Gluten-free Lactation Chocolate Chip Banana Bread made with wholesome and healthy ingredients to boost any mama’s milk supply
For all my mama friends, you guys are going to gocrazyover this banana bread.
And for anyone who just loves banana bread, you can still make and enjoy this recipe too – I promise it is for everyone!
It goes without saying that I love sharing banana bread recipes on the blog. We have everything from vegan and paleo ones, to nut free, to cinnamon roll banana breads. Oh and don’t forget the banana bread oatmeal bake. There are oh so many recipes that are created purely based off my love for banana bread.
But today we are merging two things I am passionate about in life: banana bread and breastfeeding.
The best healthy gluten-free lactation BANANA BREAD!
This Gluten-free Lactation Chocolate Chip Banana Bread is made with ingredients to help support a healthy milk supply. I use foods like sprouted rolled oats, which are said to help mama’s supply. Plus they are even filled with fiber! I also add in a product that I am so passionate about – Majka.
You have seen me posting about Majka’s products (specifically their bites) over on Instagram a lot over the past couple of months. I truly am so impressed with the products they create and seeing how much they have helped my supply makes them such a huge part of my daily eats right now. I usually find products like these gimmicky and don’t buy into the whole thing. But I can confidently say, these work for me. I cannot say they will work for every mama but they’re so worth a try you guys!
Majka is derived from the Bosnian translation of mother. The two founders are so passionate about helping mamas have the best breastfeeding journey. They make products to help make this time as easy as possible. Plus you can easily incorporate them into your everyday life.
What makes this protein powder good for lactation?
Today we are talking about their Nourishing Lactation Protein Powder. It has ingredients to provide the nutrition both the mom and child need. And they use ingredients in them that you wouldn’t be getting from many other foods to help support healthy lactation. Their powder doesn’t have any whey proteins, synthetics or artificial anything. It is also non-gmo, dairy and soy-free.
The powder has a mix of their protein blend, lactation blend, greens blend and fruit blend (click here for full ingredients). Items like organic barley, fennel seeds and fenugreek seed. I find it very easy to digest and you can bake with it or even blend it up in a smoothie or just mix it into nut milk.
Hope you guys fall just as in love with Majka as I have and enjoy this new and yummy banana bread. I shared some with Jord and my parents (who obviously aren’t breastfeeding) so no worries about sharing this anyone.
