It's mango season, and I'm really craving a chilled mango shake. I just wanted to double-check if it's safe to drink mango shake during pregnancy. Any precautions I should keep in mind?
When I asked my clinical nutritionist at the hospital, she said homemade mango shake without added sugar is excellent. Just ensure the milk is fully pasteurized and the mangoes are washed thoroughly.
I panicked after drinking a big glass of mango shake thinking it would cause spotting because of 'garmi'. But it's totally safe! My doctor laughed and said it's just a myth, so enjoy your shake.
I totally understand those sweet summer cravings, they are so hard to resist! Go ahead and enjoy a nice glass of homemade mango shake, it will make you and your little one so happy.
Yes, it is perfectly safe! No need to avoid it. Just make it at home with clean milk and try to limit the sugar since mangoes are already naturally very sweet.
My mother told me mangoes cause 'heat' in the body so we should avoid them, but my doctor clarified that having one glass of mango shake occasionally is completely safe and healthy. I trusted my doctor and enjoyed it.
Having mango shake is fine, but moderation is key. Mangoes are rich in vitamins, but they also have high sugar content, so having it once or twice a week is the best way to enjoy it safely.
During my first trimester, mango shake was the only thing I could digest when everything else tasted horrible. It's a great way to get some calories and milk intake when you are vomiting a lot.
I felt so guilty after drinking a large glass of mango shake because everyone said it's 'hot'. But honestly, nothing happened and it actually helped with my energy levels.
Drink it, but don't overdo it. Make it at home so you know it's clean. Outside shakes might have dirty water or ice, which can cause infections, so avoid those.
