Easy No-Bake Oatmeal Balls

Great Snack for Breastfeeding Moms (or hungry husbands)

I realized how important it was to fuel your body in a productive way to keep up your milk supply early on. There are certain nutrients, vitamins, etc. you will need to keep up with energy that is used to produce milk. If I did not get enough to eat that was necessary for my milk supply, I would get headaches and feel weak/unmotivated.

I also needed to find something that was easy to make in the limited time that I have now that my husband has returned to work. I try to make a double batch of this once a week because it is so easy to eat and delicious (Bonus points that my husband gets excited when I make them).

There are many benefits to eating well postpartum. Not only did I fail to do this at first, but I also did not know where to start. After taking the time to educate myself, I learned there are key ingredients that can help promote lactation: oats, leafy greens, healthy fats, and more. This recipe helped me get a little natural sweetness balanced with some key nutrients.

Easy No-Bake Oatmeal Balls

Prep: 10 Minutes Total: 35 minutes

Serving: 3

Total Servings: 4

Ingredients:

• 1 cup Rolled Oats

• 1/3 cup Honey

• 1/2 cup Peanut Butter

• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

• 3 tablespoons Chia Seeds

• 2 tablespoons Flax Seeds

• Pinch of Salt

• 1/4 cup Chocolate Chips (optional; I prefer the Lily's Brand)

1. Combine all ingredients in a bowl. I recommend using a spatula and working the ingredients together in the order they are listed. I have found more success with this method.

2. Leave in the fridge for a minimum of 15 minutes, as this will give it time to set and make it easier to roll.

3. Once set, roll the mixture into 1.5" balls and set them in an airtight container in the fridge for storage.

4. Enjoy!
