Information

Yes, you can eat skimmed yogurt during pregnancy. Yogurts are an excellent source of calcium, proteins and essential vitamins, making it a nutritious choice for pregnant women. Skimmer yogurts are also very low in fat and calories, making it a healthy option for pregnant women who are trying to control their weight. However, you should make sure that the yogurt you choose is free from harmful bacteria such as Listeria Monocytogenes. To do this, always check the expiration date and throw away all the products that have been expired or have been opened for more than two weeks. You must also make sure that the yogurt is well refrigerated and that it is kept at a temperature below 4 degrees Celsius. Finally, even if you can eat skimmed milk yogurt during pregnancy, you should not abuse it. The yogurts are rich in calories and added sugars, which can cause excessive weight. You should therefore limit your yogurt consumption to about two portions per day.
