Thirteen Pregnancy Superfoods


Beef

Why: Lean cuts of beef such as top sirloin steak pack protein, vitamins B6, B12 and niacin, as well as zinc and iron, in highly absorbable forms. Beef is also concentrated in choline, required for brain development and peak cognitive powers.

Enjoy: Add lean ground beef to pasta sauces, use in tacos, as burgers, in stir-fry dishes and in chili.
