Protein powder mixed into coconut milk or nut milk?

 

That's what I do for extra protein.

Shannon, absolutely everything has protein in it to a greater or lesser

degree. Nuts and beans are extremely food sources of protein and one

serving of almonds (sufficient for one meal) is 8 - 11 nuts depending on

size. It might not be as hard as you think.

 

Grains also are a good source of protein and grains like quinoa are quite

high in protein counts. Use quinoa in place of couscous (a pasta grain), or

make a hot cereal for the morning.

 

There is a vegetarian food guide which contains a protein section not based

on meat, although it does have some animal products like cheese, and it may

indicate gluten as protein source. You will have to adapt it according to

your restrictions, but looking at that would probably help ease your mind.

Hi Shannon;

 

Here is a lovely article on health vegan diet for pregnancy, soy is entirely

optional!

The midwife said that's how much I need. That seems like a lot. I

really don't want a lot of soy.

 

Thanks,

I made smoothies with a protein powder mix made from brown rice

Hemp protein is inexpensive and from my understanding, the least likely to

create an

allergy. I get just pure hemp protein (although you can purchase the seeds whole

in the

refrigeration section of your local food store) and I put it on pretty much

everything for me

and my baby. The only thing is you can't cook it or the fats turn into the bad

kind.

Good luck!
