Yes! Almonds are like the official pregnancy snack of Indian families, your MIL will probably force feed them to you anyway! Just soak them overnight to make them easy to digest and enjoy.
Almonds are a great, budget-friendly snack compared to buying expensive pregnancy protein powders. Just buy them in bulk from a local wholesale market to save money. Soak a few daily for nutritional benefits.
I eat soaked almonds every single morning too! My MIL says to peel them, but honestly does the skin really make a difference? I am in my 6th month and loving them.
Almonds are highly nutritious, but always ask your gynac if you have any history of allergies or digestive issues. Generally, 5-6 soaked almonds a day is considered safe and healthy. Just don't overdo it.
Of course you can eat almonds, they are great for baby's brain development. Just soak 4-5 of them overnight in water and peel the skin in the morning before eating. Don't eat them raw or in huge quantities because they generate heat.
