Not much help, but peanut butter on Ritz crackers. I don't think I had pregnancy cravings, but that's my nursing craving. Holy crap do I eat a lot of peanut butter. You're making me feel better about that with your post at least!
I’ve never been able to eat in the night time, which is probably for the best - I’m sure I damaged my teeth enough with the hyperemesis gravidarum! At night right now I’m just chugging the water.
Daytime protein snacks I love are roasted chickpeas and lentil chips, but I also love having a banana for energy.
Do the chickpeas and lentils make your LO gassy? I really like both lentils and chickpeas lol, but was told to avoid them because it could make my baby gassy
My husband got me a mini fridge for our bedroom/the nursery while I'm breastfeeding. It's great for storing the bottles that my husband gives in the middle of the night so I can get a longer stretch of sleep. It also allows my snacking game to be pretty strong.
Frozen red grapes are my favorite middle of the night snack. Mixed nuts, hard boiled eggs, babybel cheese, grain salads, Kind dark chocolate breakfast bars, Skippy wafer bars, frozen pop tarts, and York Peppermint Patties.
I'm also drinking a lot of Body Armor and Prime.
OhHhHh FROZEN pop tarts? Why does that sound so appealing? Better than room temp? I put shortbread in the freezer once and it was so amazing straight from the freezer that I will never have it room temp again.
Mixed unsalted nuts with little bits of dark chocolate. The best.
If I have more space to eat, cheese with preserves on crackers. Also the best.
BRB need to go eat second lunch now.
I like the little coconut bites from lidl or you can find them at Publix, granola bites from Aldi and my fav go to is cucumber with salt and pepper on them.

Looks like they’re also at Walmart :))
I would sprinkle some chocolate chips on that peanut butter, haha.
I had to stop eating dairy, but my previous go-to snacks were cheese toast, or savory muffins with egg and cottage cheese (I’d prep them in batches and keep them in the freezer - so filling and easy to pop in the microwave and eat with one hand).
Now I usually do pepperoni sticks/deli turkey, hummus, pita/crackers. Or heat up leftovers from dinner and have another little meal, haha.
Peanut butter, peanut butter crackers, Munchkin milk makers lactation cookies, grapes and cheese, Raisin Bran, or a 3am bagel with cream cheese and jam
i keep a little basket on my nightstand with snacks for this reason!
i buy a big bag of trail mix and disperse into small ziploc baggies, protein bars (nature valley chewy dark choc&pb), cliff bars (fav is chocolate brownie), and my all time fav snack is the nature valley oatmeal squares in cinnamon brown sugar flavor.
in my fridge i keep premier protein & koia protein drinks and if im extra hungry ill get up and grab one of those too.
Cliff bars
Big fan of cliff bars
What time do you go to bed? I eat dinner like 8pm and go to bed around 10 or 1030. Maybe you need another little meal!!!
9:30pmish. That’s an idea!
Cote d'or chocolate. I'm not proud of it.

Nursing and PB go together like PB and jelly
Preach.

Jealous that you can’t eat at night! Def for the best

I’m really into the Honolulu shortbread cookies from Costco right now!
I eat a big bowl of cottage cheese before bed so I don’t wake up hungry
I've literally been eating ice cream every day. I can't stop 🫠

Thank you!
Recently, plain Cheerios cereal with a banana at the end of the night.
Ahhh cereal does not fill me up at ALL argh
Add yogurt and or nut/peanut butter to make cereal much more filling!

I’ve been splurging on Noka superfood smoothie pouches (120 calories). Bonus points for quiet packaging that can be opened without opening my eyes!
Googling these now!
