FAQ's

• How many calories are in the Healthy Mummy Smoothie?

  Each smoothie has a different caloric value, depending on its unique formulation and what you add into the mix, such as fruits & veggies.

  For example, one Premium Smoothie made with 30g, contains approximately 217 calories per serve when made with 250mL reduced fat milk.

  One Tummy Smoothie or Plant Based Smoothie made with 25g, contains approximately 205 calories per serve when made with 250mL reduced fat milk.

  Our Pregnancy Smoothie is designed to be high caloric, to meet the additional energy needs of pregnancy.

   

• Are the Premium, Tummy and Specialty Smoothies safe when pregnant or breasfeeding?

  Yes. The smoothies have been created to be low allergy and have been designed to be safe in breastfeeding* and have ingredients to help support milk supply – such as fenugreek, flaxseed and pumpkin seeds. 

  We consulted with the Monash University on our formulation and with a member of the Board of Dieticians to ensure it was safe in breastfeeding.

  Please note if your baby suffers from colic or has any food sensitivities we recommend talking to your Doctor before changing your diet.

  The smoothies do not have any caffeine*, chemicals or artificial ingredients in and are safe as a snack in pregnancy. However, we do not recommend following any weight loss plan in pregnancy unless under your Doctor’s supervision. Please note that one smoothie contains 180mcg RE vitamin A. The RDI of Vitamin A for pregnancy and breastfeeding is 700-800mcg daily, while the upper level of intake for pregnant and breastfeeding women is 2800-3000mcg.

  We recommend using our Healthy Mummy Pregnancy smoothies in pregnancy instead and you can purchase these here.

  Notes:

  *Except for the Espresso Premium which has a small amount of caffeine.
