Simple Recipe for a Delicate Tummy
Nov 11th, 2009 by Tamara
Hi Mamas! Its has been way too long since my last post. We are getting ready for the Holidays and and know you are too. This brings me to my topic today-
Our hard working Mama’s here have noticed that our Best-selling Happy Mornings Tea is flying off the shelf these past few weeks! We have had almost double the sales this month from last! We know that many Mamas and Papas are doing everything possible to save some extra money this season and we here at The Spoiled Mama wanted to give you all FREE RECIPES that you can make at home. Today, this recipe is for all the “queasy” mamas out there that need something a lil’ extra to help get you through this first trimester (for some it is during your entire pregnancy).
Simple Flavors for a Delicate Tummy- Bananas in Coconut Milk
Morning Sickness is caused by hormones that support your pregnancy, so feeling constantly nauseated is actually a good thing! Nevertheless, Queasy first-trimester tummies need extra special treatment. This dessert is extra comforting and will offer you and your little babe some great nutrition!
Potassium in Bananas can help to alleviate some of your bod’s aches and pains, while coconut milk works to build body mass for your baby. This recipe also calls for Maple Syrup (substitute Agave Nectar for a lower Glycemic Index), which is much better for you than sugar, and flax seed, which is full of essential fatty acids. The flax seed also works wonders of that “other” delightful digestive symptom of pregnancy- Constipation.
Ingredients: (some items call for organic but you may use non-organic)
- 2 Ripe Organic Bananas
- 1/2 can Organic Coconut Milk
- 1/4 Cup Water
- 1/4 Cup Organic Maple Syrup (Organic Agave Nectar- found this at Costco last week!)
- 1/2 teaspoon Seasalt
- 1/2 Tablespoon Flaxseed (you can also use Flax seed Oil for a different Flavor)
Directions:
Peel the Bananas and cut each in 1 inch segments. In a medium saucepan, combine, coconut milk, water and Maple syrup. Place over medium-low heat and bring to a simmer. Add the sliced bananas and simmer for 10 minutes. Finally, add the salt, increase the heat to medium-high, and boil for 20 minutes to reduce the mixture to a pudding like consistency. The bananas will fall apart, or you can mash them further if you like. Serve topped with Flaxsseds. You can keep any leftovers (unlikely, especially if you also have a toddler- they love this!) in the fridge for up to 1 week.
As always Enjoy being a Spoiled Mama!
