Life has gotten REALLY busy the past couple weeks, but with all good things. Shane and I hosted our first cooking class, I have been super busy in the salon working on hair extension projects for Great Lengths, my mom is visiting me in Las Vegas, AND let’s not forget that the ‘lil tot is getting bigger and BIGGER by the day! My mom is surprised at how much she is kicking! She is a strong ‘lil tot.
Here’s a quick little update on the past few baby weeks, as well as my top foods for a plant-based pregnancy. No matter what your diet consists of, we can all eat more veggies and we can especially be more conscious about our food choices while pregnant.
Leafy Greens – lots of iron and folate
Ginger – calms nausea
Mushrooms – fights infections and pain
Prunes – keeps the digestion flowing smoothly
Tempeh – whole soy, great for plant-based protein
Walnuts – healthy fat for baby brain development
Pumpkin Seeds – high in iron
Navy Beans – high in iodine, protein, and fiber
Almonds – healthy fat for brain development
Sesame Seeds – highest amount of calcium of any food
Quinoa – Satisfies hunger, and high in iron
Flaxseed – Best omgea 3 fat for brain development and nursing
Oats – great for promoting lactation and very satiating
