I am allergic to animal products, so I don't have a choice. I don't care what you choose to eat. Like you said, it's your choice. I'm still a fan.

I started following you when I was eating a vegan diet, and I now too eat dairy, meat, gluten. I eat everything and feel better because of it!

Happy for your pregnancy and your health 🥰

Hello! I support you and will always watch your channel no matter what! But, what is your reason for incorporating dairy and animal proteins/products??

[P.Ross]

What type of protein powder did you add to the yogurt? I'm currently prego with #2 and both times have not been able to keep down the regular protein powders i use. Thanks!

I never thought to add sprouts to something like tuna mayo before. 🤔 Personally I HATE cooked sprouts, I can't stomach them at all. But I was taught a xmas slaw recipe (Raw sprouts, grated apple, dried cranberries, mayo and a hint of white wine vinegar, chop in food processor) and found I'm just fine with them raw.

I've had crazy food restrictions with this pregnancy (Beats the HG I've had in my other pregnancies though!) And am looking to see what I might be able to expand with now I'm 15 weeks. Sprouts with tuna might work. 🤔Thanks. :)

Could you explain about reincorporating the gluten while pregnant? I had gluten allergy based on some zoomer test. I avoided gluten for 3 years but during my pregnancy I had a strong cravings to anything with gluten. I tried a little but checked online and freaked out about the risk of neurological disorders that it may cause to the baby… i feel very frustrated cause i’m not sure all these non-FDA approved tests are valid or not. I look forward to knowing about your thoughts on this! Thanks ❤

Everything looks so yummy!! So happy that you're happy! I am wondering though what made you start consuming animal products again? Crave? Do you feel your body needs that specific source of nutrients? (A mix of both perhaps). I feel like the more time and attention you spend on your food the more intuitive you get with what your body needs. I often question what it would take for me break my strike (I was vegan and now vegetarian for 5 years). Obviously lack of choice would be number one, traveling and maybe having a unique opportunity that I think could never happen again, but I can definitely see how pregnancy can be a strong motive too. I also think about the fact that if I had to I would also choose to consume fish before meat, and I think it's related to my own capacity of extending my circle of compassion to mammals first, and fish second. It's strange that, I think. Sorry for the long comment, eheh I think it's an interesting discussion! Again, super happy for you mama! Enjoy! :)

I love the way you eat. I'm not surprised you are eating animal protein and dairy! I'm excited now for all of the delicious meals I'm going to see you create and eat and I can't wait to be inspired. You should never have to explain your diet to anyone. Blessings on the rest of your pregnancy.

So funny- I have been obsessed with macaroni and cheese and citrus this pregnancy as well 😅 thankfully it’s citrus season!

[aflac]

[judykhaleck]

Alyssa, Have you ever heard of the protein bars brand called MEZCLA bars or BELLIWELLI.

[kitt]
