Keeping your blood sugar stable and eating a nutrient-rich diet are two important hallmarks of proper prenatal nutrition. But when you're eating for two, it can be a challenge to satisfy your growing appetite without sacrificing quality (or taste). That's why I love, love, love this simple recipe. It's packed with vitamins and minerals (especially if you use organic ingredients) and it couldn't be quicker or easier to make. Plus, perhaps best of all, it's DELICIOUS and you can eat as much of it as you like without feeling guilty. Enjoy!
