*If you are lactating add 1 tsp of brewers yeast for extra milk-producing power! Oats & ground flaxseed also help lactating moms!
**If you are a weightlifter/powerlifting and are looking to refuel your workouts, add a scoop of chocolate protein powder to these bites!
A friend made me lactation balls after I had my son and I absolutely fell in love! I added a few more ingredients to give extra nutrients and vanilla extract for flavoring. These are perfect if you can’t make it in between meals (so you don’t binge on sugary junk!) or need extra calories after a good workout. Enjoy!
