Pregnancy-Safe Protein

If you’re worried about taking protein during your pregnancy, allow us to put your mind at ease.

Consuming protein powders during pregnancy is a convenient way to increase your protein intake. Something as simple as a homemade protein smoothie can ensure you are maintaining a balanced diet.

When that pregnancy-related nausea hits or you find yourself lacking an appetite, certain pregnancy-safe protein supplements can help to fill that nutritional gap. Remember, protein isn’t just for bodybuilding. Consuming a nutritionally-balanced diet that contains a healthy amount of protein is important not only for your health but for the health of your baby.

It’s important to be careful when choosing the right protein to support you during your pregnancy. Basically, avoid reaching for the ones that say ‘Mass Gainer’.

You should discuss taking protein powders with your doctor before doing so and ensure you’re not consuming too much (or too little). If you already have a plentiful amount of protein in your diet, you may not need to supplement with it.

Dairy products can often contain traces of hormones that may be harmful to your baby, so avoiding whey protein powders is the safest option. Nutra Organics Thriving Protein is a family-friendly protein that is designed for pregnancy and breastfeeding, while Naked Harvest Thrive Plant Protein is another natural alternative.
