What’s for breakfast?
By week 35, you get tired faster and you want to start resting up for labor. Therefore, it’s a great time to try simple and healthy, easy-to-make breakfasts.
Chocolate can help improve your mood, though but its effectiveness as an antidepressant has not been proven scientifically. But chocolate may be useful for the prevention of preeclampsia [1]. So treat yourself to a cup of cocoa with milk [2] (and preferably no sugar) to start the day.
Other fun and easy breakfast ideas:
Overnight Oats. Soak oats in water or milk in the evening and refrigerate overnight. Delicious! And oats contain the probiotics and fiber that will protect you from constipation and your baby from allergies;
Bulgur or couscous (also soaked overnight). Serves the same function as oatmeal and provides choice and variety;
Green salad and celery stalks. You need them to maintain your health and your baby needs them for brain development;
Bananas. A most delicious source of probiotics and B vitamins [3];
Yogurt with berries. Prebiotics and probiotics in one glass. Plus, iron and vitamin C. This will help you fight fatigue;
Mix and match for variety. You can mix yogurt with oatmeal. Add a banana. Or you can chop the greens and mix with bulgur.
