Now that my son is almost 2 and looking back, I am so happy that I maintained a healthy pregnancy nutrition. I think it makes all the difference in the world. Not only was Nicholas never sick and a very healthy baby, but he is a great eater. And I credit that all to my pregnancy nutrition.
I also nursed my son for a full year so postpartum nutrition is also very important as the baby can taste the food you ingest in your meals. So take this amazingly easy and delicious healthy snack and integrate it into your pregnancy nutrition.
Eating healthy will prevent nausea, give you more energy, and prevent excess weight gain. Make sure that you eat every 2-3 hours. Eat a small meal including protein, healthy starches and vegetables. I know you are probably thinking that eating so many times a day is overwhelming, but if you are prepared with healthy snacks like this, it can be a breeze!
This recipe will help you stick to a healthy pregnancy nutrition, so make sure to try it and then come back on my blog and tell me all about it. I'm telling you, they are delicious and you can carry them in your purse.
