Protien Shakes?

bkr1180 · April 2010

Hi Everyone!

I was wondering if anyone knew if it is safe to drink protien shakes during pregnancy. Before I was drinking Muscle Milk light which has 15 g of protien also has alot of great vitamins. The only thing I was worried about is vitamin A I read we can have too much vitamin A but I'm not sure how much is too much.

I like the shakes for breakfast but I supplement with a snack and have a pretty decent lunch and dinner.

Any thoughts?

I can't remember the name of it but my doctor recommended a protein shake for me since I hadn't been doing anything in particular about it. I will try to recall the name as he is out of his office until next week...at a conference in NY right now.

I would assume it is because its very important to get enough protein, especially in your first trimester. I make protein smoothies a lot.

Hi SAfirefightersgirl, if you want to keep taking protein shakes, look into the vegetable protein supplements. These are all natural and contain naturally occurring levels of nutrients. One i recommend looking at is Vegetein by Nuriche. Also at different stages of pregnancy some foods/supplements are not safe to consume. Ask your physician for advice on specifics. Mention the product to get expert advice. Hope this helps.

I haven't forgotten you. My doc hasn't ever gotten back to me on that. If and when he does I'll let you know.

I had a doctors appointment on Tuesday and I asked my doctor by showing her an empty can. She said they were fine because they were low in protien. She did recommend to supplement shortly after with some type of whole grain like a small bagel or toast.

My doctor got back to me and told me it is the Special K Protein shakes are the ones he recommended. He did say that any and all are usually okay though.
