Reading through the "six meal solutions" & calcium-protein overlappers (yogurt), makes you feel how little we are thinking or eating healthy. For now, we are loading the lunch bag with triple fruit load, jelly on wheat-wich and the entree itself. Some days I sneak in a zip-load of baby carrots, but they invariably come back home. Apparently it takes too much time to eat them.
The nature's best source of calcium, is thankfully mom's choice drink & cereal base. 1% Milk. The motivation reached its peak when collard-green was suggested in the grocery list. Well, I didn't want to miss the chance, collard-green it was. With great fan-fare we made collard with shredded coconut sprinkles to tone it down. It was just a little more bitter that mustard-greens. So we are back to square one. I tried collard, mixed with tuna for lunch... the lunch box found its way home, half empty, half full.
In its hay days a pint of ice-cream found its way to the freezer, but the cravings took a U-turn 1/3rd of the way. Now the ice-cream finds itself neglected. Same story with pickles, apples & orange-juice
Smoothie are a big hit, so are cranberry juice, pears & oranges (if they are super sweet). So we have checked off protein, carbs, vitamin C, omega+, calcium from the daily dose; with minimal red meat, all the iron has to come from the prenatal pill. phew, Are we missing anything?
