So I seem to be hungry ALL THE TIME! I hear morning sickness tends to kick in around week 6 (which I will be on Friday) but as of right now I just can't seem to curb the hunger. I'm trying to drink plenty of water and eat smaller meals more often but I'd love to hear what works for you! I want a few different go to snacks so it doesn't get old. Anyone have some healthy snack ideas? I'll even take small meal options!
I love apple slices sprinkled with a little cinnamon. It stops them from browning so quickly so I can prepare at home and just have the snack bag of apples ready to go. I also buy single servings of hummus with chips or cucumbers.
I keep a little container of almonds with me. I just have lightly salted ones but they have tons on favors depending on your mood. I find they give me a little bit of energy and help with some of the nausea I've been having so far.
I have a bag of dried apricots that I've been loving lately They have a good bit of fiber, too, which is helpful. Nuts, applesauce/cottage cheese mixed together, yogurt. Those are my go-tos.
Kashi crackers and skim milk string cheese Fage greek yogurt Apple with cinnamon - if you heat it up in the microwave for about 2 minutes and let it cool, it cooks the apples down like in apple pie Kashi granola bars Mixed fruit
Another favorite, but not recommended if you're suffering from smells - I microwave about 2 oz of egg whites with some pepper and put it on a piece of bread or half an english muffin.
Cottage cheese is great since it's packed with protein. I keep almonds on hand as well as freeze dried strawberries. Apple and peanut butter is good too.
