With the weather getting colder, we’re changing our diet from “Pitta”, fire based diet of smoothies and raw fruits, to a “Vata”, cooler time of year. This means warming and grounding foods, with a little more spice and flavor to keep you toasty as it gets colder! (Yes, hello Chai & Pumpkin Spice).

Especially for new Moms in the changing seasons, it can be easy to forget about keeping your health and wellness in check. Which is why I decided to write this article: to specifically give Moms some easy, delicious recipes that BONUS, will help you produce more breast milk.

The first most delicious fall recipe, is

PUMPKIN PIE OVERNIGHT OATS

Ingredients:

• One scoop Lactation Protein Powder
• ⅓ cup rolled oats
• ⅓ cup almond milk
• 1 tbsp chia seeds
• 1 tbsp sliced almonds
• A sprinkle of cinnamon

Directions:

1. Add all ingredients except cinnamon to a mason jar or tupperware, seal and shake to combine.
2. Let sit in the fridge overnight.
3. Sprinkle with cinnamon and enjoy!

Pro-Tip:

Apple Crisp Breakfast Bowl

Ingredients:

• ⅓ cup instant rolled oats or quinoa
• ⅓ cup boiling water + 2 tablespoons for apple prep
• 2 tablespoon unsalted grass-fed butter (or virgin coconut oil)
• ½ cup diced apple
• A pinch of salt
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon chopped walnuts

Directions:

1. Make the oatmeal: mix instant oats or instant quinoa with boiling water, stir.
2. Make the apples: Melt the 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the apples and season with a small pinch of salt; toss to coat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples are lightly browned and tender, 5-7 minutes. Add the cinnamon, maple syrup and water. Bring to a boil and cook until the liquid has thickened, 30-60 seconds.
3. Build the bowls: Spoon the warm grains into bowls. Top each with caramelized apples and sprinkle with walnuts. Optional: drizzle with maple syrup.

Pro-Tip:

• No time to saute apples? You can meal prep them in advance and microwave, or try mixing apples, butter, and cinnamon in the microwave (covered) stirring every 10 seconds in a pinch!
