Hummus For You

Let’s Make Some Hummy Hum

Aka Hummus

Are you catching what I’m throwing down? I’m really into foods that are high in protein and fiber.

This is good for all humans, but it’s especially good for the pregnant ones. 

Finding yummy and healthy ways to consume more fiber and protein is beneficial to your nutrient deprived body, compressed intestines, and growing babe. 

A pregnant (and breastfeeding) body will always prioritize the baby leaving very little left for the mother.

(wait- isn’t this the whole dilemma of motherhood!!!- More on that later)

In the meantime, here’s a tasty lil treat for you, mama. Take some space for yourself before that sweet child of yours leaches it all away.
