Has anyone gotten recs on specific protein powders that are pregnancy safe?
I've heard/read that shakeology is not pregnancy safe because of some of the herbs it contains. And I think anything with artificial sweeteners is a no no. I'd like a chocolate powder with a deep chocolate flavor.
A friend who is nursing but not PG really likes Paleomeal but I don't know what's in it.
My doctor ok'd hemp seed powder when I was having TTTC and she suspected the issue was low BMI. I stopped taking it after I got my BFP, though, and never researched if it's actually pregnancy-safe.
You could do peanut butter or other nut butter shakes, unless you have a family history of nut allergies.
I have been using Jamie Eason's Chocolate Whey Protein Powder (through Labrada) and am really liking it. I guess I didn't ask my doctor about it, but I assumed it was better for me since it has no artificial sweetner, no artificial colors, and no preservatives.
I have an appointment on Wednesday, so I suppose I'll ask then!
