Nutritious meals for a celiac during pregnancy

in Health & Exercise

Well hello all!!!

I am wondering what you guys are doing for nutrition during your pregnancy.

 I have been wanting to get on a more conscious diet and here is what I have so far:

Gluten free Hummus with veggie dippers( good protien nutirents, fiber and veggies)

Cheese pieces and gluten free crackers or apple slices

yogurt berry smoothie( I also sneak my liquid vitamin supplement into this)

Gluten free oatmeal with milk and a little honey for sweetness

cottage cheese and sliced fruit

almond butter( I am also allergic to peanuts) and apple slices or gluten free bread

Quinoa  with seared salmon.

 

Any other ideas would be great, Especially for quick on the go meals!

    I'm not a celiac, but I don't eat grains (and didn't for my last pregnancy). 

    Eggs were a staple in my diet.  I had them every morning for breakfast, often with veggies mixed in.  You can make egg cupcakes ahead of time and freeze.  Hard boiled eggs too!

    For snacks I ate mostly nuts and dried fruit.  Lara bars were great to have stashed places.

    I also ate a lot of salads and crudite that I fixed ahead of time.

    I also would double recipes and freeze half so I would have a dinner ready to go on the nights I was too tired to cook.  Recipes that I often did this with:  meatloaf, meatballs, moussaka, pizza/marinara sauce, taco meat, chili.  Add a salad and you are done.

    For desert, all I wanted was grape or coconut popsicles.

    Here are two of my favorite sites with recipes:

    everyday paleo

    I am anxious to hear responses. I am also diary-intolerant and just got hit with nausea really bad! All I want is Ritz crackers with sliced cheese and I can't have either :*( wahhhhhh

    I just ate almost an entire package of sesame rice crackers... maybe its time to go to the store!

    I don't eat any different between pregnant and nonpregnant.   I eat alot of whole grain quinoa, oatmeal, millet and corn.  I load up on greek yogurt and fruit.  I live off of Udi's bread products, so I eat hamburgers, hotdogs, sandwiches, etc - you name it.  All extremely healthy.   I also eat more nuts now than I did before - partly because Costco almonds rock....

    Glutino makes a table cracker that is awesome - so I eat those with cheese or some sort of spread (costco makes an awesome greek yogurt w/ chive and onion).

    I also load up on gluten free pizza crusts from Namaste - stick them in my freezer and throw them on the grill once a week - you name it for toppings - veggies, meats, etc.  YUM.
