 “During the first 4 months of my pregnancy, I was very sick (nauseau and bringing up). Fortunately I could eat The Simply Bar and was happy I was at least keeping down something- especially something with the protein I needed.”

 I'm an avid rock climber and former outdoor guide and very active midwife with celiac and blood sugar issues in a busy final year of residency. I LOVE your bars but have a hard time getting them! Pregnancy is such an important time in a women's life to reflect about what she puts into her body and gets motivated to make positive changes. I'd love to recommend this bar to my clients!

Nausea
Nausea is a normal and common side-effect of pregnancy.
“To help relieve this first trimester pregnancy symptom, eat small, frequent meals throughout the day. Choose foods that are low in fat and easy-to-digest.” – Mayo Clinic.

Easily digested
Some pregnant women suffer from acid reflux later in their pregnancy as the baby gets bigger and takes up more space, affecting digestion. The Simply Bar is a small, easily digested snack.

Protein
Protein needs to be increased during pregnancy in order to develop new cells and support each stage of the baby’s growth. The Simply Bar is high in protein with > 16 grams per bar. Also, gestational diabetes can develop during pregnancy, making low glycemic foods an important part of helping to prevent blood sugar spikes; The Simply bar is low glycemic.

Iron
The requirement for iron during pregnancy is twice the amount prior to pregnancy.
The Simply Bar is Iron Rich – it provides 20% of the daily recommended amount of iron. Eat it with a Vitamin C rich fruit or vegetable to further improve non-heme iron absorption.
