I loooove the mountain joes protein bars, the flapjack ones are so good and don’t have that weird texture/flavour of other bars. For shakes, I like the clear protein from my protein because it’s just like squash rather than a creamy shake or the protein coffee coolers are good too but obviously need to be mindful about other caffeine consumption
@Maria I didn't take protein shakes or anything with my son and breastfed him for a year but due to other circumstances this time I've been advised to increase my protein intake so just looking for something to add to my morning smoothie that's safe for both me and my little girl 🙂
@Elaine try tummy-tox.com they do a breastfeeding tea which increases lactation
@Hannah thank you are the clear protein ok for breastfeeding? I asked today and the response was cryptic didn't answer based on the product I was referring to and just said this. I was looking at the vegan ones not because I'm vegan but because wanted something clean and not whey based
@Maria thank you for this 😊 My lactation isn't a issue (at the moment anyway 🙈) I am breastfeeding on demand and express 8/9 oz bottle before bed to get a freezer supply. The protein is for my own health reasons just don't want to take anything that would have a negative impact on my little ones breastfeeding journey.
@Elaine yes I believe it’s all okay to have while breastfeeding
Never done protein shakes. Found that eating 3 full meals a day plus snacks and fruits and drinking a lot of water helped better than anything. ( keeping a high milk supply)
