Food

[bertine]

So, morning sickness? Mostly gone. Yay!

Heartburn? Okay if I avoid some foods and take medication if it gets bad.

Hopefully this means I will stop losing weight (I am down 18 pounds!) and will start gaining again.

However, I still can't eat much in one sitting. If I don't eat every couple of hours I get that weird jittery feeling that happens when you haven't eaten in a while. So I need more snacking stuff. I still have a food aversion to meat or anything really fatty. However, tuna is okay. Any suggestions? Brussel sprouts aren't going to give me enough calories. Ha!

Also, I was thinking about making smoothies. I am not usually one to drink/eat them but it might be a good way to get some healthy calories into me while I drive to work. Any one ever do this before? Just an FYI, orange juice is out. The other option is to talk Amy into going to Jamba Juice one day.

Hooray smoothies! I kind of stunk at making them until I figured out the right order to add the ingredients. Here's the pattern I use:

1. 1 single serving (6 oz) cup of vanilla yogurt (I use the Target archer farms kind)
2. 1 to 1.5 cups total of frozen fruit in any combo
3. .5 cup (4oz) of juice (I use orange juice, but have apple juice that works rad w/ strawberries)

Pulse blend this to chop up the frozen fruit. The mix will be way too thick to fully blend sooooo

4. Add in a whole fresh banana

This ingredient order was outlined by Mark Bittman in a cookbook and it's always made really excellent smoothies. The banana helps. Happy smoothie-ing!
