Nourish Mama Smoothie

Pregnancy has a way of bringing everything back to the basics — rest, nourishment, and caring for your body in a gentle, intentional way. As I get ready to step into the role of grandmother, I’ve been thinking a lot about how we support moms during pregnancy and those early months of motherhood, when simple nourishment can make such a difference.

This Nourish Mama Smoothie is one of my favorite ways to do just that. It’s easy to make, packed with nutrient-dense ingredients, and designed to support both mom and baby — whether you’re pregnant, newly postpartum, or simply looking for a nourishing start to the day. Think of it as a small, steady way to care for yourself when life feels full and busy.

• ½–¾ cup plain Greek yogurt

• 1 tbsp chia seeds

METHOD:

1. Start by gathering all the ingredients.
