Strawberry Papaya
Good for fighting infections during pregnancy
The last thing you want is for your immune system not to be in its best shape during your pregnancy. Nothing’s worse than being sick if you’re already not feeling your best! Fortunately, the strawberries and papayas found in this recipe are both known to help fight infections due to their high vitamin C content. In addition, the banana provides vitamin B 6 for extra immune-system support.
YIELDS: 1 ⁄ 2 CUP
1 cup strawberries, hulls intact
1 papaya, seeded and peeled
1 banana, peeled
Juice berries and papaya separately. Blend juices in a blender. Add banana and blend until smooth.

Tropical Cucumber
Good for healthy skin and hair
It’s important to feel your best both inside and out, especially while you’re pregnant, and the cucumber in this delicious drink provides a multitude of skin benefits. Cucumber contains silica, a trace mineral that helps provide strength to the connective tissues of the skin, which can help with swelling of the eyes and water retention. Cucumbers are also high in vitamins A and C and folic acid.

1 cup pineapple, peeled and cut into chunks
1 mango, pitted
1 cucumber, peeled
1 ⁄ 2 lemon, rind intact

Apple Lemonade
While apples are key players in maintaining a healthy digestive system during your pregnancy, pesticides should not be invited to the game. Unfortunately, the placement of apples on the “Dirty Dozen” list put out yearly by the Environmental Working Group (EWG) makes it especially important to purchase organic apples, whose skins won’t have come into contact with anything dangerous.
YIELDS: 1 CUP
