Green Mango Chia Smoothie

PreconceptionAmericanEasyServes 25 min

A quick blend of fresh spinach, frozen mango chunks, and chia seeds.

Spinach is loaded with naturally occurring folate for both partners, essential for cell division and keeping nutritional stores up for a potential pregnancy. Chia seeds and bananas step in with magnesium and B6, which are wonderful for easing her luteal phase mood swings and cramps as progesterone peaks. Meanwhile, the frozen mango provides steady, whole-food carbohydrates to prevent afternoon energy dips without spiking blood sugar.
