Any other alternatives

Hi mommies, Need some suggestions. Since teenager, i havent been eating much vegetables on a regular basis. But i do eat carrots, lettuce and cucumber at times. Now that Im pregnant, I know eating vegetables is important. I am trying to substitute by eating fruits regularly and also drinking Anmum milk supplements. Any tips to share for those who had the same experience? Thank you in advance

You could also try vegetables cooked in different ways. I have a friend who doesn’t like brinjal at all. Like really not at all. But when brinjal is battered with flour and deep fried, sprinkled with pork floss, she eats it. Haha. She says it just tastes nothing like vegetables. Personally, I dislike boiled or stir fry broccoli and cauliflower. But when I grill it and sprinkle some salt while grilling it. It tastes awesome to me. Then again, actually eating lettuce and cucumber are good too. Carrots is also a form of carbs, so eat moderately but still good to be part of your diet. Maybe can also go to jap restaurant to try tempura vege? Tempura lotus root actually tastes very different from normal lotus root too. But tempura capsicum, I think forget it lah. Capsicum smell is always strong. Haha. Yes some fruits are high is sugar, as long as you eat moderately or variety of fruits, that works too! I have diabetes even before pregnancy, so I have to control the type of fruits I eat. Apples, pear, guava are ok. Not too high is sugar. One portion a day is great. Grapes is high in sugar, so only four to five pieces. Banana is starchy, so if you already have a lot of carbs in your meal then dont take so much banana. A small handful of raisins are good too. A wedge of papaya is okay too.

Dont worry too much, everyday eat something different cause different food/fruits/veges all come with different nutrients and vitamins. Don’t stress yourself too much and enjoy your meals! 💪🏻
