Morning sickness bars are nutrient dense, and easy on the stomach. This is Hollie’s go to food when “morning sickness” lasts morning, noon and night. Morning sickness bars will nourish your body even when you do not feel like eating. This recipe is so easy and quick once the nuts/seeds are soaked and dried. Try to soak and dry nuts and seeds in bulk to have ready when a craving for a new kind of fruit pops up! These can be whipped up within 5 minutes, and even eaten before they make it to the freezer!!
Ingredients for Morning Sickness Bars:
2 cups dates
2 cups soaked and dried assorted nuts (cashews, almonds, walnuts and pecans work well)
1 tsp sea salt
2 cup shredded coconut
1 cup soaked and dried pumpkin seeds (chopped)
2 tsp lemon zest
1 cup dried fruit (chopped)
Directions for Morning Sickness Bars:
Blend 2 cups of dates. Add in the nuts and blend well, scraping down the sides and blending as needed (approximately 1-2 min). Add sea salt and coconut and blend for 30 seconds.
Turn out mixture onto parchment paper. Knead in seeds, lemon zest and dried fruit just enough to combine evenly throughout the mixture.
Place another sheet of parchment paper on top and the mixture out until approximately 1/4-1/2 inch thick. Cut into bars (whatever shape and size you want).
Place in freezer for about 20 minutes, then wrap individually in parchment paper and keep in the fridge. Take a few out before bed and keep them on your nightstand. Eat immediately when you wake up before rising out of bed to help ease morning sickness.
Feel free to change up the nuts, fruit, add dried ginger, whatever sounds good to you at the moment.
Enjoy, mamas!
