Craving custard with fruits like crazy these days. Made some at home but then started wondering if the powder is okay during pregnancy. Is it fine to have or should i avoid?
My nutritionist at the hospital told me custard is fine occasionally, but advised using low-fat milk and adding lots of fresh fruits. You can check with your doctor for a customized diet chart.
It's okay for cravings, but try not to have too much sugar. I used to balance it by going for a 15-minute slow walk after having any dessert, with my doctor's permission of course.
I used to make fruit custard all the time during my pregnancy! It's a great way to eat a mix of apples, pomegranates, and bananas in one go, just limit the sugar.
Yes, you can eat it in moderation as it's just cornstarch and flavoring. But try to make natural rabri or kheer at home with real milk and dry fruits instead of processed powders.
I literally lived on chilled fruit custard in my hot summer pregnancy! It is totally safe and so soothing for acidity, just don't add artificial colors.
Custard powder has cornflour which can spike sugar levels, so be careful if you have insulin resistance. I used to make it very rarely and with double-toned milk.
