press on acupressure points. I tried the acupressure wrist bands and I can’t really say if they did or did not work, but I have taken ginger anti-nausea tablets prior to taking rough boat rides in an attempt to curb seasickness. Since those ginger tablets usually worked for me, I thought I would try putting a bit of ginger in my smoothies while I was pregnant for some nausea relief.

Here are the ingredients needed for the recipe:

Frozen pineapple
Frozen banana
Fresh ginger root
Vanilla Greek yogurt
Coconut milk, milk, or pineapple juice
Ground cinnamon
Optional: ice if using fresh pineapple and banana
Optional: ground flax seeds or chia seeds

This recipe makes a double batch, so it can be a smoothie for you and for your partner, or one for now and one for later. Simply refrigerate the extra and you have one ready for the next day as well! Plus, it’s recommended to take prenatal vitamins with food so it’s a win-win smoothie.
