Two Easy Snacks: Green Tropical Smoothie & Goat Cheese Crackers

For both early pregnancy nausea PLUS gestational diabetes blood-sugar management. Enjoy!

Voila! Two recipes that I developed for our gestational diabetes meal plans, that I’ve decided to share with you. They are also fantastic for helping with nausea. And also they are delicious — I enjoy this smoothie every single morning.

Smoothies are great for nausea, because when foods are frozen, it subdues the smells and flavors. And you can add protein-rich seeds and nuts to make it creamy and balance your blood sugar. Blending in frozen spinach, which is naturally slightly sweet, adds tons of iron and calcium to your smoothie – crucial for the creation of bones and teeth, as well as transporting oxygen to your baby.

The smoothie ingredients are loaded with B6 too, which is very helpful for many people with extreme nausea. Learn more about this here: “Is B6 a cure for morning sickness?”

Add pumpkin seeds, Greek yogurt and/or walnuts to make a creamy, protein-rich smoothie that will help moderate your blood sugar levels and give you the fuel you need for success.
