Did you know breastfeeding mamas need twice as much protein as non-pregnant, non-nursing women? This means that whenever you can sneak protein into a meal, it’s well worth it to do so! To provide a meal idea that’s delicious and very rich in protein (think 26g worth!), we created these 4 recipes that our community raves about!
Majka Chocolate Cherry Berry Smoothie
This smoothie features our Majka Nourishing Lactation Protein Powder too! We used the chocolate flavor in this recipe because it alone provides three different vegetarian protein sources.
We weren’t kidding when we said protein intake is a big deal! Our NLPP also provides essential daily vitamins and nutrients added specifically to help nourish your breastfeeding body by enriching your supply and making you feel like an energized powerhouse. I’m sure we can all agree that anything that energizes us is a must!
It’s smoothie time!

Our Nourishing Lactation Protein Powder also contains ingredients chosen for the baby. Take choline, for example, an ingredient that supports infant brain development. That, combined with probiotics, allow this powder to help boost the immune system (for mom and baby!), eliminate toxins, fight inflammation, and so much more.
Majka Chai Spice Banana Bake Oatmeal
What’s even better is when that bowl of comfort oatmeal doubles as a nourishing all-in-one lactation supplement. That’s where we come in!
This Chai-Spiced Banana Baked Oatmeal recipe is perfect for mamas craving a nice warm comfort food that has sustenance and value. This recipe provides all key nutrients, combining a blend of almond milk, rolled oats, bananas, maple syrup, pecans, and dates for a delicious meal that’s filling and satisfying.
Plus, since it includes our Nourishing Lactation Protein Powder, this is oatmeal that’s working double time to nourish and enrich your milk supply, provide enzymes, antioxidants, and probiotics, and fill your nutritional gaps. It helps with inflammation and soreness while also providing energy. Long story short, NLPP Baked Oatmeal makes you feel good!
Here’s how it's done.
