Here are five of our favorite pregnancy-safe, healthy snacks!
1) Whole Wheat Bagel w/ Cream Cheese and Fruit
Whole grain bagels have more fiber and essential minerals that white bagels are stripped of in the refining process. The antioxidants in fruit like strawberries and blueberries will give you a sweet energy boost without the crash later.

2) Cottage Cheese w/ Fruit
Cottage cheese is packed with vitamin B-12 and protein (which is an essential building block for your body to create new cells) while fruits like kiwi and pineapple are chock-full of vitamin C to help give your immune system a boost.

Apples are full of Vitamin C for an immune system boost and peanut butter provides a healthy dose of yummy protein!
