Protein powder safe while breastfeeding?

[holdontohope]

I would really like to add protein powder to my diet. Maybe to a smoothie or something? I crave peanut butter and turkey constantly because of the protein. I also have a hard time feeling "full"

I am EBF and want a recommendation for a protein powder that's safe for her. Maybe something dairy free also!! Just SAFE is my biggest concern

Thanks!!!!!

I don't see why it would be unsafe, I've had a couple of shakes in the past 7 months that had it...

Most are as long as they are plain and don't have strong herbs added or excess vitamin A added either. I don't know which brands you have in the US but there are plenty of non dairy protein powders out there, not only soya based but other sources of plant based protein-I know in the UK there are hemp based ones for example xx

I have smothies with spirulina powder in them and breastfeed It is quite strong in flavour so I normally put blueberries or something to cover it. I also have banana in it. You can use almond milk or something instead of dairy too.
