Overnight Pistachio Cacao Oatmeal Recipe for Postpartum

Hello friends,

During postpartum finding quick but nourishing breakfast options can feel daunting. not to mention the worry if the meal will have enough calories to support your lactation journey. While there is mixed information and not enough studies around galactagogues, there is enough experience that my own eyes have seen through these beautiful thirteen years as a doula. I believe that with the proper latch, nourishing calories and rest, mommas have much more success than not.

Make these:

• ½ cup rolled oats

• ½ cup milk

• ½ cup Greek yogurt

• 1 tbsp collagen powder

• 1 tbsp ground pistachios or pistachio butter

• 1 tbsp chia seeds

• 1 tbsp cacao nibs

• pinch of sea salt

In a mixing bowl, combine the oats, milk, lemon juice + zest. Mix well. Place in small Weck storage containers in the refrigerator overnight for 6-10 hours. Create the blueberry filling by adding berries to a saucepan with the chia seeds and maple syrup until they soften. Allow to simmer for 5-10 minutes. Allow to cool before topping on your oats the next morning. Eat warm or cold! Enjoy!
