This Pregnant Mommy’s Mother’s Day Treat

“This shop is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group® and Nestle, but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #BreakfastEssentials http://my-disclosur.es/OBsstV”

This pregnant soon-to-be mommy was thrilled to wake up to a special treat on Mother’s Day from my sweet hubby! My wonderful husband used Carnation Breakfast Essentials Powder to create me a delicious tasting smoothie that he brought to me while I was getting ready for church along with a wonderful Mother’s Day gift of flowers, cards (one from him and one from our baby in the womb), and a baby memory book to record all our little one’s ‘firsts.’





To make the smoothie he combined Carnation Breakfast Essentials Powder in Rich Milk Chocolate with milk, bananas, and ice to create a delicious, healthy breakfast drink! This powder was the perfect treat because not only did it create an easy solution for a busy morning but the powder itself contains 21 vitamins and minerals, 13g of protein, and as much calcium as a 6 oz. cup of yogurt making it a super healthy breakfast for baby and I!

I purchased Carnation Breakfast Essentials at Walmart to take advantage of the following coupon: http://goo.gl/vVdFMA. The Carnation Breakfast Essentials Powder is an easy solution for busy mornings as you can see from my pictures as you can easily mix up your favorite smoothie recipe to make a great, easy breakfast. If you need ideas for smoothies you can visit this link to get other ideas. Carnation Breakfast Essentials Powder is kid friendly and is so easy to make it can easily be prepared by kids. You can view the nutritional value of these products for kids, teens, and adults at this link. 


Carnation Breakfast Essentials is available in a variety of flavors including Rich Milk Chocolate, Classic French Vanilla, Classic Chocolate Melt, Dark Chocolate, and Strawberry Sensation and can be purchased in a variety of ready to drink shakes, powders, and bars. 

The recipe for the smoothie my sweet hubby created is below.

    Sounds so lovely and what a nice Mother's day treat from your husband. The added banana would give you energy too through church.

    It did! And it helps with the leg cramps caused by pregnancy 🙂
