I am about 7 weeks pregnant and the only things that don't seem to make me feel like i am going to throw up are fruits. I was thinking about buying a juicer so i can mask the taste of veggies in with the fruit plus i think my kids would benefit from it too. My husband also likes drinking the v8 juice so i was hoping to get something that he could make his own with.
After reading a bunch about it i noticed most people said a vitamix was a much more healthy option because it doesn't waste any of the fiber or nutrients like a juicer does. I just can't justify spending that much on a vitamix and i read that the bullets are a cheaper option to a vitamix but i am not sure how well they would actually work, so i was hoping i could get some help or recommendations on buying either a juicer or a bullet that i can make some healthy drinks out of. Thank you.

    I recommend talking to a prenatal dietitian about your questions. Moms need extra nutrients so they can feed their babies properly. They may be able to share some recipes that give you extra healthy choices while pregnant while also tasting like the fruits you love.

    I make really wonderful smoothies in my plain old Black & Decker blender. It's easy to clean, holds enough for three or four large smoothies at a time, and it was cheap. I'm not entirely convinced juicers are worth all the hype, but I may be in love with my blender and not seeing clearly! :laugh:

    Overall, double-checking with your doctor/dietitian about healthy concoctions while you are pregnant is vital. Everything else is secondary.

    Congratulations and good luck!
