Free Recipes & Tips

I’ve had a number of conversations with clients recently about the need for a convenient and portable snack box meal prep lunch – one that doesn’t have to be heated up, can be eaten with one hand or on the go. As well, for my own situation, I am wanting more ’snacky’ type meals in the third trimester due to feeling full very quickly. These types of meals will also be very handy postpartum when I may only have one hand available. 

As usual, all of these recipes are rich in protein (over 20 g of protein per box) and fibre (over 8 g fibre per box).

If you have a sweet tooth like me and are looking for quick and easy sweet snacks that are filling (containing protein and fibre) then this post is for you!

A hack to simplifying meal prep is to make recipes directly in these single serve glass meal prep containers! This way of meal prepping is perfect if you’re just prepping for one or two people, if you craving variety in your meal preps or if you simply want easier recipes with less cleanup! I was able to make all of these recipes in about 1.5 hours. I also used similar ingredients for all of them, allowing for a short grocery lists, saving time and money.

I have to say, this pregnancy has been a good and fairly easy one. I have been lucky –
but also I have been hyper-focused on diet and lifestyle goals that have hopefully aided
in helping me avoid common pregnancy-related complications. Read more below! #AD

I have been focusing on key nutrients in my diet and through my supplementation
regime that I do believe have helped reduce and avoid common complications during
pregnancy. These include:

Magnesium: Getting adequate magnesium has assisted with good sleep, avoiding
muscle cramps, constipation and maintaining good blood pressure. I’m focusing on soy
products, legumes, nuts, seeds and whole grains each day, plus supplementing with
Megafood Magnesium at nighttime.

Calcium: Getting adequate calcium has helped me avoid leg cramps and joint pain. I
consume fortified plant milk and tofu most days. In addition I take the Megafood
Calcium & Magnesium & Potassium at night, for a calcium boost.

B Vitamins: Focusing on both B6 (which helps with morning sickness) and B12 (which
helps with energy levels) have also been a focus. For B6-rich foods, chickpeas,
potatoes, nuts and bananas have been a staple. For B12 foods, nutritional yeast,
fortified plant milks have been focuses. In the morning, I take the Megafood B
Complex.

I’m working on building up a freezer stash of meals for after baby comes so each week I’m going to be freezing a few meals from my meal preps – while eating the rest of the meals throughout the week. The majority of the ingredients in these meals are that are purchased from Costco. The recipes have short ingredient lists, are high in protein and fibre and they are delicious!

These oatmeal cups are part of a balanced breakfast or can be a great protein and fibre rich snack!
