Meal Prep & Delivery

-Ayurvedic Meal Prep & Delivery-

The postpartum body goes through a lot in pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum. In addition to childbirth, there is significant physiological depletion (micro and macronutrient insufficiencies) that occurs in pregnancy, leaving mothers running a deficit even before entering labor. Postpartum depletion results from the maternal body sending the necessary nutrients to the baby in utero even if at the mother’s expense, and continues as we give our babies our life-giving breastmilk.

Nourishment in the days and weeks after pregnancy and childbirth becomes mission critical to no only bring the body back to baseline, but help us h e a l, support our mood, support digestion and optimize our breastmilk. Warmth, healthy fats, protein, mico-nutrients and fiber are the heart of every meal.

Think organic whole vegetables, ghee, well-sourced salmon, fresh and soaked legumes and beans, soaked dates, whole grains, stewed fruits and nuts and seeds. Warm and grounding dishes of soups, stews and kitchari. Snacks of stewed and spiced fruit, soaked nuts and seeds, goji berries and dates. Warming drinks of spiced milk, turmeric and ashwaganda lattes and fresh herbal teas.

You will find warming spices in Ayurvedic dishes such as cardamom, ginger, turmeric and cinnamon. A selection of herbs in the form of teas and tonics nourish us with essential vitamins and minerals, heal common postpartum ailments, optimize milk supply and support emotional well being.
