These nourishing no-bake treats are packed with wholesome ingredients like oats, flax seeds, and brewer’s yeast – specially designed to support nursing mothers and their milk supply. As a busy mom of two, I love how quickly they come together and that I can grab them straight from the fridge whenever I need a boost throughout the day. Perfect for meal prep, they’ll keep for up to two weeks when stored properly, making them an ideal gift for new moms or a lifesaver during those early postpartum weeks when cooking is the last thing on your mind.
