If you’re a mama out there who is struggling to find some snacks or meals to help with inescapable nausea and food aversions that come with pregnancy, I’m your girl. I was a picky eater before I became pregnant so as soon as the food aversions hit, I became even pickier. Crazy right? I used to not be able to eat a whole bunch of dairy pre-pregnancy due to being lactose intolerant but lately, I have been craving milk. I guess my little one likes calcium!
Below are a few of my favorite snacks and meals throughout my pregnancy so far. I hope you find something new to try!
Snacks:
- Benton’s Cookie Thins.
- Chocolate oatmeal.
Here’s what I put in mine: 1 cup of instant oats, ½ cup of cocoa powder, ¼ cup of your favorite nut butter (I use almond or soy butter), ¼ cup of butter, and ½ cup of sugar. - Fruit bowl that consists of strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries.
- Mandarin orange slices.
- Toast with butter and strawberry jelly or soy butter.
- Homemade hashbrowns.
- Banana chocolate smoothie.
Here’s how I make mine: 2 banana’s, ½ cup of cocoa powder, ½ cup of your favorite nut butter (I use almond butter), 1 ½ cups of oat milk, ½ cup of sugar, and 1 cup of ice. I add more ice if needed. - Carrots and ranch.
- Enjoy Life protein bites.
Meals:
- Breakfast burritos.
When I make mine I have to have these ingredients: homemade guacamole, scrambled eggs, ground chicken or turkey, sauteed spinach, and occasionally hashbrowns. - Chicken Alfredo.
- Caesar salad.
I love adding Ken’s Caesar Dressing on top of mine. - Chili with a piece of grilled cheese on the side.
I hope this has helped inspire you to make some of these pregnancy snacks and meals!
