Energy Boosting Snacks?

bethforeman · August 2015

I have had to snack throughout the day (instead of "bigger meals") because little man must be pushing up against my stomach. I have no appetite but feel like I eat all the time now lol I've been drinking less than 200mg of caffeine a day as my dr suggested (I did this with my 2 other pregnancies too, my kids are fine lol ) but I recently cut out caffeine & omg I can't make it through the day, especially with it being summer vacation and tending to my other 2 kiddos... I just made a small cup of blueberries, yogurt, & granola... It surprisingly gave me a boost of energy. Anyone have any recipes/snack ideas to help me through the last 9 weeks!? Lol SOS!

I have this pinned for future reference. I haven't made anything from it specifically, but I have made energy balls with oats, flax, chia, and other goodness. A lot of these look really good!

Are you okay with nuts? I find that sometimes just having a handful of walnuts, cashews, pistachios, etc really give me a little boost when I don't feel like eating a full meal. Also, lots of protein! Milk, eggs, yogurt, etc.

Apples and PB! Or 1/2 bagel with PB and banana. Clearly I love Pb. Protein is what keeps me alert.

Protein! Almond or peanut butter and fruit (apples, bananas and blueberries are my go-to) on whole grain toast or bagel.

DH has a smoothie he makes call the Hulk that uses protein powder, almond milk (or your preference), peanut butter, frozen bananas and honey. Sometimes I add just a pinch of nutmeg. Tastes like a PB and banana sandwich and gives me tons of energy.

Yesterday I made a quinoa salad and I felt so good afterwards. I have never been a huge fan of quinoa but this salad is super yummy.
