Pregnancy Nachos Loaded with Fiber, Calcium, Protein and Folate

You probably didn’t think it was possible that someone would recommend nachos as a healthy food while you are pregnant. It sounds just about as likely as your midwife recommending you visit the McDonald’s drive-thru. But, believe it or not, these nachos are actually healthy. Loaded with fiber, calcium, protein and folate, here’s how to feel like you’re cheating without actually cheating.

Ingredients:

• 1 ounce of corn chips
• 1/3 cup of kidney beans
• 2 tablespoons of chopped olives
• 1/4 cup of shredded reduced-fat cheese
• 1/2 cup of shredded lettuce of your choice
• 3/4 cup of chopped tomatoes
• 1/3 cup of fresh salsa
• 1/2 cup of non-fat Greek yogurt

Directions:

1. Layer corn chips with kidney beans, olives and shredded cheese on a baking sheet.
2. Bake in oven or toaster oven for approximately 10 minutes or until cheese is melted.
3. Top with shredded lettuce, tomatoes, salsa and Greek yogurt.
4. Enjoy
