If you want to prevent EXCESS WEIGHT GAIN so that you can lose all your baby weight super fast postpartum, then you have to make an effort to eat healthy. Not perfect, not diet, just make good and healthy choices.
What you eat affects your baby as well. And so does exercise, check this out…
I did my Fit Mom-to-Be Workouts during both my pregnancies and only gained 20 lbs in each and lost it all in less than a month. But it’s not just me, check this out…
If you exercise moderately and make good food choices, you will not gain a lot of weight and if you don’t then yo will be able to enjoy your pregnancy so much more.
You will have less aches and pains, you won’t be so uncomfortable at the end, you will have more energy and sleep better, you will have an easier and faster labor and delivery and you will lose all your baby weight so much faster.
Today, I want to give you a really yummy and super easy recipe to make for a healthy snack. Because if you can leave your house prepared with healthy snacks, that is half the battle.
It can be so easy to eat healthy and feel good if you want to.
I also made sure to add PROTEIN to the recipe, because protein is so important.
I used mPower because it is the best pregnancy protein powder.
mPower is protein powder specifically formulated for pregnancy and breastfeeding.
It was created with a doctor and its not only the most delicious protein powder you have EVER tried…. but it also counts as your prenatal.
And an added plus is it has all the B vitamins which helps with nausea and morning sickness, also helps with energy and if weight gain is a problem… it helps with that because it helps combat cortisol which is normally high during pregnancy because we aren’t sleeping enough, not quality sleep, we are under stress.. and when cortisol is high, it makes it easier to gain BELLY FAT…
And what prego needs more belly fat? lol
Did I mention how delicious it is?
It also has prebiotics, probiotics and digestive enzymes…
So if you normally get gassy and bloated and constipated from protein powders… this is a game changer.
Plus, digestion affects weight gain and weight loss.
When you fix digestion… its easier to not pile on the pounds because you can burn fat more effectively… and digestive enzymes and probiotics will help with that.
Did, I tell you that its insanely good and also helps crush cravings?

These are a great snack to use on the go during your pregnancy. They refrigerate great for about a week and they freeze awesome also. So you can make 2 dozen at a time and freeze one and keep the other in your fridge for a quick on the go yummy and healthy snack.
Remember, that going too long without eating is what makes us feel terrible during pregnancy. You can’t let too much time go by in between meals or you will feel sick.

I hope you love these as much as I do. I actually ate these all throughout both my pregnancies and I also froze like 4 dozen right before I had the baby so that I had HEALTHY SNACKS for when I was nursing in the middle of the night with those HUNGER PANGS.
