Let's talk COLLAGEN!
I often get asked what protein powder I recommend for pregnancy. As someone who hates the taste of protein powder, I love adding collagen to my smoothies, especially smoothies that are designed for pregnancy 🤰🏼 and postpartum health. Collagen is tasteless, a good source of protein and has the amino acids glycine, which is needed for a growing uterus and fetal development, and proline, found in breast milk. I just hit the 3rd trimester, when protein needs increase, and collagen helps me meet my daily goal. Plus, it may help with skin elasticity (i.e. prevent stretch marks 🙏🏼) and help reduce joint pain. Link in bio if you want to read more about collagen benefits in pregnancy!
One brand that checks all of my boxes on what to look for in a collagen is collagen peptides. Serious thanks and shout out to our friends at needed for sharing a bag of its collagen peptides for one lucky person.
