Protein Shakes While Breastfeeding?

Question

So I’m trying to have a solid plan together for eating right and still being successful at breastfeeding after little man arrives. Do any of you mamas drink protein shakes to stay energized? And do they seem to affect supply? I love them and I have always used a basic and lactose-free powder so I’m not worried about a dairy issue. Anyone have any advice?

Answer

I make fruit smoothies or peanut butter & chocolate smoothie and add my Vega protein powder. I has no dairy (20g protein per scoop) and is made of up healthy pea, rice, hemp protein. You can always add honey to sweeten it more or spinach to the fruit smoothies and whatever other fruits you like.

Here’s what I usually make:
Strawberry Mango Smoothie
1 banana
1 cup frozen strawberries 
1/2 cup frozen mango
1 cup orange juice 
1 cup almond milk 
1 scoop vanilla protein powder 
Peanut butter Chocolate Smoothie 
1 banana 
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup ice
1 cup almond milk 
1 scoop chocolate protein powder

Answer

I drink shakeology and had to switch to vegan because dairy made my daughter spit up but otherwise no problems drinking it (and I found out the vegan chocolate is way better tasting than regular!!)

Answer

I use Vega all-in-one protein shake as well! I get chocolate flavor. It doesn’t decrease or increase my supply.
