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
Juice mango and kiwi. Stir well before serving.

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.
YIELDS: 11⁄2 CUPS
1 cup pineapple
1⁄2 orange
1 papaya, seeded
Juice pineapple, orange, and papaya. Stir well.
