I'll admit it could be a pregnancy quirk – but I have found the best dessert! Healthy, inexpensive and delicious. Frozen Mangoes!
Trader Joe's sells frozen mango chunks for $1.99 a bag. Almost every night I settle my pregnant body into the couch with a small bowl of frozen mangoes and enjoy them chunk by chunk. It's kind of like eating hard sorbet with your fingertips. Because they are frozen, they take a while to eat. Otherwise you will suffer the inevitable "ice cream" headache. By eating them slowly you are able to savor every bite.
Each bag holds five servings which breaks down to a cost of approximately $.40 per serving. The fact that they are packed with vitamins and just 90 calories per serving is a huge bonus.
If you have a Trader Joe's near you, give it a try and let me know what you think! You can email me at Melissa@budgetsavvymag.com.
