When I have less than 20 minutes for a healthy prenatal breakfast here are three meals to keep it nutrient dense and balanced:
- Scramble two eggs (you can do this any way you like, yes even if you prefer runny yolks) and sautee ½ a cup of whatever vegetable I have on hand in avocado oil or kerrygold butter.
- ½ cup of grain free granola + ½ cup of full-fat yogurt + 1 tablespoon of chia seeds and a dollop of raw honey (use local if you have allergies)
- Toast 1 slice of Dave’s Killer Powerseed Bread, half a sliced avocado + a sliced boiled egg + favorite seasoning to taste.

Hiring a Digital Doula is the best way to have a positive experience during your pregnancy, birth and postpartum. I would love to be your digital doula.

Learn the overlooked role of breast storage capacity, why one parent can skip a night pump with no problem while another can’t, and what your body is actually “hearing” when demand drops. It also tackles the real-life trade-off between protecting supply and protecting sleep—without shame, pressure, or all-or-nothing rules. If overnight pumping has you torn between rest and results, the details inside will help you make a plan that fits your body, your baby, and your sanity.
