Fueling Your Journey: Essential Nutrition for a Healthy Pregnancy and Postpartum Recovery… Fried Eggs, Veggies, and Sourdough!

This time it’s fried eggs, sausage, veggies, and guac on sourdough bread. I really wanted to give you a look at a breakfast that I highly recommend really anytime, BUT, is perfect to help you fuel your prenatal or postpartum journey. Here’s why:

🍳Egg yolks (yes even runny eggs) have choline which is needed for baby’s nervous system development
🫑Bell pepper has so much Vitamin C which is needed for for baby’s teeth and bones and for mom to absorb iron
🥬Red chard has vitamin A which is needed for organ function and immune support along with Vitamin K which is needed for blood clotting and bone building
🥑Guac has fiber and nutritious fats which is needed for proper gut health
🍞Sourdough because it makes me happy lol
