Craving: Eating well throughout your pregnancy 1st Edition – November 13, 2018

Anti-Nausea Breakfast

Ginger Yoghurt With Cardamom + Honey

Makes 6–8 small tubs | preparation time 10 minutes | cooking time 12 hours | resting time 4 hours

Whisk the milk with the plain yoghurt in a mixing bowl until well combined. Crush the cardamom seeds to a fine powder. Mix the ginger and cardamom into the milk-yoghurt mixture. If you want to, you can sweeten the mixture with honey, agave syrup or puréed dates. Pour the mixture into glass yoghurt pots and place them in a yoghurt-maker for 12 hours. Chill for at least 4 hours in the refrigerator before serving.

Tip:

The granola keeps for 2–3 weeks at room temperature in an airtight container away from light. The home-made yoghurts will keep for 1 week in the refrigerator.

High-Calcium Breakfast

Chocolate scones

Makes about 10 small scones | preparation time 15 minutes | cooking time 20 minutes

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350ºF). Combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, chocolate and salt in a mixing bowl. Rub in the butter until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg with the milk and ricotta. Add to the dry mixture. Roll out the dough to a thickness of 2 cm (¾ inch) on a well-floured surface. Cut the scones into triangles or use a cookie cutter. Line a baking tray with baking paper and arrange the scones on it. Dust with icing sugar and bake for 20 minutes.
