Pregnancy Snack Time

Snack Time, Again
Peanuts, pretzels, unsalted popcorn, whatever it is you're hungry for will improve your creativity as the day wears on. Keeping it interesting doesn't need to be complicated. How about adding trail mix to your dietary agenda? What about a smoothie?

Trail Mix

You will need:
1 cup of your favorite nuts, all one kind or a mixture
1 Tbsp raisins
1 Tbsp dried cranberries
3 dried apricot halves, chopped
1 Tbsp shredded coconut
½ cup whole grain dry cereal

Directions:
Toss them all in a resealable sandwich bag, give them a quick shake, and start munching.

Makes two servings. Find a friend to share with, or seal it up for a future snack. This one holds up well for a few days.

Smooth Mood Smoothie

You will need:
4 - 6 ounces of low fat yogurt (your favorite flavor)
½ cup berries or bananas
2 ounces of low fat milk

Directions:
Pop it all in the blender (or use a hand held blender) and pulse until the mixture reaches your desired smoothness. Drink down that delicious goodness.

Serves one. Want a frozen treat? Substitute low fat frozen yogurt for regular yogurt.
