I'm a mom of 4 boys, and I breastfed all of them for about 2 years. I spent a total of 8 years of my life breastfeeding, and learning which foods actually increase milk supply, and which foods also help you lose weight! Protein is one of the most important macro nutrients for breastfeeding because it is essential for lactation and your supply.
That's why I ended up creating Milk Dust years ago, because protein powder was the fastest and easiest way for me to increase milk supply, but also hit my protein goals! Pair your Milk Dust shakes with these 11 delicious high-protein bowls, and OMG you'll have the best milk supply, while nourishing your body! These are the bowls that are the best for breastfeeding because they use sweet potatoes for the carb, and I found sweet potatoes to be my favorite carb source for milk supply!
Another trick is to have a Milk Dust shake in the morning, and a protein bowl for lunch! You will be amazed at how starting your day with a Milk Dust protein shake, followed by a nutrient-dense protein ball actually increases your milk supply super fast!
Also, these protein bowls literally stop all the breastfeeding hunger and cravings! I suffered intense breastfeeding cravings and hunger until I had Milk Dust to solve the nutrient deficiencies I had, and I added more protein to my diet overall.
Greek Chicken Quinoa Bowl
Better Home Base has the BEST recipe for you, and I LOVE it! Qunoa is another one of my favorite carbs for breastfeeding because it is so nutrient-dense.
Hawaiian Inspired Chicken Poke Bowl
This is a FABULOUS recipe, and it tastes amazing! Just switch the rice to quinoa or cauliflwer rice to make sure it is more nutrient-dense and not empty carbs.
Healthy Turkey Taco Bowl
Ground turkey is such an easy protein, and you can do a lot with it. This taco bowl is literally the BEST!
Loaded Beef and Sweet Potato Bowl
Southwest Breakfast Bowls (High-Protein!)
Breakfast is something I actually LOVE for lunch or dinner! For some reason I like a savory, higher protein meal later in the day, and a good Milk Dust coffee in the morning!
Loaded Sweet Potato with Beef and Spicy Honey
Sweet Potato Burrito Bowl
Roasted sweet potato and ground beef burrito bowl with pico de gallo, sour cream, and avocado slices. This is a HUGE, nutrient-dense meal and you can sub the ground beef for ground turkey too, if you want it to be leaner.
Buffalo Chicken Protein Bowl:
This is literally SO good! I am obsessed with how nutrient-dense it is, and you can prep a bunch of bowls for the whoel week, so you are set and have your lunch ready to go when that breastfeeding hunger hits hard!
Greek Meatball Bowl:
I make these turkey meat balls for a leaner option, and they are soooo good!!
Veggie Burrito Bowl:
This is a great one to add in a ton of veggies and nutrients! Seriously really important to milk supply, AND it is something you can always add more protein too!
Green Quinoa Breakfast Bowl:
I LOVE how easy this is, and it tastes so good! The eggs and quinoa make you feel so full, but also lots of protein!
These are MY FAVORITE protein bowls for breastfeeding because they fill your body with the nutrients you need, and the protein you need to really support lactation.
