Although I didn’t necessarily have specific cravings while I was pregnant, my sweet tooth certainly didn’t diminish at all, either. Of course, when you’re trying to avoid packing on too many pounds, grabbing a candy bar or cookie whenever you need something sweet isn’t really the best option. That’s why I loved Bellybar’s line of shakes. Available in Due for Chocolate and Vanilla Dreams flavors, both contain lots of stuff that is good for pregnant ladies, including calcium, Omega-3 DHA, protein, fiber, vitamin B12 and folic acid.
With all those added vitamins, I was worried about the taste not being so great. Both flavors were very tasty, however, and they definitely hit the spot when I was looking for a sweet snack. The shakes are shelf stable, but the company recommends serving them chilled or over ice (I put mine in the refrigerator for a couple of hours).
Bellybar Shakes retail for $9.99-$11.99 for a pack of four and are available at select Babies “R” Us stores and at store.babycenter.com. For more information visit www.bellybarproducts.com.
