Recommend a protein shake?

Question

I am having a hard time taking in protein. Baby doesn't seem to like meat eggs or dairy  😩 can anyone recommend a safe protein powder? I'm 9 weeks 5 days. Thank you!

Answer

Since they can't really test whether or not things are "safe" for pregnancy, you won't find any hard and quick answers to that portion of your question. All you can do is look at ingredients and decide if they are things you are comfortable putting into your body at this time. That being said, I don't do dairy, and these are the protein powders I use daily, pregnant or just while lifting/exercising in regular life. They do both have stevia as the sweetener, but since I don't use it anywhere else in my diet, one shake a day doesn't bother me (although "natural," I prefer to stick to regulate consumption of it and completely stay away from other artificial sweeteners). Both are available at Costco or I've gotten them on Amazon in a pinch, before. I'm sure they're other places, as well. With the chocolate, I usually do a frozen banana, a couple tablespoons of organic PB, 2T chia seeds, a handful of greens (organic spinach or power greens from Costco), the powder and unsweetened vanilla almond milk. Blend and eat! I save the vanilla for when I'm doing fruit smoothies. Any combination of organic frozen fruit, the powder, greens, chia seeds, unsweetened almond milk again, and blend! Sometimes I add flax powder or avocado or some oats/nuts depending on what I'm lacking that day. It's all protein and energy :) Hope this helps!

Anyone had experience with rice protein during pregnancy?  I'm taking it to my OB on my first visit on the 9th, but am missing that extra protein I used to get in shakes (I don't digest meat very well with my IBS.)
