This is the simplest recipe to make when you are breastfeeding and in need of a quick snack or meal. It contains healthy fats for both you and your baby, and milk-boosting foods like oats and almonds. Almonds contain a high amount of magnesium and calcium- both of which you need in pregnancy and postpartum to help your body recover and replace maternal stores used to produce breastmilk.
Equipment
- Blender
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup Oats (traditional for more milk-boosting power)
- 1 Banana
- 2 tbsps All Natural Peanut Butter
- 1/2 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
Instructions
- Place all ingredients into a blender and blend well until smooth.
- Divide into glasses and enjoy! (Note: This smoothie will thicken if not had right away. Just add a splash of almond milk until you reach your desired consistency.)
Notes
Storage: Store in a mason jar with a lid in the fridge up to 48 hours.
