If you’re pregnant, you may be experiencing some of these common food cravings.
It’s perfectly normal to crave these foods, but giving in to them regularly is most likely not going to fit in with your plans for a healthy pregnancy.


So we have picked our top 5 pregnancy cravings and given you a healthy pregnancy option that you can make yourself at home – and enjoy!

Chocolate Brownies

139 cals
Are you finding it hard to resist the brownies in the glass cabinet at the cake shop?
While they look innocent enough, it’s much better if you can make your own at home so that you know exactly what’s in them (and what’s been left out – I’m looking at you white sugar).
Recipe here.

Sausage Rolls

180 cals
Does a visit to the bakery to get your bread for the week see you drooling over the sausage rolls? Say hello to these Sausage Rolls with Hidden Veggies. Just 70 cals.
Looking for a vegetarian option instead? These Spinach and Ricotta Rolls (180 cals, pictured) are healthier and tastier than the ones from the bakery.

Pancakes

452 cals
If you just want to fill your plate with pancakes and sweet syrup, this recipe has your name all over it.
Making your own healthy pancakes at home is really simple, and much better for you and bub than buying the pre-made pikelets from the supermarket which contain sugar and white flour.
These Blueberry & Vanilla Pancakes on the other hand contain wholemeal flour and NO added sugars. Winning.

Banana Bread

194 cals
If your visit to the café for your morning cuppa inevitably sees you reaching for a slice of toasted, buttery banana bread – this Wholemeal Banana Date and Apple Bread will be your saviour.
Unlike some commercial banana breads that can have up to TEN teaspoons of sugar (per slice!) this recipe has no added sugar (and no butter, oil, nuts or eggs either which is great for any allergies).

Cinnamon Donuts

62 cals
If you can’t walk past Donut King without indulging in a hot cinnamon donut, you need this recipe in your life. And here is why we don’t recommend commercially prepared donuts as part of a healthy eating plan.
