Whereas on my preconception journey I’ve actually began to be extra aware of my protein consumption. Protein just isn’t one thing I ever take note of as I do know I get sufficient simply by consuming entire plant meals however studying in regards to the elevated wants of protein in being pregnant has made me extra conscious of little methods to spice up protein consumption in my meals. currently I’m including cashews to my silken tofu yogurt for additional protein and fats and I adore it! It’s extra satiating and the feel is creamier too.
