🍜🤱🏼Protein Packed Snacks & Meals for Postpartum

Apr 2

Hello Mommas,

Happy April! Every day I support postpartum mommas and I notice a similar trend - not enough protein! Do you feel you struggle in this area too? I know I constantly need to remind myself to have more protein. And for me it’s very important about what is the source and quality of the protein. Protein during postpartum is so vital. Often times when I hear a momma is feeling sluggish and fatigued, I notice a direct correlation to low protein in their diet. I have found that sprinkling additional protein in these gentle ways can often be better for the digestive system.

If you are finding that adding processed protein bar isn’t helping towards your protein & digestion needs, try these suggestions ⬇️
