Mango Kefir Drink

PregnancyAmericanEasyServes 25 min

A refreshing, sippable blend of frozen mango chunks and pasteurized plain kefir.

As you prepare for labor and nursing, hydration and nutrient density are key. This cool, refreshing drink supplies the mother with hydrating fluids and gut-friendly probiotics from the kefir, easing the constipation and heartburn common in the third trimester. It's also packed with calcium for the baby's rapidly growing skeleton, while the vitamin C from the mango helps your body absorb iron from other meals.
