Lactation smoothie recipes
Posted on
These recipes aren't too different to standard smoothies but they contain ingredients that are said to help boost milk supply (Woop Woop!) According to Belly Belly, fenugreek, oats, brewer's yeast, and nuts can all increase lactation. Spinach and flax contain phytoestrogens which is thought to promote lactation, as well. Having them in smoothie form can also make them easier and tastier to drink. Some of these recipes also have added energy boosting ingredients like bananas which also give sleep deprived mamas a little boost!
