Overnight Oats (in a jar!)

Have you heard of galactogogues? I know it sounds like a mouthfull, but if your a breastfeeding momma they can be a total lifesaver. Galactogogues are naturally occuring compounds found in a few foods such as oatmeal, fennel, barley, nuts and seeds, dark leafy greens and chickpeas. Many mothers I counsel struggle with low milk supply, and while low supply can be multi factorial, implementing galactogogues through food sources can give you the added  boost you need.

I love creating quick + easy recipes for moms that will boost their milk supply, supply extra nutrients and quick energy.

Here's what you'll need: (one serving)

  • 1/2 C Rolled Oats

  • 1/2 Milk of Choice (dairy or plant based)

  • 1 Tsp Maple Syrup

  • Vanilla Extract

  • Toppings of Choice: berries, nuts, seeds, coconut, flax seed

Directions

  1. Combine all ingredients in a jar

  2. Cover and chill overnight at least 6 hours

  3. Add toppings and enjoy!
