Fruits and nuts in a blender

Breastfeeding hunger hits differently—sometimes even more intense than pregnancy cravings. Sleep deprivation and exhaustion can disrupt hormones like leptin and ghrelin, making cravings harder to manage.

To stay nourished and energized, I turned to this list of healthy, convenient snack ideas. Prioritize strength and wellness over weight loss—you’re setting the example for your little one.

Quick Keto and Co Dry Riced Cauliflower

Although not on keto, I find Keto and Co‘s dry riced cauliflower versatile. Here’s how I prepare it in minutes: cook the entire package, then add liquid aminos, coconut aminos, or Himalayan salt for flavor. Enjoy with plant-based yogurt like Kite Hill or Forager. Or consider making your own at home!

Chosen Foods Oil Spray and Artisana Cashew Butter

When it comes to healthy cooking, Chosen Foods Oil Spray is a game-changer, especially for air frying or stir-frying. As an advocate for health-conscious choices, this brand is my top pick due to its exceptional quality and health benefits.

Now, let’s talk about Artisana Cashew Butter. This particular brand has won me over with its pure, 100% organic cashews, free from added oil, sugar, or salt. Creamy, delicious, and a favorite of not just mine but also my little one’s, it’s a staple in our pantry.

For those seeking top-quality, health-focused products, these two choices come highly recommended.
