Lactation Smoothie Recipe to Boost Milk Supply
If you’re looking for the perfect lactation smoothie to boost your milk supply, look no further than this recipe! This is the simplest recipe to make when you are breastfeeding and in need of a quick snack or meal. Breastfeeding protein powder can also be a great addition to your diet to boost vitamins and lactogenic foods.
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.
This recipe takes 5 minutes to make, including gathering the ingredients and blending them up! And, best of all, there are only four ingredients!
