Best Green Foods for Moms


Apples 🍏

Like they say, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away." Whether green, red, gold or a mixture. Apples are rich in fiber and essential vitamins that an expecting and nursing mom needs.

Avocado 🥑

Such a diverse and nutritious food packed with protein and vitamins. It is filling and supports healthy growth. Have it by itself, in a chopped salad, mashed on toast or in a smoothie. You really can't go wrong with the avocado as a grocery list staple.


Broccoli 🥦

Oh so green and delicious and also full of fiber, filling and rich in essential vitamins A & C. Have it raw, steamed in garlic butter or juice it with green apples and ginger.

Kiwi 🥝

Kiwi is rich in Vitamin C & fiber. The seeds are like little brooms that help with bowel movement, keeping the colon nice, free and efficient. This is an expecting mom must have to keep constipation at bay.

Swiss Chard 

This underated green is a superfood trick in Vitamis A, C & K, magnesium and antioxidants. Including this in your diet can help with the healthy organ development of your growing baby. 

Spinach 🥗

If you want your growing baby to be as strong as Popeye the sailor man, spinach you must eat. It is a rich source of folic acid to support your bebe's immune system to help ward of toxins and bacteria. It is also a rich source of vitamins, minerals and fiber. It is also tasty in a variety of dishes from smoothies to egg bites, to soups, salads and stews, you name it - spinach will fit in. 💚
