So I wanted to address a question Ive been getting lately: Is Shakeology safe while pregnant/nursing? - its a GREAT question! As with anything new while pregnant, its always good to talk to your doctor (or take a sample to show whats in it). This will give you a peace of mind and your OB as well. I personally having been drinking Shakeology while pregnant and will continue as long as Im nursing as well. 1. I drink it because it is a health shake (not a weight loss shake only) you replace a meal with Shakeology because it has everything your body needs in one glass (like taking the healthiest salad on the planet and putting it in a blender). 2. There is nothing hidden or sneaky in it that could be harmful to you or baby (unless you have allergies to certain foods, of course). It does not contain soy or gluten. The vegan formula does not have dairy either. 3. It ensures that Im giving my body the plant based vitamins and minerals that it needs each day for optimum health. (The best health!) *While nursing, you do need to be eating up to 500 extra calories a day, so, in that case, I plan to add extra fruit or peanut butter to my shake to add extra calories. In addition to balanced meals throughout the day. I hope that this information helps!!! Cheers to a healthy pregnancy and successful nursing!! :)
