When it comes to prenatal nutrition, most women know that what you eat and drink plays a crucial role in the ability to have a healthy pregnancy and nourish the growing baby. However, most women don’t realize that the diet they have during the months prior to conception has the ability to increase fertility and lay the groundwork for a healthy pregnancy.
When it comes to packing nutrients into a meal, nothing beats a daily smoothie!
