Fast and simple meals for expectant mothers


Pregnancy is a beautiful phase of life and as an expectant mother, you’re bound to feel strong cravings for varieties of meals. You may also feel too tired to cook your desired meal at home that you resort to having your cravings curbed by ordering in. hellofood.com suggests a variety of fast meals that you can indulge in and enjoy, even when expecting.

Salad: Fruit or vegetable salads are good. Load up on vegetables such as spinach, carrots, tomatoes, celery, cucumbers and zucchini and with fruits. There are a lot of varieties to choose from. However, be aware of what you are allergic to and stay away from them.

Pizza: Treat yourself to this, once in a while. There are many healthy options and you also get to choose your toppings. Choose chicken instead of pepperoni or meat balls, add flavour with peppers, mushrooms, corn, spinach or herbs, depending on how you want it. Choose feta cheese instead of higher saturated fat three-cheese pizza to keep the calories down.

Sandwich: Ask for leaner meats of chicken or turkey, load on the veggies and go easy on ranch-type sauces. Try mustard instead. Whole grain bread or less carbohydrate-rich wraps are also a better choice

Whole grains: Whole grains are nutritious and rich in fibre. They are also easy to digest and have low calory counts.

Carrots: Carrots are rich in vitamin C. They are good for the body and skin as well. So, if you want to maintain your glowing skin during pregnancy, take a lot of carrots.
