Evening Snacks Ideas For A Pregnant Woman

You can eat puffed rice snack called churmuri or masala mandakki. I had it everyday during my pregnancy and my now 19 month old DD loves it as she had tasted it in my womb . I used to add slices of onion,tomato,cucumber,grated carrot, coriander,grated coconut,little chilli powder, salt , dash of lime, handful of roasted peanuts to puffed rice and have it.

 

Eat variety of vegetables. Roasted, steamed with dips or chutneys

Most of chutneys without lemon or tamarind, shd be good for cravings and taste. Try to eat steamed, roasted stuff with those chutneys or dips

Nuts are good for low glycemic snack.

You eat nuts soaked in water, fried with favorite seasoning etc

Lots of gobi with little besan cab fried for pakora.

Above foods are high fat low carb, not grt lifelong but okay for during preg

If you still feel hungry, then ask the doctor for medicine merformin or insulin. Later you start medicine, the better because till 40 weeks, Dr might have to increase dosage. Ask the Doctor about how hungry u are feeling and when and how you can start medicine.

Do you eat non veg? Don’t think that chicken/ mutton/ egg curry are only for lunch or dinner, a small plate is a snack, as well.

 

I used to have onions raw, everything in that was raw except peanuts which was roasted,cut everything into small pieces,carrot and coconut grated. But if you think you can't have onions raw then you can skip onions all together and just mix other ingredients.

 

Phool makhana roasted in ghee (just 1tsp) with some salt and chilli powder os good snack.

Murmura / rice puff roasted add turmeric chilli powder salt n u can eat it direct or else add raw tomato onions n sprinkle sev n eat like dry bhel puri snack.

Avlakki/poha/cornflakes mixture is healthy too provided made at home with less salt n oil.

Salt n sugar shud be reduced in pregnancy.

Other options are multi millet laddoos if you have sweet tooth. It contains neither jaggery nor sugar. You can make it with multimillet flour, dates and some nuts. Jus coarsely powder n add lil ghee to bind them to shape it as laddoos.

Other options - cut fruit salad sprinked with lil chat masala... Or sundal or dry fuits like walnut, dried apricots.

Make sure u do t consume too much of dry fruits. It should be just a handful.

Enjoy your pregnancy. Stay healthy.

Pls bless me that I can also have the blessing to be a mother soon.

 

Thanks for the wishes.
I would advice you to go with your doc and take insulin and eat fruits.
Fruits provide nutrition for both mother and baby.
Insulin is very safe in pregnancy.
Bit dont ever take metformin tablet in pregnancy. Doctor's strictly advice it not to take.

You are depriving yourself n your baby without healthy nutrition by avoiding fruits.

Fruits like pomegranate and green apple and kiwi etc have less sugars and are very healthy for you and baby.
Please consult your doc and take insulin and monitor your grbs (buy glucometer).

Eat healthy. Dont avoid fruits totally.

And the millet laddoo i told is without jaggery or sugar. Just use crushed dates. Dates are good. Rich in iron.
