I wrote this poem when I was 4 months postpartum. Definitely feel this phase is long behind now, so if you’re in the trenches of early motherhood, it doesn’t last forever! ❤️

5 easy steps to make these immunity gummies!! I used Immune support mixed with water (my kids will NOT have it as a drink but love it in these gummies!). Such an easy way to add in some extra nutrients in the form of a fun treat. To be clear, gummies (no matter how ‘healthy’) are always an exciting treat in my book!

I have 21 fun and creative recipes like this in my e-book The Pick-Me-Up recipe book. Link in bio!

Quinoa Crunch Bars 😋 3 simple ingredients that come together in no time and leave you with this delicious and protein-rich crunch bar. I love using quinoa in snacks because it a complete plant protein and has tons of fiber. Here’s how I made them:

Ingredients:
2 cups puffed quinoa
1/2 cup nut butter
1/4 cup maple syrup
Pinch of sea salt
Optional: seeds or nuts to top (I used zinc-rich pumpkin seeds)

Directions:
Simply mix all ingredients together and spread evenly into a parchment paper lined Pyrex. Pop in the fridge for an hour and slice. Yum! They’re great for adding to kids’ lunch boxes too.

Make sure to follow along for more simple yet nourishing recipe ideas!

A Birth Day Letter: a letter to myself the day I became a mother 🤍

Just little reminders I wish I had early on! Go on, mother from your intuition, keep doing all the ‘bad habits,’ and live your life because every phase passes and soon you’ll wonder where your little baby went 🥹

Postpartum, I found this reminder to be both comforting and heartbreaking. The long nights, the cluster feeding, the exhaustion, the dark circles and unwashed hair…don’t worry, they won’t last. But also, neither does this tiny, innocent version of your baby.
They grow.
They stretch out.
They become a little more independent.
The cuddles get a bit more awkward… but somehow just as sweet.

The second time around, I carried more perspective. On the hard days, I’d whisper this to myself: ‘nothing lasts forever.’ It helped me breathe through the moment and hold it a little closer. To remember (now through my loved experience) that none of it lasts. And writing that makes me tear up now on the other side of postpartum 🥹
If this is your first postpartum season, maybe this will help you too. ♥️

Postpartum nutrition advice I’d give you if I weren’t afraid to hurt your feelings. 🥲 This is rooted in physiology, traditional postpartum care, and what I’ve learned as a Certified Postpartum Nutrition Consultant.

• After birth, the body is depleted and vulnerable. Many traditional systems describe this as cold and open, which is why warmth is emphasized.
• Cold foods and drinks like ice water and smoothies can stress digestion and worsen bloating, fatigue, and nutrient absorption postpartum.
• Warm, soft, cooked foods are easier to digest and support healing. Soups, stews, porridges, eggs, rice, and slow-cooked vegetables are foundational.
• Protein is essential postpartum. It supports tissue repair, hormone production, blood sugar stability, and milk synthesis.
• Low mood postpartum is not always emotional. Nutrition status plays a significant role.
• Iron deficiency and thyroid dysfunction are common postpartum and can contribute to fatigue, low mood, and low milk supply. These are worth checking.
• Traditional postpartum care often included food and herbs. Saffron has been used for mood support, and shatavari for hormonal balance and lactation, often through food before supplements.
• Milk production is not just about supply. Oxytocin is required for letdown, and chronic stress can interfere. Warmth, nourishment, and support matter. Budget for it and prioritize it when you can.

Questions! My DMs are always open! Share with a friend in postpartum or a mama-to-be planning for her fourth trimester 💫 You’ve got this!

Okay, while these are just one of many recipes and tips I’d offer for supporting your postpartum, these little no-bake bites certainly satisfy and are your recovering body’s bff! I call them Marzipan Mellow Out Balls (page 13 of my e-book) and they are SO easy and SO good. I grabbed one after the other postpartum (and still make them when I’m feeling snacky and need something quick). The shatavari in them is a known galactagogue and can help support a more zen mood. 🧘🏻‍♀️ Share with a mama friend!

INGREDIENTS
3/4 cup oat flour
3/4 cup almond flour
1/2 cup cashew butter
3-4 TBS maple syrup
1 tsp almond extract
1-2 tsp almond milk
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
1 tsp shatavari (optional)

DIRECTIONS
Mix all ingredients together until smooth. Add more flour if too loose. Roll into balls.

Stick in fridge or freezer for 30 minutes to set.

Enjoy!

We all need our ‘why’ when it comes to nutrition. When you’re a mom, it can be easy to give your kids the very best meals and snacks and forget about yourself. You might not realize just how important prioritizing key nutrients are for you NOW and in the long term. I’m not always perfect at practicing what I preach, but when I do, I’m such a better mom (wife, friend, daughter etc!). This Orange Collagen Hot Cocoa 🍊🍫 from pg 46 of my Pick-Me-Up recipe book (link in bio!) is a wonderful afternoon treat that not only tastes delicious, it nourishes with things like magnesium, vitamin c, healthy fats for satiety and collagen for skin/hair/tissues/joints. Let me know if you make it!

Orange Collagen Hot Cocoa

INGREDIENTS
1 tbs cacao
juice from ½ orange zest from 1 orange
1/2 Tbs grass fed butter
2 tsp maple syrup
2 tsp date syrup (or increase maple syrup)
1 tsp cornmeal
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1 tbs cashew butter
1 scoop collagen
2 cups water or milk
orange peel for serving

DIRECTIONS
Add all ingredients to a pot and simmer on med-low, whisking continuously. Pour into mugs and top with orange zest and more cinnamon. Sip with a loved one and take some deep belly breaths.
