Have milk with protein powder twice a day

Thanks dr. please suggest some protein powder that I should have. Also is it safe to have ghee during this time? I am breastfeeding so I hope it will not affect my baby's digestive system. And what all dietary precautions should I take?
Lastly I want to thank u for your support during my pregnancy. I have delivered a baby boy on 6th August. :-)
