FAQ
Q: Can I eat these recipes while breastfeeding?
A: Absolutely. Both recipes are designed to support postpartum and breastfeeding health. The stew contains iron and anti-inflammatory ingredients, while the energy bites are rich in fiber, healthy fats, and optional lactation boosters like brewer’s yeast.
Q: Can I prep these recipes before giving birth?
A: Yes. The stew freezes well, and the energy bites can be made ahead and stored in the fridge or freezer. Prepping these meals beforehand can be a lifesaver during those early newborn days.
Q: What if I have dietary restrictions?
A: Both recipes are gluten-free (if using certified oats), dairy-free, and vegetarian. You can customize ingredients to suit your dietary needs, such as using sunflower seed butter for nut allergies.
