Nutritional Drink for Pregnancy

"16 years ago when I was pregnant with my first child my CNM gave me this recipe for a nutritional drink. I always found that I could get it down even when I had morning sickness and I credit it for my kids' great health even when I was so queasy I could eat almost nothing. The CNM recommended whole milk because the fat in the milk improves the absorption of the calcium and other nutrients. I usually left out the fruit because sweet things made me queasy."

directions

  • Mix all ingredients in a blender until smooth. (If you aren't using the fruit you can just stir it up with a spoon).
  • Both nutritional yeast and blackstrap molasses are strong flavors. If you aren't accustomed to them use less at first and increase the strength a little at a time as you get used to them.
  • If you can't drink it all at once it will keep in the fridge all day -- just stir it up again as needed.

  1. I'm anaemic and this is a nice easy way of getting a big hit of iron in one go. Doesn't taste too bad either!
     
  2. This would be a good nutritional drink for ANYBODY, pregnant or not. I havne't tried it, but am adding to my smoothie "rotation" list. I also add protein powder to my smoothies. This looks super, and a nice break from the usual banana/strawberry concoctions I tend drink. Thanks for posting.
     
  3. this really worked for me! thanks
