Two quick and easy recipes for breastfeeding mamas. Nutrient dense and quick to prepare, these two meals well boost your energy and nourish your supply.
1 cup steel-cut oats
1/2 cup chia seeds
1/2 cup millet
1/4 cup flaxseeds
1 cup medjool dates
1 cup Turkish apricots
1/2 cup raw almonds
1/2 tsp Himalayan sea salt
1 apple (Pink Lady or Honey Crisp)
4 cups whole milk or milk alternative (almond or cashew milk), plus extra to loosen
1 tbsp maple syrup or agave
1 tsp blackstrap molasses
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
Fresh seasonal berries
A sealable container, like Glasslock
*Try and select organic and local produce.
Mix steel-cut oats, chia, millet, flaxseed, and salt. Roughly chop dates, apricots, and almonds and mix in with grains. Grate apple and mix in with grains and other fruit. Pour over milk to cover. Stir in maple syrup, molasses, and vanilla extract. The next morning the grains will have swelled and might be a little thick, so make sure to loosen it with a little milk. Serve up a portion, top with fresh berries, and eat.
This recipe makes 4 meals. For leftover porridge, cover with enough milk to top and leave to continue soaking until your next meal.
