Did you know that chia means strength in the Mayan Did you know that chia means strength in the Mayan language and Aztec warriors actually use to eat them for energy and endurance 😯
⠀⠀
If there’s ever a time we need endurance and energy it’s during pregnancy right❓

These tiny seeds are super rich in fibre and slow the conversion of carbs to sugar right down providing us with  a nice slow release of energy, stabilising our blood sugars and helping to avoid the highs and lows. 😁 
⠀⠀
It’s not just fibre either, Chia seeds are loaded with calcium and protein too. In fact if you don’t get on with dairy and you’re wondering where to get your calcium from, look 👀 no further. About 3 tbsp of Chia Seeds contain roughly the same amount of calcium you’ll find in a glass of milk 🥛 🤩 

This is My FAVE CHIA PUDDING RECIPE and one that is so simple to prep the night before 👇👇
💯 % Natural and no refined Sugars either! ⠀⠀
Serves 2 
INGREDIENTS:
⠀⠀
5 oz strawberries 🍓 & blueberries 🫐 frozen is perfect, let them thaw over night snd blend up with a little maple syrup to sweeten 😋 
1 cup milk 🥛 vegan alternative almond, oat milk or soy. 
1/2 cup natural yogurt 
4 tbsp chia seeds
_______________________
⠀⠀
1️⃣Divide chia seeds into two small glasses ⠀⠀
2️⃣ cover with the yogurt and top with milk. Give a good stir ⠀⠀
3️⃣Place in fridge for four hours or over night
⠀⠀
4️⃣When ready to eat top with berries and dig in. 😋

Are you new to living a plant based lifestyle 🌱 Are you new to living a plant based lifestyle 🌱? 

If you're  new to a plant based diet, it can be  easy to just choose the vegan version of foods believing them to be the healthier option and yet they’re still massively lacking in minerals and vitamins.

It’s not just about cutting out the meat products but ensuring we include a wide range of healthy foods too and this is ABSOLUTELY CRUCIAL DURING PREGNANCY!! I CAN'T STATE THIS ENOUGH ❗ ❗ ❗

Whilst we don't need to eat for two we do need to increase our calorie intake as our pregnancy progresses. 

Pregnant Women need to consume the following additional calories throughout their pregnancy, depending on their lifestyle and BMI at the start of the pregnancy – every pregnancy is different, so just remember what may be normal for your friend, may not be suitable for you.  I'm also not a big advocate for counting calories so treat the below as a rough guide. 

2000 calories each day during the first trimester (or the same as normal, depending on lifestyle)

2200 calories a day during the second trimester (200 extra a day)

2400 during their third trimester (400 additional calories per day over their normal level)

To illustrate how easy, it is to achieve the additional calories with vegan food here is a list of vegan snacks that contain 200 calories

◾Cashew Nuts 36g✔️
◾Walnuts 15 halves ✔️
◾Brazil nuts 6 whole nuts ✔️
◾Dark Chocolate 3 squares ✔️
◾Coconut Milk 35ml ✔️
◾Avocado half a large one✔️
◾Black beans 60g✔️
◾Baked Beans 130g✔️
◾Whole-wheat Bread 3 slices✔️
