If you're one of the unfortunate sufferers of morning sickness (or all day sickness) then you will know how hard it must be to face certain foods! I posted the same post in the First Trimester when I was in it, and just thought it was time to pass my tips on again!
Your 5 a day are any 5 portions of different fruits or vegetables.
The easiest way to get fruit into your diet, is to make smoothies!
Smoothies/Juices
- Choose any 5 different fruits
- Chop them up
- Put them in a blender
- Add half a pint of water
- Blend them up
- (Add a tiny bit of sugar if you're a sweet tooth like me!)
- Drink throughout the day!
These work brilliantly with toast for breakfast. It's healthy, energizing, and kick-starts your body.
You can do the same with milkshakes, just add milk instead of water!
Soup
Works the same way as the smoothies, just with vegetables!
My favorites were broccoli and cheese (grate the cheese first) and potato and leek.
Remember to add plenty water to create desired thickness, broccoli sludge is never nice!
Also add a tiny bit of salt.
You can also add any seasonings or herbs you wish to.
You can also mix and match, for example, have a 3 fruit smoothie for breakfast and a 2 vegetable soup for lunch!
I found the above ideas very easy and useful when there was nothing much I could face in the morning!
Hope this helps all of you, remember to keep giving baby plenty of nutrients!
