Protein powders

[Anon1363847291]

Does anyone recommend any pregnancy safe protein powder? Looking for something to add to my morning smoothie. Freesoul perhaps? Thanks!

I asked my midwife & she advised they didn't know enough about them to suggest they were safe during pregnancy.

I used Yeppoonie Smoothie when I was pregnant and it was great so I still use it now.

With respect, your midwife is talking nonsense (from another midwife).

The ingredients in any standard whey protein shake are: whey, flavouring, sweetener. Nothing in them is any different from any other processed food you might eat.

OP any standard protein shake is perfectly safe. You might want to choose whey isolate as it tends to be easier on your tummy. Soya and pea protein are also fine, but not as high in protein.

Have a look at willpowders, it's bone broth based and "clean" in terms of ingredients. Doesn't taste of beef (I've got it)
