Milk Boosting Apple Cinnamon Smoothie

As a first time Mama, I’ve quickly learned that either I make something that’s fast and easy first thing in the morning or I don’t eat until well after noon (insert face palm over some very tired eyes here!). I came across this amazing smoothie recipe by Lulu the Baker and after trying it with a few mods and additions to capitalize on the milk boosting potential, I was hooked. Ya’ll, it is literally like having dessert for breakfast and I’m all about that life 😊

The milk boosters in this smoothie are the brewer’s yeast and oats, so feel free to add a bit more if you’d like (but be warned, too much brewer’s yeast may give the smoothie a bit of a beer taste!). While nursing, it’s really important to get enough protein and carbohydrates in your diet, and this recipe has you covered, clocking in at about 30 grams of protein and 80 grams of carbohydrates 👏🏼

Ingredients:

• 1 Large Organic Red Apple
• 1 tsp Cinnamon
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 1 tsp Brewer’s Yeast
• 1/2 cup Old Fashioned Rolled Oats (I used Bob’s Red Mill gluten free oats)
• 1 cup Ripple Unsweetened Original or Unsweetened Vanilla plant based milk
• 1 TBSP Nut butter of choice
• 1 Scoop Shaklee Vanilla Life Protein
• 1/2 cup Ice (optional, but makes it nice and cold!)

Blend all ingredients together until smooth and viola: amazing deliciousness for breakfast that will help boost your milk supply and a nutritious breakfast for your other family members as well 😉

Enjoy, Mamas!
