And now the controversial mum has been slammed as negligent in a recent recipe video.
Taking to social media, Nara, who is currently pregnant with her fourth child, shared her recipe for cookies.
All was going well as she showed the delicious soft-baked cookies until she revealed what she was drinking with them.
Most people like to have a glass of milk with their cookies, and Nara did just that, but this time, with raw milk.
"These hit the spot with some cold raw milk," the mum said as she finished her video, sparking a horrified response from concerned viewers.
The drink has been illegal to buy in the UK for forty years due to dangerous bacteria found in raw dairy products.
One wrote: "Raw milk while pregnant is actually unhinged."
"Raw milk while pregnant is crazy... why is pasteurisation a problem?" added a third.
Meanwhile, a fourth said: "Raw milk for why?? You are taking an enormous risk for no reason."
Viral trad wife Nara Smith pregnant with 4th child aged 23 - as trolls say 'that's insane, as I'm sure the name will be'
The U.S. Food and Drug Administratio said pregnant women run a serious risk of becoming ill drinking raw milk.
Listeria, a germ often found in raw milk can cause miscarriage, or illness, or death of the newborn baby.
"If you are pregnant, drinking raw milk - or eating foods made from raw milk - can harm your baby even if you don't feel sick," they warned.
Nara has gained a massive following on social media due to her 'trad wife' lifestyle.
She's often seen in the kitchen baking extravagant meals from scratch while wearing designer dresses worth thousands of pounds.
She shares Rumble, four, Slim Easy, three, and Whimsy Lou, one, with Lucky, 27 - whom she tied the knot with in 2020
What is raw milk and the dangers?
Most milk goes through pasteurisation before it is consumed.
This is where it is cooked to below boiling point to kill off bacteria and micro-organisms.
However, raw milk is not pasteurised and can be harmful.
As more people drank milk in the 20th Century an increase in milkborne diseases ripped through humans.
Tuberculosis, typhoid, scarlet fever and diphtheria were just a few of the serious illnesses spread through raw milk.
These diseases were virtually eliminated in humans with the implementation of pasteurisation, in combination with improved management practices on dairy farms.
Raw milk can carry dangerous bacteria such as salmonella, e-coli, listeria and campylobacter.
A 2019 Public Health England review finds raw milk responsible for 26 outbreaks of intestinal infectious disease in England and Wales between 1992 and 2017.
These involved 343 people and resulted in 41 hospitalisations. There were no outbreaks between 2003 and 2013, but seven occured between 2014 and 2017.
It's been illegal to sell unpasteurised dairy milk in supermarkets or high street shops in England, Wales and Northern Ireland since 1985 and it's outlawed in Scotland.

Vanessa Hudgens is seen for the first time since announcing second pregnancy as she takes her baby out
was spotted enjoying a walk with her baby on Thursday in Los Angeles. It was the first time the High School Musical alum, 36, had been seen in public since announcing she and husband Cole Tucker were expecting a second child. And it is also the first time the mother has offered a glimpse of the little one publicly since bringing the child home from the hospital in July 2024. Hudgens looked relaxed in black leggings and a matching black top with a lavender cover up. She wore white sneakers and sox as she pushed the stroller along a paved area. The Bad Boys: Ride or Die star wore little to no makeup and pulled her long, dark hair up into a top knot but. She wore dark sunglasses in the bright Southern California rays, and accessorized with two gold necklaces and dangling diamond earrings. The little one, who turned one on July 3, was dressed in a gender-neutral tan outfit, looking adorable with a binky in their mouth. Hudgens and Tucker, 29, have not revealed the name of their oldest child nor any other information about the tyke. On Saturday, the Spring Breakers actress and the MLB star gleefully announced they were expanding their small family. The loved-up couple held hands in an sweet carousel of photos captioned 'Round two!' Hudgens showed proof of her being in the family way, baring her baby bump in a chic open shirt and matching skirt. Hutchins, who previously dated Austin Butler, reportedly met Tucker via zoom in November 2020, 11 months after breaking up with the Elvis star. During her March 2024 appearance on the She Pivots podcast, Hudgens explained, 'I feel my last breakup has really catapulted me to a very, very special place, obviously.' 'You pushed me to the right person,' she said of Butler, adding that their split is something she is 'so grateful for.' In an interview with Entertainment Tonight in April 2021, Hudgens said her future husband was 'just kind of perfect for me.' 'I am [happy]. I really am. I think that it's also so important to stay grateful for everything that you have in life. 'I've been making that a priority, and I feel like it's just been making magic happen all the more.' The couple tied the knot in December 2023 during a romantic ceremony in Tulum, Mexico, and just four months later, she debuted her first baby bump at the 2024 Academy Awards. The pair put on a passionate display at their first post-baby outing together at the at the Vanity Fair Oscars Party in March. No evidence of her growing baby bump was visible in her sexy black dress with a hip-high slit.

