Catch me putting @fairlife chocolate milk in every Catch me putting @fairlife chocolate milk in every recipe while pregnant 🙂‍↕️

Without toppings, this clocks in at about 7 grams fiber, 12 grams protein, and 16 grams carbs, so it was a perfect bedtime snack for me when I had gestational diabetes!

3-INGREDIENT CHIA SEED PUDDING
2 tablespoons chia seeds
1/2 cup Fairlife chocolate milk
(optional) 2 tablespoons low-carb vanilla Greek yogurt (such as Two Good)

1. Mix the chia seeds and milk together well— cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
2. Remove from fridge and stir well, taking care to break up any clumps
3. Stir in yogurt and, if desired, top with whatever toppings you want (I love fresh raspberries and chocolate chips, granola, mashed cherries, etc) #fibermax #carbconscious #highproteinlowcarb #hyperfixation #pregnancy

BABYMOON IN NYC: DAY 2 🌙🏙️ The lesson of the day: BABYMOON IN NYC: DAY 2 🌙🏙️

📍Feste: super cute gift store in SoHo 
📍Central Park and The Met: duh

Some highlights of the day:
📍Ole & Steen: a danish bakery with a few locations; their cinnamon social pastry was really tasty and their turkey sausage, egg, and cheese on a focaccia roll was honestly so good!

📍Veniero’s Pastry: this cannoli was so good— wish I had tried more things because the cheesecake looked phenomenal
