Protein shakes?

Question

Hi everyone,
I’m really struggling with food, not being sick but I’ve just gone off everything and I’m worried I’m not getting enough protein from what I’m eating. My bf suggested having protein shakes, he has the protein from when he went to the gym, and just wondered if this is okay to have when pregnant?

Answer

Check the ingredients and make sure it's not an amino added shake or anything like that. If concerned take it to the doc and ask if it's okay.

Answer

I wouldn’t use anything that isn’t completely whole foods based. Read the label for sure. A lot of them will specifically say don’t take it if you’re pregnant. They can be really full of junk. I splurged for Ora Organic’s So Lean and So Clean. I considered Garden of Life, but I decided I wasn’t comfortable with the sprouts (listeria concerns) in the ingredients list. Do the research to find one that’s pregnancy-safe.
