When my baby was a newborn, I was hungry all. the. time. I needed to eat something after every pumping session.

If there’s one thing that exclusive pumpers are short on, it’s time. I was pumping and feeding every three hours and trying to get a million things done in between – get the baby to sleep, wash my pump parts, prep bottles, do laundry, take a nap myself. The thing that was lowest on my priority list was sitting down to make and eat a healthy snack.

So I just shoved whatever was available in my mouth. Usually, that was a package or Oreos or something else that was quick and filling, but not very healthy.

This lactation granola recipe is a great solution to this problem! You can make a big batch of it on the weekend or whenever you do have some extra time, and then you have a quick, easy, healthy snack that you can it all week, and it can help boost your milk supply.

After you make this, you can store it in an airtight container. Then, you can eat it plain, with milk, with yogurt, or however you like to eat granola! (And when you’re starving, it will fill you up and do more for your milk supply than a handful of Oreos!)

Enjoy!
