Lactation Breakfast Bowl

I ate this lactation breakfast bowl almost every morning I was breastfeeding and I was lucky to have an oversupply of milk.

The recipe for this insanely delicious Lactation Breakfast Bowl makes 2 portions. I usually kept the second portion for the next day so I didn’t have to make it every single day when I was breastfeeding. But you can also split it with a friend, or your partner.

It’s also super easy to whip up, even your partner can do it for you!

Galactagogues are foods that are believed to increase breastmilk supply. While there is no medical evidence of this, some women find them helpful. One of those women is me, and this recipe has two of those foods. Oats and flaxseeds. I also added chia seeds and hemp seeds to bump up the protein, which is good for your breastmilk quality.

To boost my supply, I also drank this tea twice a day in addition to eating my lactation breakfast bowl.

Ingredient Notes:

• Greek Yogurt – I used full-fat because it’s better for your milk supply!
• Mush Overnight Oats – I can find these anywhere now. They’re normally too sweet for me, but since I mix it with all the other ingredients and don’t add anything else sweet, it ends up being pretty damn perfect. I love the dark chocolate and apple cinnamon flavors, but really, they’re all good and work well for this recipe.
• Cinnamon – I use Burlap & Barrel’s Royal Cinnamon, which you can find on Amazon or on their website.
• Milk of Choice – You can use oat milk to boost your milk supply even more. But you can also use whole milk, almond, or coconut. Really it’s whatever you prefer or have in the house.
• Granola of Choice – My favorite is a brand called Purely Elizabeth, which you can find in many grocery stores and also here on Amazon. I like to buy multiple flavors and switch it up. They’re also, of course, gluten-free.

Instructions

 

• In a medium mixing bowl, mash the banana with a fork. Add the yogurt, overnight oats, chia seeds, flax seeds, hemp seeds, cinnamon, and a pinch of sea salt. Mix well to combine. Add the milk and stir until fully incorporated. Let sit for 10 minutes to thicken slightly. Divide between bowls and top with granola and berries. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

I like to make this and keep the second portion in a bowl covered in the refrigerator ready to go for the next day (without the granola and berries added). It does thicken overnight, so you may need to stir in a bit more milk before eating the next day.
