Lean protein from the chicken and greek yogurt helps form the baby's muscles and organs while keeping the mother feeling full and her energy steady. The greek yogurt adds a boost of calcium for the baby's hardening bones, and the walnuts provide healthy fats and choline to support continued brain building. Paired with whole grain bread and spinach, this meal delivers steady energy and fiber for comfortable digestion.
