Pregnant Brain Smoothie

Not only is vitamin C an important addition to your diet for its strong immunity-building power; this vitamin also benefits the expectant mom by providing optimal brain functioning. That means better mental clarity, improved focus, and an overall feeling of awareness instead of the mental fuzziness commonly referred to as “pregnant brain.”
