PREGNANCY MEAL PLAN WEEK ONE
Week 1: Nourishing the Start
Week 1 focuses on nutrient-rich meals to support your growing baby and keep your energy up. With iron-packed proteins, folate-filled greens, and calcium-rich ingredients, this week sets the stage for a healthy, balanced diet. Batch cooking and simple recipes ensure that you’re not tied to the kitchen every day.
Tips for Success:
Prep Ingredients Ahead: Chop veggies, cook grains, and portion snacks at the start of the week.
Double Recipes: Soups, stir-fries, and casseroles can easily be stored for later meals.
Family-Friendly Adjustments: Let family members add their favorite toppings or sides to shared meals.
