Sample Daily Menu for Pregnant Vegetarians

Though your nutritional needs increase now that you’re pregnant, your pregnancy vegetarian diet shouldn’t have to change all that much.

With some careful planning to ensure your caloric, vitamin, and mineral needs are met, you can still enjoy a rich variety of nutrient-dense delicious foods and help give your baby a nutritious jump-start.

Consider the following daily menu for ideas and inspiration.

Breakfast:

1/2 cup oatmeal with maple syrup

1 slice whole wheat toast with fruit spread

1 cup soy milk

1/2 cup calcium and vitamin D fortified orange juice



Snack:

1/2 whole wheat bagel with margarine

Banana



Lunch:

Veggie burger on whole wheat bun with mustard and catsup

1 cup steamed collard greens

Medium apple

1 cup soy milk



Snack:

3/4 cup ready-to-eat cereal with 1/2 cup blueberries

1 cup soy milk



Dinner:

3/4 cup tofu stir-fried with 1 cup vegetables

1 cup brown rice

Medium orange



Snack:

Whole grain crackers with 2 Tbsp peanut butter

4 ounces apple juice


If morning sickness is giving you fits during your pregnancy, try eating low fat, high carbohydrate nutrient-dense foods. These are digested more quickly and stay in the stomach for less time giving less time for queasiness.

Remember to eat often. Sometimes nausea is really hunger in disguise.


Be sure to drink juice, water, or soy milk if you can't eat solid food. Keep trying to eat whatever you can.

If you’re unable to eat or drink the appropriate amounts of foods or fluids for 24 hours or more, get in touch with your healthcare provider.

Even when we try to eat well, we're disadvantaged. The nutritional content of most food has been compromised over the years, not only by deficient soils and modern production, transportation, storage and processing methods, but also by the enormous amounts of chemical and artificial substances added to promote growth, storage life, taste and appearance.

It's for this reason that more and more medical authorities are advocating the use of vitamin and mineral supplements. However, finding them in the right combination can be both confusing and costly.
The nutrition products I am going to recommend you make use of knowledge gained from the botanical world's 6,000 year history. They incorporated health building nutritional herbs with the best modern technology to help our bodies cleanse and detoxify so that the cells - the tiniest living units - can be as fully nourished as possible.
This allows the cells to grow, repair and to perform their functions with the best possible efficiency so that we feel and look better and are more able to prevent and fight disease. Once the body begins to clear itself of toxins it can more efficiently absorb nutrition.
