14 Mini Meals

14 Mini-Meals for Pregnant and Postpartum Moms

When eating seems particularly difficult, try small amounts several times a day. This will discourage nausea and heartburn and be easier to eat when you are super busy. Being creative when you don't feel good or don't have the energy just doesn't happen, so here are some nutritious suggestions for mini-meals.

  1. Half a whole-wheat bagel with any nut butter, tahini or grass fed butter
  2. Yogurt shake made with vanilla yogurt, fruit, ice and if you want/need, add a scoop or vegan or whey protein
  3. Hard-boiled egg sliced onto a small salad
  4. Cup of chicken noodle soup and a square of whole-grain cornbread
  5. Tofu/chicken or tuna salad on a whole-wheat roll
  6. Small bran muffin (homemade or one you trust to be wholesome) and a tangerine
  7. Toast with guacamole
  8. Half a turkey sandwich in pita bread with sliced tomato and sprouts
  9. Cup of ginger tea and the other half of that whole-wheat bagel.
  10. Cold leftover chicken from last night with a few dried apricots
  11. Bowl of whole-grain cereal with any milk or choice
  12. Small bowl of low-fat granola topped with half a banana and a dollop of yogurt
  13. Open-faced broiled low-fat cheese on whole-wheat toast
  14. Instant oatmeal with nuts and 1/2c. of fruit
