Some of you may have read our earlier blog about recipes to help with lactation, some of you may have not (you can still find it on our site…shameless blog plug). Well more recently we were lucky enough to be sent some cookies to try.
Totally devoted is a New Zealand brand (WIN) of cookies for all different occasions. The four types we were sent were: feeding cookies (for lactating mums), pregnancy cookies (for pregnant ladies…obviously), clever cookies (for sprites), and family cookies (for the whole gang).
They’re low in sugar, high in fibre and have no preservatives! On top of that they are allergy friendly! They are completely dairy and wheat free. They have minimal gluten just oats, no flour. And they contain no actual nuts or egg, though they don’t claim to be free of them because they are manufactured in a bakery that does use these ingredients in other products, and they prefer to err on the side of caution when it comes to allergies. So on top of the allergy friendly stuff they’re also wonderfully honest and you have to love that!
They are full of delicious goodness including magic ingredients for lactating including oats, linseed, and fenugreek. As as milk maker I tried these ones personally. Now I feel like I need to point out here that when it comes to lactation recipes it is very hard to unequivocally state what it is that affects milk supply. Anything from sickness and menstrual cycles to lack of sleep, stress and dehydration can affect your milk supply and with so many variables it is hard to know which action/recipe has actually remedied the issue. But as far as lactation recipes goes these ones are a healthy alternative to so many of the other ones on the market.
The same goes for all the other cookies. I had a couple pregnant friends eating the pregnancy cookies and all thoroughly enjoyed them, and that’s saying something when pregnancy often makes us fussy eaters!
Overall I would definitely say it is a brand worth checking them out:
