With the holidays here, you may be craving something sweet. Since I know you don’t want to blow off your healthy pregnancy diet, try this sweet smoothie instead of holiday cookies or ice cream.

You’ll need: 

• 3/4 cup diced pineapple
• 1 small banana
• 1/4 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
• 1/2 cup calcium enriched orange juice
• 1/2 cup low fat yogurt (soy yogurt works too)
• 1/2 cup ice cubes

To make: 

Puree the pineapple, berries, banana, and oj in your blender. Add yogurt and ice. Blend smooth - drink up. This is sweet, but not crazy sweet; just enough to ward off cravings.

If you know that citrus won’t kill your cravings, try one of these healthy treats:

• Icy cold summer lime smoothie - ok it’s citrus again, but lighter.
