Dairy free pregnancy safe protein powders?

Question

I can’t consume dairy and I’ve read that tons of plant based protein powders contain metals such a as lead! Wondering if any of you had any recommendations that you’re sure are safe??

Answer

So, when I looked into this, the only study that I found claiming plant-based protein powders have higher toxicity levels is done by an organization that hasn’t actually released any of the study info other than their findings, meaning it’s not a peer reviewed study and therefor can’t actually be proven. Honestly, when studies like that pop up they always seem fishy to me. I read an article as well that explains that metal contamination is much more likely to happen higher up in the food chain, it occurs much more frequently in meat products than in plant products most of the time.
That being said, if it still concerns you, I’d say too that protein powder isn’t necessary, per se. Just up your intake of whole foods proteins, beans, tofu, even lean meats if you’re fine with that and just can’t do dairy. I find that adding seeds and nut butters to smoothies is a good way for me to increase my protein. I even sprinkle things like sesame seeds, flax seeds, or hemp seeds on a lot of my meals.
