I am just a mama with lots of health and fitness knowledge and experience.
Smoothies are a great tool for boosting milk supply, as well as giving your body the nutrients it needs to heal and repair after baby. There is so much happening during the 4th trimester, and your body will be so happy you’ve given it all the nutrients it needs! My ebook of postpartum recipes for milk supply and weight loss has more smoothe recipes for you, and I LOVE sharing my smoothies on Instagram.
I have found smoothies to be so helpful both during pregnancy and postpartum. I use them as snacks for meal replacements, and as a quick and delicious way to get in a lot of nutrients. I will sometimes be craving all my kids chips, goldfish and macaroni and cheese, but get a smoothie down and feel amazing. And there’s little clean up! Just throw some goodies in a blender and go. As a new mommy, the salad prep can sometimes be too much, so I moved to smoothies as a quick, delicious way to still get in the lean protein, fruits and veggies that my body and milk supply need.
If you need a good protein powder for your shakes, you need to try Milk Dust! I created Milk Dust specifically to boost milk supply, help with weight loss and nourish postpartum mamas with the specific nutrients they need to heal. Milk Dust has an amazing, free ebook of lactation smoothie recipes, and you can follow testimonials and reviews on Instagram. You can see all the mamas losing weight without losing their supply by using Milk Dust. Milk Dust is also on Amazon, if you prefer to buy there too!
If you need help losing the baby weight and keeping up your milk supply, I have a very popular program, The Postpartum Cure, which provides you with your diet and nutrition plan to lose weight, not milk supply!
