💚Looking for a nutrient packed smoothie to take

💚Looking for a nutrient packed smoothie to take you into the weekend with a jump in your step? Look 👀 no further.. 💚

This smoothie is literally packed full of delicious goodness to kick start your weekend??

Love 👍 it or loathe 👎 it celery really is amazing when it comes to nutritious health. As well as containing vitamin C which is just one of the building blocks for skin and also acts as an antioxidant protecting cells from damage, there’s also an additional 12 different antioxidant nutrients that are found in a single stalk 😮 It’s also a wonderful source of phytonutrients, which have been shown to reduce inflammation in the digestive tract, cells, blood vessels, and organs.

You already know how much I love spinach 🥬 for its health properties and high levels of Folate which is important before pregnancy and in
the first few weeks of pregnancy to prevent neural tube defects, and also in later pregnancy it can also help prevent a particular type of anaemia. Add in some limes to the mix and you’ve got a smoothie that contains iron, calcium, thiamine, potassium and vitamin b6 👌

Add a little ginger and it’ll transform it...

Don’t forget to save this post and give this a try... ⠀⠀

Have a great weekend lovelies xx ⠀⠀

Remember when your mum use to tell you that you ne

Remember when your mum use to tell you that you need to drink your milk 🥛 everyday to get strong bones and teeth? 🖐 yep my mum still does it now and I’m almost 40, once a mum always a mum hey. 😆

But did you know you can get your calcium from other means.

Minerals are inorganic substances that are crucial to the balanced functioning of our body. They help build bone, skin, tissue and teeth. ⠀⠀
Calcium is just one of the 20 essential minerals that our body needs and is crucial in the development and growth of your baby’s bones and to help maintain the health of yours throughout pregnancy too. ⠀⠀

Various dairy products such as cheese, milk and yogurt are all good examples of calcium rich food sources but what about if we’re following a vegan 🌱 lifestyle or like so many of us, avoid dairy altogether and opt for almond milk, oat milk and the many other dairy alternatives out there.
⠀⠀
If you’re following a vegan lifestyle you can still find plenty of calcium fortified foods out there such as breakfast cereals and breads. Green leafy vegetables such as kale and dairy alternatives that are fortified with calcium such as yogurts, rice and oat milk.

Pregnant women need about 1,000 milligrams of calcium a day and women 18 and younger need 1,300 milligrams per day. If you can, try to aim for about four servings of calcium-rich foods daily. ⠀⠀

Happy 😃 healthy pregnancies to you all. Xx .

How do you ensure you keep your iron levels up when following a plant based diet?
⠀⠀
Iron is a fundamental mineral needed for the normal growth and development of your baby and women can often suffer from iron deficiency during pregnancy. ⠀⠀
If you are concerned about your Iron levels during pregnancy, please consult your doctor or midwife who will be able to carry a blood test to determine if you’re deficient. ⠀⠀

Because iron found in plant based foods isn’t absorbed as easily as that found in animal products, women who do not include meat in their diet need to make sure they include a full range of green leafy vegetables, beans, lentils, seeds and iron rich fortified cereals. ⠀⠀
Vitamin C has also been shown to enhance the absorption of iron from plant-based sources. ⠀⠀
Vitamin C is a fat-soluble vitamin and is not stored naturally in the body so regular consumption of vitamin C rich foods throughout the day will aid in your body’s ability to absorb iron. ⠀⠀
Iron can be found in two forms in foods — heme and non-heme. Heme iron is only found in animal products, whereas non-heme iron is only found in plants 🌱 ⠀⠀
The recommended daily intake (RDI) is 27 mg per day for pregnant women. ⠀⠀
Excellent sources of Iron for women not consuming meat throughout pregnancy include:
⠀⠀
Pulses (such as beans, peas and lentils) ✔️ Green leafy 🥬 vegetables (such as watercress) ✔️
Wholemeal, seeded and wheatgerm bread 🍞 ✔️
Quinoa✔️
Iron-fortified breakfast cereals✔️
Dried apricots and figs✔️
Sesame and pumpkin seeds✔️ ⠀⠀

Some days you’re winning 🏆other days you just want to run 🏃‍♀️ and hide 🙈
⁣
It feels like I’m either treading water, barely keeping my head above the surface or hurtling head first into a watery pool of despair lately!!!
⁣
It’s the week of birthdays 🍰 for my September babies which to be fair is always going to cause me no end of stress, two kids, two birthdays five days a part 🤦‍♀️ ( seriously who the hell planned that)
⁣
The overwhelm is strong and it’s only bloody Monday but the kiddies are happy and this makes me happy 😊 plus my car passed its MOT so that’s one thing ticked off the list for the week 🙌
⁣
Hoping your week has started well lovelies!!

Summers still clinging on hey ☀️

Anyone else absolutely loving the gorgeous sunshine right now? 😀
⁣
It feels like summer just isn’t ready to say her goodbyes and I’m totally okay with that..
⁣
It just gives me an excuse to keep creating some summer vibe smoothies 🏖 ☀️ 🍹
And this Tropical Smoothie ticks every box ✔️
⠀⠀
I love passion fruit so much!
⁣
Did you know that just one serving gives you about 98% of your daily requirement of fibre‼️
And consuming regularly can give your digestive system a boost and help with constipation 👌
⠀⠀
Combined with banana 🍌 which is an excellent fruit for aiding digestion and combined with a little mango 🥭 which is packed full of Vitamin A and is the perfect fruit for some much needed vitality and energy, awesome properties for promoting healthy skin I think this smoothie should be on everyone’s breakfast list...
⠀⠀
Have an awesome weekend lovelies!! 😘

𝙰𝚛𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚜𝚝𝚛𝚞𝚐𝚐

𝙰𝚛𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚜𝚝𝚛𝚞𝚐𝚐𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚠𝚒𝚝𝚑 𝚑𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚝𝚋𝚞𝚛𝚗? 🔥

Heartburn can be a real pain in the arse for some of us during pregnancy and It tends to get worse near the end of pregnancy as the baby begins to take up more and more space, pushing things upwards and causing the stomach to leak acid out which is what causes that awful burning sensation in the chest. As a regular sufferer of indigestion pregnant and not pregnant I know only too well how bloody awful it can be.

🤫 I'll let you into a little secret, I sometimes suffer with such bad digestive problems, I wake in the night and it feels like my chest is going to explode with trapped gasses and a burning feeling and it radiates all down my back. And my bloody hero of a husband has to rub and pat my back to force the gas out, much like winding a baby. 🤦‍♀️

He was always the best when it came to winding our little ones too ( I’m so grateful for those shovel hands of his and the fact that basically winding his wife hasn't caused him to run for the hills cos it ain’t pretty and sure as hell isn’t sexy 😂 )

So when I was pregnant heart burn and indigestion was a regular thing but knowing what foods triggered me off really helped and drinking a cooling smoothie made from ice cold almond milk, frozen bananas and a little oatmeal was a saving grace on many a bad night.
The best way to avoid heartburn is to eat little and often throughout the day and to avoid large meals especially in the evening. Some women find spicy foods lead to heartburn so you may need to say bye 👋 to that Friday curry 🍛 night for a while, but hopefully once bubba is born things will settle back down, so don’t bin the takeaway menu just yet.

What foods trigger you off and what have you found that helps?

Have a good evening you gorgeous lot and thanks for stopping by xx 😘
