Special Message for New mammas
I came across these energy bites when my daughter was gifted them by her neighbor who called them “lactation bites”.
For nursing moms you can add Brewers Yeast. It’s a nutritional supplement that’s been shown to enhance energy levels and boost the immune system, and we could all use a little of that most of the time. I buy mine from Whole Foods, but you can order it online too. I’m a huge fan of brewer’s yeast!
They also satisfy constant hunger of new moms.
