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

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:
- Make the oatmeal: mix instant oats or instant quinoa with boiling water, stir.
- 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.
- 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!
Vanilla Chai Latte

- 1/2 cup of hot water
