I LOVE a good protein shake especially when you mix in some berries and it is great for our lactation! This Berry Vanilla Lactation Smoothie has been one of my go to’s for a quick calorie booster or afternoon snack during my busy work day. The best part is that it is SUPER easy to make and only consists of FOUR ingredients.

First off, I do have to say that I am in LOVE with my Milk Drunk protein powder. If you plan on making smoothies at all, especially with breastfeeding in mind, I suggest investing in a good protein powder that supports lactation like Milk Drunk by Rawr Naturals. The newest information on protein for breastfeeding moms from the USDA is that lactating women need nearly 20g more protein per day than the average non-breastfeeding woman, based on the Rawr Naturals' website. That's hard to do while caring for a baby and especially once you return back to work (if you do) and are juggling a full time workload!
I've been putting in very full weeks lately in between kids, my day job, the blog, and educating folks around oils, so this momma knows that getting that amount of protein is so very hard! Milk Drunk powders contain at least 17g per serving of vegan protein, making it easy for you to reach that protein goal. Additionally, each serving provides milk-boosting ingredients like oat flour, brewer's yeast and ground flaxseed.
It is such an easy recipe that I could not NOT share it with you all!
- 1 cup Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
- 1 scoop Milk Drunk Vanilla Protein powder
- 1 cup of strawberries, frozen or fresh
- 1 cup of ice
- Place all ingredients into your blender.
- Blend until smooth and all the berries and ice are chopped up.
- Enjoy!
