Im in my second trimester and upma is the only breakfast that doesnt make me nauseous these days. MIL keeps saying rava is not good but I dont know if thats true. Anyone having it regularly?
Upma was my safe craving food honestly, light on the stomach when nothing else stayed down. Throw in ghee and curry leaves and its perfect. Totally fine to eat.
It is okay but rava is refined so it can spike sugar a bit. I had GD so I would mix in lots of veggies and have a small portion with some protein on side. If your sugar is normal you dont need to worry much.
Its a quick easy meal which is great when you are tired or rushing. I used to make a big batch with veggies. Just dont overdo the oil and you are sorted.
Yes its a good light breakfast, easy to digest and fills you up. Add some veggies like carrot, beans, peas to make it more nutritious. I ate it loads in both pregnancies.
In our home upma is breakfast almost daily and its totally fine during pregnancy. My mother always added veggies and a little ghee. Healthy and easy, no issue at all.
