🌾 Why These Ingredients Matter for Postpartum:

• Oats: Gentle on digestion and supportive of milk production.

• Almond + Cashew Butter: Packed with healthy fats and minerals that stabilize blood sugar and help regulate postpartum hormones.

• Chia Seeds: Rich in fiber and omega-3s to ease constipation and support brain health.

• Collagen: Optional, but incredibly helpful for tissue healing, skin repair, and joint recovery.

• Cinnamon: A warming spice used in traditional postpartum practices to stimulate circulation and digestion—especially important after birth.