The perils of bringing the Bayeux tapestry to Britain
Patrick Wintour likens the British Museum's loan/swap of the Bayeux tapestry for treasures from Sutton Hoo to France's 1963 loan of the Mona Lisa to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York as examples of art's service in international diplomacy (The diplomacy of art: Bayeux tapestry loan shows cultural gifts still matter, 11 July). The example is inauspicious. While at the Met, the Leonardo was stored in a strongroom overnight. One night, a fire sprinkler malfunctioned and sprayed water over the picture for hours. Fortunately, it was face up and therefore the paint layers were protected by the glass cover. Had it been face down, its panel would have been saturated and warped, with horrendous consequences. The incident was covered up – and was only disclosed (unofficially) three decades later by the ex-Met director Thomas Hoving in his DaleyDirector, ArtWatch UK Last year, you published an item about Mia Hansson and the replica of the Bayeux tapestry she was making (Experience, 26 April 2024). I wonder if she has finished it yet?Tony MeacockNorwich I nearly covered myself in my breakfast porridge when I read that the Labour MP Helena Dollimore wants the Bayeux tapestry to be carted around the country like a collection of rolled-up sheets (Call for British Museum to take Bayeux tapestry to '1066 country', 14 July). This is an ancient collection of threads that has survived for so much longer than most items of fabric and it must be treated with care, gentleness and caution. I have misgivings about it leaving its current home for even five minutes, but if the experts think it can travel across the Channel for one visit, then so be it. But one visit it must be, not a travelling circus. The visit is an opportunity to learn about the events leading up to the battle and perhaps to stop acting as though this country sprang into being in 1066, when it does in fact have a long and fascinating history that connects us to the countries of northern Europe. Spare a thought, though, for the aged fabric and for the embroiderers who worked so hard to make GibsonBalsham, Cambridgeshire Have an opinion on anything you've read in the Guardian today?

I Know What You Did Last Summer: Why 2025 is big for horror
Lights down, armrest gripped, teeth clenched - just an average evening at the cinema for a horror film genre is having a great year in 2025, with the top three examples - Sinners, Final Destination: Bloodlines and 28 Years Later - taking a total of £41.3m ($55.6m) in the compared with £32.1m ($43.1m) for the eight biggest horrors released last year, according to Box Office North America, scary movies have accounted for 17% of ticket purchases this year - up from 11% in 2024 and 4% a decade ago, according to a report from the Reuters news agency."Right now it feels like we're in the renaissance of horror," Chase Sui Wonders, one of the stars of I Know What You Did Last Summer (IKWYDLS), tells BBC Newsbeat."Everyone's going to theatres watching horror movies." The small screen's also helping to switch us on to new releases. According to data provided by TikTok, there's been an rise in horror-related videos globally on the app in the past 12 said 10.7m people used the horror hashtag - an increase of 38% - while HorrorTok rose 40% to tags aren't exclusively used on movie-related content, but TikTok said it had noticed a spike in videos using them during the Cannes Film Festival in May. While the figures for the past year could suggest a horror explosion, long-time fans argue the popularity hasn't crept up on us out of nowhere. Ash Millman, a journalist and presenter who specialises in covering horror, says the genre's success has been more of a slow-burn than a the last 10 years, she says, it's been gathering more critical and commercial says the success of artier efforts such as Hereditary, from studio A24, and crowd pleasers from horror specialists Ash does admit that this year has been a particularly good one for fans."It's got a bit of everything for everyone," she says. "We have sequels, then amazing new things like Sinners."I do think we're going to be talking about 2025 for years to come."Ash points out that the genre has constantly been fed by producers of smaller-scale indie productions, but the number of major releases this year is notable."I think blockbuster horror has become a thing again," she says. "People want to go to the cinema, they want to see it on the big screen, they want to be scared." Since the Covid-19 pandemic, when streaming films at home increased, Hollywood has been struggling to get people back into cinemas. Horror movies, which tend to be relatively cheap to make, seem to be bucking the trend, and IKWYDLS is the latest big studio release hoping to do the same. Its director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson tells Newsbeat the feeling of watching with an audience is hard to replicate on your sofa."I think it's the collective experience of being scared," she says. "It's so fun. Everybody wants to go to the movies with their friends and jump and scream and have a good time."IKWYDLS is a retread of the cult 1997 slasher movie about a group of friends who agree to cover up a tragic accident, only to be pursued a year later by an anonymous killer known as the original came out in October - the traditional "spooky season" window for big horror releases. But IKWYDLS cast member Jonah Hauer-King says he thinks the new version won't feel out of place in July."Counter-intuitively, though it is frightening and scary, there is something feel-good about this kind of film," he says."It doesn't take itself too seriously and it is a bit of a wild ride, so it feels like a summer popcorn film with the scares and with the thrills." Jonah thinks there is also a deeper reason for the appeal of horror, too."I think at the moment people want to go to the cinema for a bit of escapism, forget about things and have a bit of fun," he agrees, and says times of "chaos and uncertainty" in the wider world tend to boost the genre."I think that's always a big festering ground for horror to make statements," she says."I feel like horror is a reflection of society but gives us a bit of control over it."Usually you see people kind of battling against a great evil and overcoming it in blockbuster horror, where we get a nice wrapped-up ending."And I think that's a really nice form of escapism and a way of kind of moving past these horrible things going on in the world."
