Beta, you can have a few banana chips to satisfy your cravings, but try to avoid packaged food with too much salt. Having fresh banana or roasted makhana is much better for health.

Haan beta, bilkul kha sakte ho, par jyada mat khana kyunki usme namak aur tel hota hai. Ghar ka bana mil jaye toh sabse achha hai.

Actually, I used to crave them so much, yaar! Just don't finish the whole packet at once because the salt can cause water retention.

Eat happily but in moderation, dear. Just stay positive, keep a calm mind, and take care of your diet by adding fruits too.

Oh, during my first trimester, I felt so nauseous and banana chips were the only salty thing I could keep down. They really saved me on my bad days!

Yes, you can eat banana chips, but watch the portion size because they are deep-fried and high in sodium. Opt for baked ones if you can find them.

Sure, they are a cheap and filling snack. But instead of buying expensive branded packages, just get them fresh from a local hot chips shop to save money and get better quality.
