Peanut butter during pregnancy?!

Yay or nay? (As I'm eating my pbj sandwich) heard different things about consuming peanuts during pregnancy as it may affect the baby. What do you know and heard?

Answer

Peanut butter is good for you and the baby

Answer

Yes, studies show that pregnant women who consume nuts during their pregnancy actually lower the chances of their babies having peanut allergies. Peanut butter is also a great source of protein (about one serving, 6-7 grams, of protein in every 2 tablespoons). I also recommend almond butter- a bit more protein and less calories than peanut butter, and a nice crunchier texture.
