Healthy Chickpeas Recipes, Meals, and Foods for Pregnancy

Chickpeas are rich in chloride, fiber, folate, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, protein, vitamin B6, and zinc. Chickpeas may boost energy, may relieve nausea and constipation, are beneficial if you’re a mama with gestational hypertension, and are anecdotally believed to be lactogenic. Chickpeas are a carbohydrate and therefore should be limited if you’re a mama with gestational diabetes (15-30 grams for breakfast, 30-45 grams for lunch and dinner, 15 grams for snacks).
