What My Pregnant Self is Eating 1/17

Any cravings? Healthy recipes that are making you feel good? Foods that are helping ease symptoms? Found any cool substitutions for foods you can’t eat while prego? 

Re: What My Pregnant Self is Eating 1/17

  • Lately, plain Greek yogurt with chia and coconut granola for some extra fiber. 

    Has anyone else hit the bowl of cereal cravings part of pregnancy yet? Lol.

    @HGRich cereal is life when pregnant 🫶🏻 when I was having my son I’d eat 2 bowls for breakfast haha!  don’t eat that much anymore but it’s usually my late night snack before bed! I need to get some more I go through cereal brand phases 🤣
  • Cereal was one of my first cravings, with Cap’n Crunch early on 😆 not the most nutritious choice, I know! I have a bowl of some other (slightly less sugary) cereal most days now, though. 
  • I love spicy sriracha veggie sticks. Anything crunchy. and salsa! On everything .

    Also, not a craving, but eating a lot of hard boiled eggs as a quick and easy protein source without a very eggy smell.


  • @louloumama I’ve had so many boiled eggs too. I keep telling myself I need to chill on those because if I get GD again I’ll be eating them constantly. Lol. 
  • The other day I mixed walnuts and pickles together.

    The day before that I topped some ancient grain crackers with cream cheese and sardines lol.

    I weirdly enjoyed them!
  • Another fave: basic pasta, tomato sauce, and ground beef. Probably my favourite dinner option. It’s so basic but so gooooood.
  • Lately, my go-to comfort craving has been the simplest of foods, like grilled cheese sandwiches with a side of pickles. I swear, there's something magic about that combo during pregnancy that just hits the spot. And speaking of healthy recipes, I've been really into making smoothies loaded with spinach, berries, a banana, and a splash of almond milk. It's like my morning ritual now to combat queasiness and keep those vitamins coming in for the little one.

    I've also had to find a workaround for my love of sushi - cue the cucumber rolls and avocado rolls! They’ve been a fantastic substitute when I'm dining out with friends, and I don’t feel like I’m missing out on the sushi experience.
