Nutritious Postpartum Snack

Y'all should know I'm VERY passionate about snacks. All kinds of snacks for all occasions. Snacks for every reason or no reason at all. Road trip snacks. Office snack drawers. Morning snacks. Nighttime snacks. Pregnancy snacks. Postpartum snacks. I mean really.

I just.

Love.

Snacks.

One of my favorites takes 5 minutes to make and has 5 ingredients. These are easy, convenient and GREAT for postpartum. You're going to need food around that you don't need to think about or spend a lot of time preparing. So make these. You can't go wrong. BETTER YET have someone else make these for you and stick them in your fridge!

Get out a bowl and spoon.

Mix together:

• Oats (Fiber = great for postpartum poo's)

• Peanut Butter (Protein and fat)

• Chia Seeds (Omega's and more fiber...because)

• Chocolate Chips (I shouldn't have to explain this one, add as many as you want)

• Honey (Anti-inflammatory properties and antioxidants)

Stick the whole thing in the fridge for a bit (bowl and all). Anywhere from 10 minutes to 4 hours to a whole day (if you forget about them) is totally fine. Fridging it just makes it easier to roll them up into balls when all is said and done.

That's it. That's the recipe. I don't measure anything when I make food so play around with the ratio you like. It's real hard to mess these up.

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator and grab one (or FIVE) whenever you need a quick protein/fiber boost.

Give it a whirl. You can thank me later.

Peace to ya,
