Constipation during pregnancy can be extremely uncomfortable and is common with studies finding 20-30% of women deal with constipation at some point during their pregnancy.

There are various reasons this occurs and can be due to:
๐Ÿค Progesterone, this hormone rises in pregnancy & slows motility to allow for more nutrient absorption in the small intestine
๐Ÿค The growing uterus can place pressure on organs
๐Ÿค Prenatal supplements which contain iron & some morning sickness medications can increase constipation

If youโ€™re after a great electrolyte I love .co and their cola flavour ๐Ÿ’•

Formula for a hormone balancing smoothie
๐Ÿซ๐Ÿ“๐Ÿซ

With summer coming, smoothies become a staple for many of us! Theyโ€™re such an easy way to pack in nutrients to your day ๐Ÿ™ˆ

The most common mistake I see with smoothies, is when theyโ€™re loaded with fruit, fruit & more fruit. This can be a recipe for disaster when it comes to our blood sugar levels & energy levels.

When making a smoothie itโ€™s important to think of balancing it out as you would a main meal with a source of healthy fats, complex carbs & protein.

Swipe across to see examples of what you can include to create your next smoothie thatโ€™ll leave you feeling energised & full for hours ๐ŸŒผ๐ŸŒธ

I get it, youโ€™re standing at the yoghurt section in the fridge & the options are endless ๐Ÿซ  Where do you start for your little one??

Marketing can be confusing, so I wanted to help give you some options that you can choose from that will satisfy your little one & support their health ๐Ÿฅฐ

I aways check the back of yoghurt for protein, sugars & calcium content. In terms of sugar, always keep in mind 1 teaspoon = 4g of sugar.

The recommended dietary intake of calcium for children aged:
- 7-12 months is 270mg
- 1-3 years is 500 mg
- 4-8 years is 700 mg
- 9-11 years is 1,000 mg

Iโ€™ll be honest Iโ€™ve been scared to share my go-to fav snacks because thereโ€™s always going to be better options out there & sometimes I feel like nutrition can cop a lot of heat ๐Ÿ™ˆ

Of course making your own snacks is always better ๐Ÿ™ˆ However, when you find yourself a little peckish or craving something sweet in the afternoon & you havenโ€™t pre-made any treats these are my GO-TO options just from the shops โœจ

Health has to be maintainable & if you canโ€™t enjoy a little sweet treat without feeling guilty then itโ€™s not going to be maintainable!

A little tip when choosing packaged snacks always check how much sugar they contain ๐Ÿ’ฅ
The WHO recommends women have no more than 6 tsp. of added sugar per day (1 tsp. = 4g). So I try & stick to sweet packaged snacks with less than 2 tsp. of added sugars, where possible ๐Ÿฅฐ

Cooking & freezing meals & snacks during my 3rd trimester for when remy arrived is something I pat past alex on the back for ๐Ÿ˜‚ I wondered if I was going overboard with my cooking but I canโ€™t tell you how amazing it was having home cooked, nutritious & delicious meals ready to go when we were in our newborn bubble ๐Ÿฅฐ

Slow cooked meals are especially important during the postpartum period, because itโ€™s easier for your body to digest & absorb nutrients ๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’• This means your body can utilise the nutrients a lot easier ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป

After a rough few weeks of gastro and sickness Remy went completely off his food! Today has been the first day heโ€™s been excited and wanting food again! So naturally I got excited and made some yummy muffins for him inspired by Banana, Oat & Quinoa baked cups recipe ๐ŸŒธโœจ

Quinoa is an amazing source of complex carbs, complete protein, dietary fibre, magnesium, iron, folate, zinc & antioxidants! Sneaking quinoa into these yummy muffins is a great idea for any children who are fussy and picky with their food!

RECIPE
* 1 C oats, blended **
* 1/4 C rolled oats **
* 1/4 C almond milk **
* 2 bananas mashed
* 1 cup cooked quinoa
* 1 egg **
* 1 tsp. cinnamon
* 1 tsp. baking powder

*** I have used allergens in my recipe as remy has been exposed to these foods, so just be mindful when cooking for your little ones๐Ÿ˜Š

Many of us skip breakfast, or grab a slice of toast with butter and Vegemite as we race out the door ๐Ÿ™ˆ I get it, life gets busy and itโ€™s hard to know what to eat thatโ€™s quick and easy but also healthy!

However, breakfast sets us up for the rest of the day, so it's super important to start your day with a nutritious breakfast that contains a balance of complex carbs, protein & healthy fats. This helps stabilise our blood sugar levels for the day to avoid those energy spikes and crashes.

๐ŸŒธ My personal fav is Bircher - a great balanced breakfast you can make sunday night for the next few days, great for mummas who need to quickly pop something into a bowl and eat!

โœจ PB & banana on toast is definitely my go-to comfort food breakfast or snack! I don't know what it is about PB and banana it just hits that comfort spot, whilst also being super nutritious !
