What are your go-to late night snacks for pregnancy? I keep getting super hungry a few hours after dinner and my go-to with DD was usually something sweet or peanut butter toast, but I'm pretty burnt out on toast this time around. I need semi-healthy ideas!
-
@fussygal: what about a kind bar or nuts?
...but then again, I had cheddar Ruffles tonight
Super healthy...
-
I'm hungrier now that I'm breastfeeding and I just ate vanilla ice cream with Cinnamon Toast Crunch on top. Not healthy at all, but so so DELISH
-
End of my pregnancy (and now breastfeeding) I would melt together peanut butter and Nutella and using it as a dip for sliced apples.
-
@HLK208: those are good ideas! Especially the nuts because all the pieces make me feel like I'm getting more than I am!
@peaches1038: Oh man, breastfeeding hunger is INTENSE! I wish I was one of those people that lost a bunch of weight breastfeeding lol.
-
@lovehoneybee:
I want that! Nutella and cookie butter are my weaknesses.
-
I've been eating lots of clementines, carrots with ranch, sour patch kids, banana with peanut butter, applesauce pouches, yogurt, peanuts in the shell, or just a small serving of whatever we had for dinner. Fried egg on toast or avocado toast too.
-
@fussygal: *burnt* out on toast?! LOL! Sorry. I'm sleep deprived. I ate a ton of plain saltines. Not healthy but I heart them!
-
Cheese slices, apple slices, and a handful of Ritz crackers if I just need a little carby-crunch.
-
I eat lots of cereal as my evening snack!
-
Hard boiled eggs, string cheese, leftovers from dinner, apple slices, anything easy to grab! I've been woken up by hunger around 3am!
-
I'm basically starving all the time now I'm breastfeeding - I wasn't this hungry when pregnant! I'm craving sweet things, chocolate, ice cream and cake, and when I was preg it was salty things. Vanilla ice cream with choc syrup mmmm
-
@lovehoneybee: oh goodness this sounds glorious!
Following because my nightly snack is usually unhealthy. Ice cream and hot chocolate lately!
-
With DS, I cut up apple slices and dipped them into almond butter. I have a strong love for peanut/almond butter. lol
I've been getting hungry around 3am with DD recently, and I'm too tired to get up and eat, but my tummy is rumbling!
-
So this is my current late night nursing snack (only cause I didn't know about it while pregnant). I put frozen fruit in a bowl, then I melt a spoonful of coconut oil (like 20 seconds in the microwave), stir in some cocoa powder and a capsule of vanilla, a squirting of honey and pour that over the berries. The coconut oil mixture gets all hard like magic shell. It's delicious and on the healthier side. I'm addicted.

Brighams Peppermint Stick ice cream (it's a New England thing)
But healthier go-to has been cut up veggies (mini cukes, baby carrots, red/orange/yellow peppers) dipped in Annie's cowgirl ranch dressing
-
I loved a banana and peanut butter wrapped in a tortilla. Or Greek yogurt, berries and granola. That is, when I wasn't eating peanut butter cookies, ice cream or nachos!
-
I'm partial to Sargento Snack packs. It comes with cheese, nuts, and raisins. It's healthy
-
Cheese and crackers? Yogurt? I've been having a lot of late night cereal. Nothing healthy, but frosted flakes and captain crunch are soooooo yummy!
-
Peanut butter, banana & honey on toast, popcorn (air popped, lots of butter), clif bars, apples with cheddar cheese, plain bagel with herb&garlic cream cheese & cucumber slices, scrambled egg sandwiches.
Oh and whatever baked good we had on hand, usually muffins or a loaf of some sort. -
Cereal. Sometimes a healthy one, sometimes two bowls of Lucky Charms.
I want that! Nutella and cookie butter are my weaknesses.
