Breastfeeding and losing weight is a difficult task for almost every mama. The goal is to keep up your milk supply, while also losing the extra baby weight gained during pregnancy. This is exactly what your body is supposed to do after having a baby: use stored fat to help produce a healthy supply of breast milk. START THE CHALLENGE NOW! But, with all the processed and yummy treats available today, it is so easy to survive off a less-than-nutritious diet. We fill our plates with foods and dishes that are created for flavor and comfort, rather than nourishment. This is where breastfeeding mamas can have some issues because if your body is in a nutrient-deprived state, it won’t want to let go of fat as easily. You can force it to do so by eating too few calories, so it has to burn fat cells, but you can also…

Pumpkin pie starts coming on my mind as soon as Starbucks releases the Pumpkin Spice Latte. I love pumpkin pie, and a pumpkin pie protein shake is such a delicious, healthy way to get in your pumpkin pie cravings! The protein powder I use is super clean, safe and full of extra nutrients and vitamins. I discovered the company and fell in love with them. I also suggest this protein powder for all my mamas in my postpartum weight loss and recovery plan. The meal plan incorporates protein smoothies as a super quick and efficient way for mamas to get nutrients in that are so necessary for breastfeeding! Since I created this recipe, I’ve launched Milk Dust, a breastfeeding protein powder that helps with weight loss and lactation. So many mamas are loving it because they are increasing their milk supply, and not craving so much sugar! I highly recommend…

This lactation shake is good. Like so good. It is absolutely perfect for mamas looking to keep their milk supply up, while losing the baby weight. First, it is full of blueberries which are wonderful for milk supply. See my 5 best foods for increasing milk supply and losing the baby weight to know more about what blueberries do. Anyways, the dark chocolate aspect really takes the standard blueberry smoothie to another level. Think of the chocolate covered blueberries you can get at Costco. Like that but healthy. It also secretly has a handful of spinach, for an extra milk-boost, and you will never know it is there. Lucky you 🙂 Part of the reason this is so good for your milk supply AND weight loss is because of the protein powder I use.

I am a huge fan of green protein shakes, especially milk-boosting ones. I love how you can throw in a bunch of spinach, and with the right blend of an awesome protein powder and ingredients, it tastes like the best dessert ever. I have no clue there is any spinach in it! This green lactation protein shake is no different. It is made with yummy and sweet kiwis, so there’s lots of sweet flavor, blended with my absolute favorite protein powder (super clean, no chemicals, no artificial sweetener, no fillers, full of superfoods…read more in this post, or watch my video below). Because I blend this with a superfoods protein powder, the protein powder itself has tons of milk-boosting ingredients. Green veggies like kale and special additions like Tumeric. There are also the digestive enzymes added to the powder, which help you break down and absorb all the protein and…
This lactation protein shake is totally amazing, both in taste and for postpartum mamas, who are concerned with keeping up their milk supply while working on losing the baby weight. They key with keeping your supply up is the amount of nutrients you give to your body. This lactation shake is full of awesome nutrients! The protein powder I use is absolutely, hands-down amazing because it is full of super foods, veggies, fruits and even tumeric. All of which aid your body in milk production. Your body is also way more willing to let go of fat when you give it enough nutrition. I don’t know about you, but I’m not going to blend kale, broccoli, cranberries, tumeric and all sorts of other amazing foods in one smoothie. I think I would just gag. But, this protein powder is full of what you need, in addition to having DIGESTIVE ENZYMES!!…
