Pregnancy Snacks: 6 Healthy Snack Options for Mom-to-Be Under 300 Calories! by Meredith Schneider

Who doesn't like to snack? Pregnant moms only need 300 extra calories a day, despite what we'd like to think. All of our bodies and cravings are different. What is most important is what we put in our bodies for nourishment and the amazing baby growing inside of us. Here are some of my favorite snack combinations and mini meals I enjoyed with all four of my pregnancies:

1/2 cup blueberries (43 calories)
1/2 cup strawberries ( 24 calories)
