Another chimed in, "I do the same thing daily but add cinnamon, flax or chia seeds, apple cider vinegar, and sometimes also add either an avocado or cocktail oil and powdered peanut butter for less mess!"
While one of Carson's followers said, "This was exactly what I use to make in my smoothies while pregnant and still to this day. I do like to add Greek plain yogurt as well."
Someone else had a suggestion to make the smoothie taste like a Wendy's Frosty! "I like adding this protein powder #plexuslean to mine. Makes it taste like a Wendy’s frosty. 🙌 Love the color the berries add! ❤️," they said."
Witney Carson Announces Pregnancy
The 29-year-old broke the news on an episode of the ABC reality dance competition show.
“I’m so excited to finally announce that Carson, Leo and myself are expecting baby number two!,” she said after performing her dance with Wayne Brady. “So, I’m so blessed and this just felt like a really, really good time to share it. And I can finally share it, which is great.”
After the season finale of “Dancing With the Stars,” Wayne Brady and Witney Carson went onto “Good Morning America” to discuss their time together on the show. While appearing, Carson opened up about her second pregnancy and what it was like trying to hide it from everyone on the show.
“[Wayne] is really nice and I could always just lean on him for anything,” Carson told the hosts of “Good Morning America.” “He was like one of the first people to know I was pregnant, so he really looked out for me. He’s like a big brother.”
