The Benefits
So what makes these the perfect snack for when you’re having a sweet craving? Here are some benefits:
Rich in Protein
Protein is an essential part of any diet, especially for pregnant and breastfeeding moms. Protein is needed by the cells in our bodies as it helps to perform the following functions:
- Provide energy
- Hormone production
- Maintain muscle
- Support immune health
- …and more!
For all of these reasons, it’s recommended that we have protein with every meal. Our Majka Nourishing Lactation Powder is designed to sustain your body and keep you fuller, longer, as it contains 13 grams of protein per serving. In combination with the raw cashews, this recipe is an amazing way to add a boost of protein into your diet.
Healthy Fats
The cashews in this recipe are amazing source of healthy fats. It’s so important to incorporate healthy fats (unsaturated fats) into your diet because they provide your body with the fuel it needs. Don’t let the myths out there fool you--fat isn’t something to be afraid of!
According to Mayo Clinic, eating foods rich in monounsaturated fatty acids improves blood cholesterol levels, which can decrease your risk of heart disease. Research also shows that fatty acids may benefit insulin levels and blood sugar control, which can be especially helpful if you have type 2 diabetes.
Contains Prebiotics & Probiotics
Majka’s Nourishing Lactation Powder is easy to digest thanks to its prebiotic and probiotic blend. When developing our formula, this was one of the things that was #1 on our list, as many protein powders on the market don’t take this into consideration.
Our prebiotic and probiotic blend boosts mother and baby’s immune systems, eliminates toxins, and has anti-inflammatory properties that fight against various diseases.
A Boost Of Lactation Support
With all of these health benefits, this recipe is amazing for pregnant and nursing moms! Our Majka Nourishing Lactation Powder is rich in nutrients your body heavily relies on at this time. Fenugreek, organic ginger root, turmeric root extract, and other natural ingredients found in Majka’s scientifically formulated lactation blend can have positive effects on breast milk supply.
