My mom soaks almonds for me every morning and keeps adding more saying its good for the baby. But i dont want to overdo it. How many a day is actually enough?
Around a handful a day is good, i used to have 6-7 soaked almonds every morning. Dont overdo it thinking more is better, they are heavy and rich. Soaked and peeled is easier on the stomach.
Almonds were actually great for me since they dont spike sugar much. I kept it to about a small handful a day. Just dont go overboard, and stick to plain ones not the salted or roasted masala types.
Generally a small handful daily, like 5 to 8, is considered fine and they are full of good nutrients. If you have any specific dietary needs your gynac or a dietician can give you an exact number for your case. Variety of nuts is also nice rather than just almonds.
Beta in our family we soak about 5 to 6 almonds overnight and have them in the morning, peeled. Soaked ones digest better. No need to eat a whole bowl, a small handful daily is plenty.
