Are Mocktails Safe During Pregnancy?
I have good news for you! You can have most mocktails as those are non-alcoholic drinks that are safe during pregnancy.
There are many pregnancy mocktail recipes available that use ingredients that not only are safe for pregnant women but are also healthy and nutritious. All of the mocktails in this list are safe during pregnancy.
Some do contain a small amount of sugar. Sugar is not generally considered harmful during pregnancy, but too much of it can lead to weight gain. Plus, you need to avoid sugar if there is a risk of gestational diabetes. If you’re craving a sweet mocktail, you can always substitute sugar with natural ingredients like honey or maple syrup.
OK, It’s all clear with homemade pregnancy mocktails: you control what you put in your refreshing drink thus you have full peace of mind.
But what if your friends decide to go out?
There is no reason for you to miss out on the fun!
You can still go to a bar and enjoy a drink. Let’s understand what you can order.
What Can You Drink At Bars When Pregnant?
When ordering a drink at a bar, make sure you mention that you want a non-alcoholic mocktail. Sometimes bartenders include small amounts of alcohol in mocktails too but you want to avoid alcohol altogether.
Another ingredient to be aware of is caffeine. Caffeine is present in some sodas and energy drinks, which are often used as mixers for mocktails. While moderate amounts of caffeine are safe during pregnancy, it’s best to limit your intake to 200 mg per day.
The best thing for you to do is to ask the bartender for a non-alcoholic, caffeine- and sugar-free mocktail.
Alternatively, you can check if the bartender would make your own mix. Find a mix that you prefer from these 15 pregnancy-safe mocktails and request it from the bartender.
With a few simple swaps, you can enjoy a delicious and refreshing mocktail that’s safe for pregnancy even at a bar!
