Any breastfeeding mamas and taking protein shakes?

Question

So I’ve been wanting to add more protein to my diet but I’d also been contemplating protein powders to help add to my diet to keep me going during the day but I am breastfeeding my 4 month old son so I was wondering if there are any mamas out there who take protein shakes while breastfeeding ? I get paranoid about anything I take only because my fatty obviously suffers the consequences if it’s something I can’t take or shouldn’t take . Anyone have some suggestions ?

Hey girl!
I’m a health coach and have been helping older sister with her nutrition and weight loss while keeping her milk production (for the 5th time 😅)!! My baby nephew just turned 4 and STILL nurses!! The protein shakes I have her on have the nutrients of a full meal plus a booster for new moms! Would it be okay if I send you a link?
you can browse completely under the radar and be able to see all the nutrition labels to talk with your doctor about what’s best for you!

Answer

I do protein shakes in the morning for breakfast all the time. I do find that i will need to folllow them up with a carb like oatmeal as well (you can mix oatmeal right into them as well. Just not my favorite) I like to add in a scoop of Greek yougurt, amond milk, and blueberries. I currently have some shakeology from my SIL, hate the taste though. I typically buy the GNC lean shake. I look for high protein, low sugar/carb count.
