Organic Juices for a Healthy Pregnancy : Mango Kiwifruit, Pineapple Greets Papaya

1. Mango Kiwifruit

Good for fighting infections during pregnancy

The fear of getting sick or having fewer treatment options during pregnancy can be put to rest with this immune booster. Mangos are high in vitamins A and C, beta-carotene, niacin, fiber, and potassium, all of which help fight infection and toxins. In addition, kiwifruit contain more vitamin C than oranges, and they’re also high in antioxidants, which allow you to prevent those common colds or, if you do get sick, recover from them more quickly.

YIELDS: 1 CUP

2 mangos, pitted

3 kiwifruit, peeled

The tropical taste of mango juice is a great way to brighten up any day. Start things off on the right foot with the Rise and Shine recipe that marries that wonderful mango flavor with pineapple, peach, and banana. Then you can keep things upbeat and exotic later in the day with a glass of Mango Kiwifruit or Tropical Cucumber.

2. Pineapple Greets Papaya

Good for your digestive system

If you experience a change in your digestive tract during pregnancy, this juice contains the best nutrients for your tummy health. Bromelain, a digestive enzyme found in pineapple, can help restore normal digestion, and papaya is a good source of vitamins A and C, which help remove waste products that can slow digestion.
