Is there any pregnancy safe protein powder?

Question

So yesterday I decided to track my nutrition because I wanted to see how I am doing. I didn’t get enough protein whatsoever and my doctor has specifically told me that protein is important. What do you guys do for protein? Meat has been kinda grossing me out during pregnancy so I was thinking ig could do protein shakes or smoothies but I looked up protein powders and it says that some aren’t safe.

Answer

Beans, nuts, seeds, and eggs are all good sources of protein. I really like eating trail mix that usually has a few different kinds of nuts in it and snacking on roasted chickpeas. I don't eat a lot of meat either so I get my protein mainly from nuts and chickpeas.

Answer

Whey based are better than plant based. Talk with you ob/midwife about what they recommend.

Answer

this is what I use. I make a smoothie for my husband and I probably 4-5 times a week, switching it up between their chocolate flavor and vanilla, both are delicious. Smoothies were basically the only source of veggies I was able to consume in my first trimester 😂

Answer

I have HG and need more protein too so my doctor recommended ensure.

Answer

I mentioned having a protein shake in my ice coffees in the morning instead of cream or sugar and my midwife didn't even bat an eye or tell me not to have it... I drink premier protein but I have for years now so I don't know if that makes a difference.
