But don’t think that just because we have made it here that we haven’t shared in our own ups and downs. It’s been a tough road, any breastfeeding mom will tell you the same. Fortunately, I never had supply issues (most moms don’t), but even I have questioned if I’m still producing enough milk. I’ve read various articles about increasing milk production and two of those — oatmeal and flax seed — I love adding as often as I can to many things. Peanut Butter is also a great way to get in healthy fats, protein, and keep you filled for longer (we all know as moms we don’t get to eat very often!). Feel free to sub nut free butters like sunbutter, or use an alternative like almond butter. It will give it a slightly different taste, but still yum!

This delicious Lactation Boosting Peanut Butter Apple Pie Smoothie recipe will have you asking for another right away!

- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup whole milk Sub for dairy free milk if necessary

Ohh.. this looks delicious! And Im not even nursing..lol. Ill have to remember it if we have another baby. 🙂
You definitely don't have to be nursing to drink it! It's one of my fiance's favorites, clearly he's not nursing HAHA
I love apple pie! I never would have thought to make it into a smoothie! Great recipe!
I made this it is delicious, but I found it really grainy and I blended it four ten mins did I do something wrong
Hi Sarah! I'm glad you liked the taste! From our experience using different blenders to make this, it really depends on the power of the blender. I recommend blending the oats first and then the rest of the ingredients! Hope that helps!
Do you cook the oats or put them in straight out of the container?
UNCOOKED!! 🙂 Thanks for asking!
Is it a once a day smoothie?
Hi! We typically drink one lactation smoothie a day, but it really depends on your supply
Is there anything I can substitute the banana with? I can not stand banana anything. I keep finding delicious smoothie recipes but they all have banana ??
Just leave it out! There’s nothing special about the banana
I am allergic to Bananas. Is there something you think would be a good substitute for that?
Thank you.
Just leave it out!
Just made this. The banana I used was pretty ripe so it’s a bit strong but besides that, it is delicious! Thank you for posting this recipe!!
Yay! So happy you like it!
Hey thanks for this recipe, it’s delicious. I used my nutribullet and it worked great. I hope my milk supply increases. Wish me luck!!!
So happy to hear!!!
I may need to make this for my SIL next week when I go visit to help with my new niece. This looks super tasty!
Congrats on the new baby in the family!
