I hate vegetables right now. Seriously, just TYPING the word gives me the shudders. I'm sure the average preggo woman detests veggies ... right now I'm all about a bowl of cereal, or a baked potato LATHERED in butter. *drool*. So sure, I'm taking my multi vitamin - but as an added "help", I've been taking Mona Vie.
It's a drink, made from the acai berry (yada yada yada) and each 4oz contains 13 servings of fruits and veggies. And I just down it in a small espresso cup, twice a day. Can I be a shameless plug and say that I've been feeling SO much better? Shameless, I know. And although I'm now considered a "distributor", I will not be selling it. If you ARE interested in it, I can hook you up with someone who is.
There are a few "vegetable" things I can stand. Like ... hmm ... zoo sticks with dip *grin*. Awe, come ON ... they're a veggie, right?? And IF I had all the ingredients, I just might have made this tonight ... for some reason, it sounds appetizing to me.

I have had it -- sooooo good. And as a fellow preggo, this as my veggie intake sounds great. So does asparagus with a LOT of honey mustard. Or caesar salad with lots of dressing ... You get the idea.
That salad is super yummy - it's also good with grapes cut in half in place of the raisins... a little "fresher" tasting, and good for crunch factor - yum! :)

I love broc salad - I could eat WAY to much of it!
As for Mona Vie - love it too.....makes my hair and nails crazy healthy and certainly helps ward off all the cold an flu bugs that seem to be flying around.
