Meal prepping can feel like a daunting task especially during pregnancy as your daily to-do list continues to increase as your due date nears. We talked about constipation in my last instagram post, so for today’s #daisydoulatastytuesday I’ll be going over a few meal prep ideas for constipation relief. 

As we know high fiber foods help to increase the fluid content in your stool making it softer and easier for stool to pass. Eating a lot of leafy greens that contain a high water content will also help you with meeting your fluid intake needs to keep your bowels regular. 

Breakfast ideas: 

1. Strawberry banana smoothie with low fat plain Greek yogurt

2. Scrambled eggs with 1 cup of vegetables, side of banana and high fiber whole grain toast

Lunch ideas:

1. Black bean soup, leafy green salad with baked chicken 

2. Whole grain wrap, filled with scrambled eggs and chopped vegetables

Dinner ideas:
