Blended for Postpartum
Eating highly nutrient dense foods will provide critical postpartum support and plays a key role in keeping your mental and physical health strong. We know you're in a world where self-care should come first, but the reality is it likely does not. We’re here to help ease the mental load of worrying about whether you’re getting the calories and nutrition needed to support your postpartum journey.
Benefits of keeping yourself nourished with the right foods include:
- birth recovery & healing
- keeping energy levels up
- hormone & emotional balancing
- mental stamina
- preventing anemia/low iron levels
- milk production support
- essential nutrients for your baby (if breastfeeding)
Our Blended Postpartum combo focuses on the key nutrients recommended for postpartum nutrition, milk production and overall mental & physical health support. The mix of blends provides a good balance of macronutrients (carbs, protein, healthy fats) and micronutrients (essential vitamins & minerals). They’re all high in plant-based protein; our protein powder booster is from gluten-free grains like brown rice, amaranth & quinoa (there is no pea protein or soy protein in the blends).
We’ve also made it easy to shop the individual blends if you prefer to create your own combination.
See more below the products for the ‘why’ behind the blends chosen and a link to more info on foods that support postpartum health.

* Magnesium is essential for the synthesis of DNA and RNA, the production of energy in cells, nerve conduction, muscle relaxation and electrolyte balance. For this reason, many doctors recommend that women take a magnesium supplement after giving birth to help their bodies recuperate properly, support the body’s demands and maintain proper fluid balance.
