Why it's good

Folate she won't taste

Spinach brings folate, which helps the baby's brain and spine develop. The banana and peanut butter cover up the green.

Ingredients

Method

  1. Put everything in the blender. A few ice cubes if you like it thick and cold.

  2. Blend until smooth. Two cups of spinach looks like a lot. It isn't.

  3. Pour it into a big glass. That's a meal she can drink with one hand.

The pregnancy version

Wash the spinach. Use pasteurized milk and yogurt.
