Because I got high HempBalls

Say what?
No, no, no I'm not high. I've just made a delicious treat with hemp seeds in it.

And no you can't get high eating hemp seeds. There are no THC in it so you don't get stoned.

Hemp seeds are one of the safest foods on the planet.  It is THC free, pesticide free, gluten free, peanut free, and it is extremely easy to digest. It is excellent for those who suffer from food allergies, digestion problems, stomach sensitivities, and is perfect for those who are sensitive to pesticides. It has become extremely popular as a protein source for body builders who have experienced negative side effects from Whey Protein supplements. With the use of hemp protein professional body builders are now able to eat a vegetarian diet and still compete at the highest level. It is excellent for pregnant and lactating woman and for people of all health and fitness levels. 

My recipe for today:

Hemp Balls.
1 1/2 cup hemp seeds
1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
1/2 cup warm water
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
tea spoon maple sirup

Mix everything together. Place in the freezer for 20minutes to harden a bit. Use a small scoop to make tiny balls of it. cover it with hemp seeds and store it in the freezer

Don't feel down just smile

Pregnancy does a lot with you body and mind. And everybody dreams to look as beautifull like all of those celeberties. Everybody hopes they will not gain weight a lot.

But all those celebs have a personal trainer, diĆ«tist and someone who will gave them advice  and what do you think about their stylist or visagist who makes sure they look great?



A lot of pregnant woman don't feel confident about theirselfs. Me either. Hanging above the toilet does not makes you feel pretty but just feeling dirty.

You feel unattractive and your body is changing a lot. It's just a normal process during the pregnancy.



But how can you deal with all those changes? How can you feel confident again?
Let me give you some advice.

First off all STOP with saying that you are ugly or your fat or what ever! This does not do your ego any good. Stay positive, how hard it will be sometimes. People who are saying they are ugly will look ugly. So simple as that.



Cuddle, kiss, have sex with your partner.For a lot of woman this makes them feel confident.



Weare your bump with pride. I've got a tiny bump with 24 weeks a friend of mine who's 20 weeks has a big bump. But wear your bump with pride, don't hide it. It's such a beautifull thing that mother nature gave it to us.



Wear comfortable clothing. If you don't fit in any skinny jeans any more just deal with it. But don't wear sweatpants instead. Yes I've got to deal with pregnancy pants also. But they feel much comfortable and you've got really nice and trendy ones. So if it fits great you will show it also.



Just spent a little more time to your appearance. Get up an half an hour earlier to do your make up and your hair. Don't think if you are pregnant you have not to do that any more. Well wrong. Make sure you look great and then you will feel great also.
I was trying to do that for a couple of days and I only get compliments that I sparkle and look great and happy. Well all those compliments will makes you feel great.



And finally: Be Yourself!
Everybody is beautifull in their own way. Even if you are pregnant or not. Just be yourself, smile and wear your bump with pride. It's such a gift to wear a little life inside of you.... Everybody feels happy in their own way. I feel happy if I get my nails done, wear some dresses (I wear them never before pregnancy but now I feel good in it), by wearing funny belly bands, wear braceltets and other jewelry to make my outfit complete and do my hair for ones (I've always wear my hair loose)



And here some advice from Jwoww and Snooki... I really need to laugh about those two.

Superfoods Chiaseed + recipe



I love superfoods. Superfoods are foods(mostly plants) and they are very good for your health. superfoods are nutrient powerhouses that pack large doses of antioxidants, polyphenols, vitamins, and minerals. Eating them may reduce the risk of chronic disease, and prolong life, and people who eat more of them are healthier and thinner than those who don't. 

I have some superfood in stock like: chiaseeds, hemp seeds, flax seeds.  I thought that everybody could eat them. 
So I've made a chiapudding and after that (stupid me) I've read some stuff about chiaseeds during pregnancy.

There is a warning label if you are pregnant and eat chiaseeds on a daily basis.


Let me set some things straight about chiaseeds....

CHIASEEDS:

Chia seeds (Salvia hispanica) are derived from a plant in the mint family. Although a relative newcomer to the American diet, chia was a staple food in the ancient Aztec diet. Chia seed contains omega 3 fatty acids. The seeds are full of antioxidants and minerals, including calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, manganese, copper, zinc, iron, niacin. They also contain fiber. 
So Chiaseeds are a healthy product you can use daily. BUT:
Always pay attention to your body, there are people with hypersensitivity to chia seeds and symptoms include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting. People have mainly suffered from in the morning on an empty stomach. If you have this, I would not eat it. Chia seed does thin the blood and blood pressure lowering. Here you should keep in mind when you're pregnant.






RECIPE:

I've got a recipe for the sweet cravings with chiaseeds !

Chiaseeds pudding:
mix some almondmilk, chiaseeds, vanilla extract and maple syrup. put it in the fridge for 1 night.
(chia seeds take to 9x their own moisture. If you mix it with a liquid, there will be is a jelly like substance.)

Chocolate pudding:
Greek yogurt, pure cocoa powder, maple syrup. Mix it together.

Top it with slices banana and sprinkle it with hemp seeds.
