A Note for Expecting Moms

Dates are often loved by moms in their third trimester because they’re naturally rich in fiber, antioxidants, and minerals like potassium and magnesium. Many women enjoy them during late pregnancy because they’re satisfying, naturally sweet, and traditionally believed to support the body as it prepares for birth.

This smoothie is a delicious and easy way to enjoy dates if you want more of them in your routine—plus they add the most amazing caramel sweetness!

(As always, check with your doctor or midwife about what’s right for your own pregnancy.)
