Fenugreek & Almond Overnight Oats for Milk Flow

These Fenugreek & Almond Overnight Oats are a delicious, lactation-boosting powerhouse for breastfeeding moms. Fenugreek has long been used as a natural galactagogue, while almonds, oats, and flaxseeds provide healthy fats, fiber, and plant-based protein to help sustain milk flow and nourish the postpartum body. Ideal for busy mornings or midnight feedings, this no-cook recipe is rich, creamy, and customizable to every mom’s taste and needs.
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 tbsp ground flaxseed
- 1 tsp fenugreek powder (or soaked seeds)

- 3/4 cup milk of choice (almond, oat, cow’s milk)
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 banana (optional, mashed)
- Fresh berries or fruit for topping
Instructions
- In a bowl or jar, mix oats, flaxseed, fenugreek, almonds, cinnamon, and sweetener.

- In the morning, top with fresh fruit or a spoon of almond butter.
- Enjoy cold, or warm slightly in the microwave if preferred.
Why It Boosts Milk Supply
Fenugreek is a traditional herb believed to increase milk production by stimulating sweat glands, which include the milk ducts. Oats and flaxseeds are naturally rich in phytoestrogens and iron, which support hormonal balance and blood health, both key for optimal lactation. Almonds are an excellent source of calcium and healthy fats, which enhance the quality of breast milk.
Tips & Variations
- Vegan version: Use coconut yogurt and almond or oat milk.
- Nut-free? Replace almonds with sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds.
- Extra calories for milk: Add 1 tbsp peanut or almond butter.
- Sweet tooth? Add raisins, dates, or a few dark chocolate chips.
