I have been using protein powder for shakes and in my oatmeal for the past month or so. I am also 27 weeks pregnant. The protein powder that I use is Quest vanilla, and the ingredients listed are:
Other Ingredients: Protein blend (whey protein isolate, micellar casein, milk protein isolate), cocoa, natural flavors, contains less than 2% of the following: sunflower lecithin, xanthan gum, cellulose gum, steviol glycosides (stevia), salt sucralose. Contains: milk-derived ingredients.
Is this powder safe during pregnancy? My one midwife said protein powders are fine but that’s just one opinion haha.
