Cravings!

One difference in this pregnancy is that I have been super hungry. Maybe I was with the last go around but just don't remember. Either way, I am constantly snacking! I found a couple of pretty good options:
Loving this sparkling water:

No sodium, No artificial sweeteners, No calories

I usually serve it over crushed ice in a wine glass with a lime. It makes me feel special.

 My friend Emily introduced me to this stuff!  Loving this popcorn! I'm a huge popcorn eater. My usual is Pop Secret Homestyle, but I'm loving this instead because there is "No artificial anything" and basically lists all the reasons why you should eat it on the back. Only 39 calories per cup.

This is my favorite brand of frozen Edamame. It is an individual size and is around 100 calories with 9 grams of protein. My girls love it as well!

 Sadie and Sophie's new fave :

My MIL introduced us to Silk Almond milk.  The girls love the individual sizes.


And I have to post this new recipe that I tried out this week! Lynn and I loved this little sweetness:

No-Bake Energy Bites

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutes

Yield: About 3 dozen

Ingredients

• 1 cup (dry) oatmeal (I used old-fashioned oats)
• 2/3 cup toasted coconut flakes
• 1/2 cup peanut butter
• 1/2 cup ground flaxseed or wheat germ
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips or cacao nibs (optional)
• 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
• 1 Tbsp. chia seeds (optional) - I didn't use these
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract

Method

Stir all ingredients together in a medium bowl until thoroughly mixed. Cover and let chill in the refrigerator for half an hour.

Once chilled, roll into balls of whatever size you would like. (Mine were about 1" in diameter.) Store in an airtight container and keep refrigerated for up to 1 week.

Makes about 20-25 balls.

Try these! They are awesome!

XXOO,
