Pink Stork Pregnancy and Postpartum Protein Powder: Chocolate Truffle Protein Powder for Women, Collagen, Whey Protein, Calcium, Vitamins for Women, Women-Owned, 15 Servings (483 g)

This product is third party tested and contains 20 grams of protein. In addition, you have bovine collagen which has been shown by research to not only support your lactation needs but also aid in fat burning, restore hair loss, and support nail growth. Rarely have I seen a combination of both while also only consisting of 90 calories. The taste and mixing of the product is good in a smoothie. The fact this product is third party tested is a huge plus and seems to be priced right. One thing that has always concerned me is the amount of heavy metals in protein products. Because protein is not regulated by the FDA, companies can have heavy metals in protein such as lead or arsenic. This is a huge concern for health reasons, and especially if you are trying to conceive, are pregnant, or nursing. If you don’t believe me, go on Labdoor’s website, a third party company that tests supplements. You will see the heavy metal constituents of each product, even those graded as an “A”. That is. Anecdotally, I have found that protein products third party tested (such as NSF certified) for heavy metals generally are more expensive (around 50 dollars or so for 20 servings). I have also found that proteins that are cheaper also lack in ingredients. Such as whey protein being the second or third ingredient rather than the first. Or sugar being the second or third ingredient. For that reason, typically these products are high in caloric intake. The product may taste great, but it means it is more processed and consists of ingredients that are counterproductive to weight management goals. That being said, I have found proteins that have desirable healthy ingredient lists generally do not taste super great or do not mix well in a shaker bottle. This is like most foods that are healthy. They don’t taste like cake and maybe that’s for a good reason. If you mix this in a smoothie blender with some frozen strawberries, yogurt, and oats it not only helps with the taste but also supports postpartum recovery as well.

I love this protein powder. I used it before I conceived and have been using it the whole pregnancy so far (23 weeks now) and it tastes really good and isn't chalky. I sometimes drink it with just water, but most often I add it to my smoothies! It is really tasty and helps me feel full and like I am helping both my body and my baby. I've tried many many protein powders, not necessarily for pregnancy, but I was skeptical at first this one would taste good. It is actually one of my favorites and I will continue to buy this and take it even after I give birth. I am on my 3rd container of it!

I really appreciated that the container was only as big as it needed to be! Anyone who uses protien poweder regularly knows that the containers can be ridiculously oversized, so this more compact container is wonderful. The poweder itself seemed to almost stick to itself so it didn't cling to the scoop or my finger when I touched it and didn't send poweder flying everywhere. The taste is great!!! A little on the sweet side for my preference, but would definitely help curb a sugar craving as it does hit that sweet note! I mixed mine (I got the chocolate truffle) with milk and it was silky smooth from start to finish without leaving much of an aftertaste. It is a little on the pricey side, but this has been my favorite protien powder that I've tried. So to summarize: PROS - Tastes amazing - Smooth texture - Easy to drink - Mixes nicely - Appropriate size packaging - Poweder doesn't fly everywhere CONS - On the sweet side (personal taste) - Higher price point Overall I think it's a great product and worth a try!

So I’m super picky when it comes to taste and texture and have had bad luck with other brands, but this Protein powder is super smooth and tastes great!! I couldn’t be more in love with it. Definitely worth a try.

I have been taking protein for a long time and I was looking for a pregnancy safe protein. I realize everyone's tastes are different but this was probably the worst tasting protein I've consumed. It was so, so sweet and doesn't blend well with anything. I tried nutella, a banana, other fruit like berries and it's just awful. And it's expensive protein. I really wish I could return it or get my money back. Definitely don't recommend.
