During recovery, your body needs protein, carbohydrates, healthy fats, and vitamins and minerals to heal.
Here are our top favorite tips:
● Freezer route: Many moms opt to cook and freeze meals before their due date, making sure to label them so they can be reheated in the oven without any cooking involved.
● Grocery delivery: Getting your groceries delivered to your doorstep is a great way to ensure you always have fresh produce at hand.
● Crockpot time: Your slow cooker can be your best friend during these trying times. Most of the widely available crockpot recipes online involve just putting all your ingredients in, closing the lid, and enjoying it a few hours later.
● Rely on your partner: This is where teamwork comes to shine. You can let them take the stress off your day by letting them take charge of dinner. Whether they are great cooks or choose to make a simple meal, not worrying about menus and dishes will make you feel better.
As always, it’s important to remember that there is no shame in relying on comfort foods now and then. There is nothing wrong with finishing a heavy day with a tasty treat.
