Bumpin Blends

Making a smoothie isn’t rocket science. But putting together the perfect blend of healthy ingredients takes time—and can sometimes end up looking (or tasting!) like a science experiment. Thanks to Bumpin Blends, you can whip up a delicious smoothie in seconds—no fridge scouring, guesswork, or chopping required. Founded by a registered dietician while pregnant with her daughter, Bumpin Blends’ custom smoothie cubes are tailored to meet important nutritional needs at each stage of motherhood. Plus, they help with all sorts of pregnancy and postpartum symptoms, from fatigue to morning sickness to swollen ankles (and everything in between). Made with only whole veggies, fruits, nuts, seeds, proteins, and spices, you can drink up knowing that all of the ingredients are almost exclusively organic and free of added sugars, artificial ingredients, and preservatives. And they taste amazing. Once you subscribe, you’ll get a text from a personal dietitian who will gather info on your allergens, cravings, food preferences, and due date (if applicable). Then, a custom batch of frozen, pre-blended smoothie cubes in recyclable packaging (totaling seven,12-oz smoothies) will be delivered to your door every two weeks. Whenever a smoothie craving strikes, just pour your cubes into a blender and add ½ - 1 cup of liquid (they have recommendations on the best pairings), and blend! The more your dietician gets to know your preferences—and as your journey through parenthood changes—the more customized your smoothies will be. Subscriptions can always be paused, skipped, or canceled at any time. There’s an option to buy a one-time bundle, too. Pro tips: Use fewer cubes to make smaller servings, which is great if you're sharing these with tiny toddler tummies. If you have a teething baby, offer a cube in a teething pouch as a tasty, soothing treat for swollen gums! Another crucial tip… hide these in the freezer so you don’t have to share with anyone else in your house.

I had used smoothies throughout my pregnancy as a means to meet my baby’s needs while nurturing my own -- getting my nutrients in while including ingredients to soothe my nausea, bring down my swollen ankles, and of course, to satisfy my cookie dough cravings! As a registered dietitian, even I was overwhelmed by not only the sheer number of nutritional needs to be met when making a tiny human (folate, and vitamin D, and omega-3s… oh my!), but how challenging it was to squeeze all these nutrients into my day (especially since I really just felt like eating mac n cheese and mint chip ice cream). On that particular morning, accidentally breaking open a full bag of chia seeds and having them spill all over the floor was no surprise. It was one of many recent clumsy moments in the kitchen, including blending a wooden spatula into an acai bowl, visiting the ER after a failed chopping carrots situation (ten stitches!), staining our countertop with wild blueberries, just to name a few… I was officially too pregnant to play in the kitchen, which made me wonder if other mamas out there were feeling that way, too. So, I set out to help other soon-to-be mamas meet their baby’s nutritional needs and nurture their pregnancy symptoms in an easy, fast, and delicious way. No more crying over spilled chia seeds.
