Bananas are a near-perfect pregnancy food: each banana has about 3 grams of fiber, 420 mg. of potassium and 33% of your daily intake of vitamin B6, which has been shown to reduce nausea. If there’s one thing wrong with bananas, though, it’s that they can go soft in a hurry. These banana cookies are a simple way to turn those soft bananas into a delicious, healthy breakfast or anytime snack. The oats add iron, magnesium, protein and even more fiber.
