Get the recipe: The Best Lactation Energy Bites
These quick and healthy Lactation Energy Bites are a perfect energy-boosting snack for expecting and postpartum mamas. They include ingredients that can help with milk supply, such as brewer’s yeast, flax seeds, and oats.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup instant oats
- 3/4 cup rolled oats, or old-fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter, or nut butter
- 1/3 cup agave nectar or honey
- 1/4 cup brewer's yeast
- 1/4 cup ground flax seeds
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Stir: in a large bowl, add in the peanut butter and agave nectar and stir.
- Add Ingredients: add in the oats, brewer's yeast, ground flax seeds, vanilla extract, and chocolate chips. Stir until combined.
- Chill: place the bowl in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, but for up to 3 hours.
- Roll: take roughly 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it into a smooth ball. If your hands get too sticky, you can run them under warm water first before rolling the balls.
Notes
Storage: you can store these bites in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Varieties: I added 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder to a batch of these to get the double chocolate variation. Here are some more great add-ins for these lactation energy bites.
Instead of the Chocolate Chips:
- chopped walnuts, pecans or almonds
- white chocolate chips
- sprinkles
- dried blueberries
- freeze-dried strawberries
- dried apples - chopped
- dried cherries - chopped
- toasted shredded coconut
- almond butter
- Nutella
- cashew butter
- seed butter
