4. Cheese
Cheese is packed full of calcium, which our growing babies desperately need to grow their little bones. You can snack on cheese sticks, or put some cheese slices on some crackers. They’re also great for adding a little bit of protein in your diet as well. I love eating a some cheese with apples. The combination is incredibly tasty and fills me up a little more than just eating an apple by itself. Just make sure your cheeses are all pasteurized!
5. Crackers
Crackers can be a staple in a pregnant woman’s diet, especially during the first trimester to help with morning sickness. They are certainly healthier than eating chips, but still give you that crunch. You can also eat some cheese on the crackers, hummus and even peanut butter to add more flavor, all of which will give more nutritional value to your snack as well.
6. Peanut Butter
Some people may frown upon peanut butter because it is high in fat, however it can be a great healthy snack when used in moderation. It has a lot of protein which will keep you feeling fuller longer. Also, it’s perfect for those moments that you feel you need something a little sweet or dessert-like. You can eat it plain off of a spoon, slap it on some crackers, or even dip your apple slices in it for some added protein.
