Trim Healthy Mama Health & Wellness
It has been a long time since posting. I have taken a lot of time off to reflect and heal. After suffering a miscarriage several months ago, I was really needing that time to process. walking through such a hard process, I found myself barley eating and felt very depressed. My body went through so many changes emotionally and physically. I lost 31 pounds, was easily upset, my emotions were just so sensitive. I am still healing, but I’m glad to just finally be eating something. So I figured its a good time to get back to posting meal ideas. A lot of these meal ideas are meatless and crossovers because that is just where we have been in this season. Although we have been incorporating more meat recently because I have suspected from different symptoms we need more iron. New post coming soon for iron rich foods and why iron is important. Hope you enjoy these ideas. If you would like more food inspiration, I’m linked up over in the THM Journey App under Melissa THM4life, I would love for you to follow along!

Vegan Nachos THM XO – use on plan chips, beans, corn, lettuce, salsa and choice of cheese,
I used dairy-free queso on these, similar to Pearls THM quick cheese.
THM XO – Chickpea Noodles and Lean Ground Turkey,
Tip : If you want to make E meals with ground turkey, make sure to use at least 96% fat free.
THM XO – Dairy-free Mac-n-cheese with Broccoli. If you would like to make this an E, use THM Instant cheese. I did not add extra protein with this meal because I’m getting enough from the chick pea noodles and the queso
THM XO – Lentils with Vegan Chao Cheese
THM XO – Dairy-free yogurt with oats and berries.
THM E – Vegetable Soup. This is always a hit in my home, use veggies , broth ad chickpea noodles… season to taste.

THM XO – Salmon with Homemade Dilly Sauce side of Rice w/spinach
THM S-Helper 1/2 cup chickpea spaghetti noodles covered in cashew cheese and jalapenos,
side of green beans and olives for good healthy fats.
Fun Fact:
Olives contain 11–15% fat, 74% percent of which is oleic acid, a type of monounsaturated fatty acid. Oleic acid helps decreased inflammation. Eat those olives!
THM S-Helper – 1 Piece of Sprouted Toast w/ Avocado.
When I need to help my littles gain weight while nursing, I have always tried to remember eating an avocado a day can help fatten up the milk. I do not know the hard facts on it, but it seemed to work for my little babies.
THM S-Helper – Cobbler Oats 1/2 cup oats, berries drowning with PB!
This is probably my favorite way to eat oats!

Vitamin C plays an important role when absorbing iron. Eat lots of oranges, bell peppers, and strawberries, or you can drink or add baobab to your food and drinks!
