Blueberry Keto Lactation Smoothie
Increase milk supply with this blueberry keto lactation smoothie
Okay Keto mamas, here’s a yummy quick blueberry keto lactation smoothie recipe that has everything you need to increase that milk supply!
What keto foods are in the this smoothie that will help increase supply?
There are many keto foods that are a galactagogue, aka something that can help boost milk supply. Here are a few I included in this recipe:Â
- Flaxseed – flaxseed contains alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) and phytoestrogens that can help with milk supply. (2) Flaxseed is also nutrient-dense and full of omega 3 which also is so great while breastfeeding.
- Brewer’s Yeast – Brewer’s yeast is a superfood. It is packed with protein and is full of nutrients like iron, zinc, vitamin B, magnesium, and potassium. I recommend starting small with this one because it has a strong taste!
- MCT Oil – Many mamas wonder if MCT is safe while breastfeeding. Yes, it is! It’s a great way to boost your healthy fats and milk supply for the day. (3) Make sure to start slowly with MCT oil though, too much could cause digestive issues.Â
- Spinach –Â We all need more greens in our day. Spinach is such a nutrient-dense powerhouse and so great for supply. Spinach is also full of phytoestrogens that may have a positive effect on breast milk production

Do lactation smoothies really work?
Yes, keto lactation smoothies and other lactation recipes do really help with supply, if the recipes contain galactagogues. Every mama is different though on what lactogenic foods work for them.
How Long will it take to for the latation recipes to work?
This varies greatly from mama to mama. Some mamas see an instant increase in supply but others need to wait a couple of days. But, what better way to test it out to see if it work for you than when this yummy smoothie above.
Are protein powders safe to use while breastfeeding?
Yes, protein powders are safe while breastfeeding. However, make sure you are looking for protein powders with clean ingredients. There are so many protein powders that are full of crappy sweeteners and processed ingredients. (Especially, some of the “keto” ones.) So, make sure to check what sweeteners the protein powder has it is sweetened with and also what ingredients are added. Check out my Keto Protein Powder post with all my favorite clean protein powders.

Can I do oat milk instead of almond milk? I have a nut allergy. Thanks in advance!

Jewel SneddenI would suggest swapping with unsweetened coconut milk vs oat milk because of the carb amounts.
