🌿 Type: Lactation Smoothie

This energizing blueberry smoothie is designed specifically to support breastfeeding moms by helping increase milk supply naturally. It combines antioxidant-rich blueberries, milk-enhancing oats, flaxseeds, and protein-packed Greek yogurt in a refreshing and quick blend.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup frozen blueberries
• 1/4 cup rolled oats
• 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
• 1/2 banana
• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or dairy-free alternative)
• 1 cup almond milk (or any milk of choice)
• 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

1. Place all ingredients in a high-speed blender.
2. Blend until smooth and creamy.
3. Adjust sweetness or thickness as needed with more honey or milk.
4. Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately. Optional: add ice for extra refreshment.

Why This Smoothie Boosts Milk Supply

Oats and flaxseeds are galactagogues — foods known to promote breast milk production. Greek yogurt provides protein and probiotics, essential for postpartum recovery. Blueberries offer antioxidants that strengthen immunity for both mom and baby. Banana and milk deliver potassium and hydration, vital while nursing.

Tips for Best Results

• Use rolled oats: Instant oats don’t have the same milk-boosting benefits.
• Soak oats overnight: For smoother texture and better digestion.
• Drink in the morning: Hydration and nutrients are best absorbed early in the day.
• Add brewer’s yeast: 1/2 tsp for even more lactation support.
