Yep, even RDs drink the orange drink (or Fresh Test, LLC) 😅 Here’s what I ate beforehand, plus the everyday habits I lean on (and share with my clients!) to support blood sugar all pregnancy long, not just on test day 👇
🥑 Every meal: quality protein + fiber-rich carbs + fat. This trio slows digestion so your energy comes in steady instead of spiking + crashing.
☕ Frontload your nutrition. Eat more of your food earlier in the day, when your body needs it most. Running on coffee until 2pm sets you up for the afternoon crash + cravings.
✨ Easy morning win: a scoop of Needed collagen in my coffee = ~15g protein before I’ve even made breakfast.
🍳 Protein-rich breakfast, always. Especially for moms! It’s one of the best ways to head off those 3pm cravings (you know the ones).
This isn’t about restriction or “being good.” It’s about giving your body what it needs to feel steady, energized + nourished for you and baby 💛
