👋🏻 Hi pregnant mamas or honestly, anyone trying to just eat better!

I whipped this up really quick because I see so many posts in my mom’s group that are about dieting and honestly, it breaks my heart. It’s not to blame or shame anyone, there’s $1 billion diet industry that has confused everyone without a degree in nutrition.

I did this to shine some light and provide some clarity.

Pregnancy is not the time for restriction — it’s about smart, nutrient-rich nourishment.

Targeted support, if needed.

Happy 10th birthday to my lil lovebug. 🥰 🐶 She never met a mouth she didn’t want to make out with 😅. Definitely was reincarnated from a baby and doesn’t realize she’s not a dog. Fostered her 5 years ago and she was too perfect not to keep. I’m the only one who loves her stinky breath as a Mother should 😁

S M O O T H I E S (and why yours might not be working).

After talking to hundreds of people across the country, I’ve seen the same pattern over and over……

You’re putting in the effort to blend a smoothie… but it’s not keeping you full, balanced, or energized.

Why? Because it’s often missing the key components to make it a true meal.

Most smoothies are too light → cue the blood sugar crash + 10AM hunger.

So I created a formula to fix that.
Simple. Balanced. Certified Nutrition Specialist-approved.

• Protein (20–30g)
• Healthy fats (1–2 Tbsp)
• Fiber (1–2 Tbsp)
• Low-glycemic fruit (¼–½ cup)
• Greens (½–1 cup)
• Liquid (8–10 oz)
• Optional boosters (small amounts)

Use it as a guide — it doesn’t have to be perfect every time. But if you’re taking the time to blend it, let it work for you.

Save this. Share it. Start blending smarter.

Grateful for cozy soups carrying me through pregnancy—especially when my appetite’s been all over the place. Swipe to the end to see how my hair caught on fire while making it 😆

This one might not look gourmet, but trust me—it’s so good. Even my Diet Coke-loving, pizza puff-obsessed, city worker (they know the best eats) husband went back for seconds. I was genuinely shocked!

But here’s why I’m obsessed: it’s protein-packed, fiber-rich, and full of minerals—basically everything I need right now in one bowl.

I loosely followed a recipe, but then went full nutritionist and boosted it with some functional upgrades:
• Pre-cooked spicy chicken
• Bone broth
• Okra
• Edamame/mung bean noodles

Each serving has 25–30g of protein and 14g+ fiber. Nourishing, filling, and pregnancy-friendly—aka exactly what I need for lunch when my appetite is low but my body still needs the support.

Grateful for decorating. It gets me through the dark winters. Not grateful for the couch pictured because although it is really chic, it is the most uncomfortable thing I’ve ever sat on.
