Jun 23, 2018

As a mom, it’s so important to stay fueled throughout the day. Whether you’re busy taking your little one to a play date, going to work, or are out and about running errands, you need snacks that you can take with you on the go that will provide you with the nutrients you need to keep up with your busy schedule.

Here at Majka, we love nothing more than seeing how our community puts our products to use! We were recently inspired by mama and blogger Karsyn DuPree, who created an amazing protein bite recipe using our Majka Nourishing Lactation Protein Powder! When we saw Karsyn’s post on Instagram, we couldn’t help but try it for ourselves and share it with all of you!

 

So, without further ado, here is Karsyn’s super simple, tasty, and nutritious Sweet Potato Protein Bites recipe:

Lactation Sweet Potato Protein Bites Benefits

So what makes these bites the perfect snack for moms? Here are some benefits:

Great Source of 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 they work to 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.

Fiber

Chia seeds are an amazing source of fiber, which can help keep you fuller longer, provide healthy prebiotics, and keep blood sugars stable. In addition to this, chia seeds are an excellent source of Omega-3 fatty acids, which helps raise your “good” cholesterol and protects against heart attack and stroke.

Healthy Fats

The coconut oil and almonds are amazing sources 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!

Lactation Support

All in all, 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. Organic ginger root, turmeric root extract, Shatavari, and other natural ingredients found in Majka’s scientifically formulated lactation blend can increase and nourish your breast milk supply.
