#10: Boost milk supply- Lactation Cookies
Mama Goodness Almond Cacao Cookies are organic, plant-powered and built on the nutritious energy of oats, almonds and cacao nibs. With the addition of omega-rich hemp, chia and flax seeds, and the natural sweetness of coconut sugar, they make the perfect snack for people of all ages and stages in life.
The only lactation cookie brand to use oat flour as the primary ingredient in our cookies. As well as being a rich galactagogue, oats provide essential nutrients for postpartum energy production including iron, magnesium, zinc and B vitamins. Add a healthy dose of fibre and prebiotics to support digestion, and if that’s not an excuse to eat three cookies at a time, we don’t know what is!
