20 weeks pregnant.. what can I substitute meat with?? I'm having difficulty swallowing solid foods and meats don't blend in blender very well, I want to make sure I'm getting enough protein and iron..

Question

Answer

If you are needing to blend your foods to swallow them, you should probably discuss that with your doctor. Swallowing disorders are a very real thing and you can have tests, etc done to help you. (All of this assuming you haven’t already done this)

Answer

Tofu, beans and lentils are good substitutes

Answer

Chickpeas, kidney beans, eggs, nuts, lentils...

Answer

Tofu and beans are good sources of protein. Lots of iron in a variety if veggies, but also most prenatals have more than enough iron. I also eat a lot of nuts or nut butters for protein and they should blend well.
