What type of postpartum goodies do you enjoy or love to gift? These items may not be everyone's cup of tea, but here are a few of their benefits to keep food as your recovery medicine!
🦴Bone broth. Full of proteins like collagen, as well as amino acids and electrolytes. It can improve gut health and tissue repair!
🥣Lentil soup. Lentils are full of fiber, potassium, magnesium, and antioxidants. This soup combines them with iron rich leafy greens and protein/vitamin dense quinoa! Warmth is also a key element for postpartum body recovery because so much warmth is lost through delivery.
💚Seaweed. An excellent source of iodine, antioxidants and vitamins. Iodine can be a tricky mineral to get but its crucial in thyroid function. 1 out of 12 woman will experience postpartum thyroiditis which has symptoms of anxiety, palpitations, hair loss and depression.
🐟Sardines. Maybe not a crowd favorite lol. These little powerhouses have an abundance of Omega-3 fats that aid against inflammation. As well as protein, iron, selenium and calcium.
On the more delicious side. We've got chocolate cherry granola power balls and date pumpkin molasses muffins!
Tell me your go to recovery meal/snack!
