Apple slices with PB and Granola

Being pregnant is a beautiful experience. A blessing. Feeling your little bun grow inside you is truly amazing. That being said, it does come with a few not-so-fun side effects. Currently, the biggest ailment I'm experiencing is heartburn/acid reflux. The muscles in the body relax and acid isn't kept down as well as it used to be. There are a few things to help with this. Tums is GODSEND. Not laying down after you eat helps a ton. Eating clean (no greasy, spicy or processed foods) helps a lot as well.

I was craving a crunchy, healthy snack. I've seen photos of this snack before and decided to give it a try.

Apple Slices with PB and Granola

Ingredients:

Any apple

Any nut butter

Granola

Instructions:

- Slice apples and core them (I took off the rubber piece of a baster and used the round part. It worked!)

- Spread your favorite nut butter (as much or as little as you want)

- Sprinkle granola

VOILA!

So easy and so delicious. A feel-good snack :)

Rice Crackers with Almond Butter

If I've got rice crackers and almond butter laying around, I put them together for a super easy and healthy snack. My favorite are brown rice crackers, but I don't have any right now. Plain rice cracker rolls will have to do.

Strawberry Banana Smoothie

I love smoothies. They're just an easy way to have some variety in our diet. It's also an easy way to use up fruit and veggies that are sitting in the fridge just asking to be eaten. This recipe is super easy and something I know all three of us will enjoy.

I have been trying to provide healthy snacks for Christopher. Cheerios, bread and crackers are too easy to hand to him. Sure, they're easy to give, but I feel guilty feeding it to him every day.
