For new mommies who may need a boost in milk supply BoobieBars are sure to be your new BFF! Not only are they delicious, coming in 3 different flavors including Oatmeal Chocolate Chip, Blueberry Coconut and a Gluten Free Peanut Butter, but they pack a serious herbal and nutritional support punch.
Nutritionally speaking all of the flavors include Moringa
Leaf (aka, Miracle Tree) which is well known for its impressive nutrient
profile, and coconut oil. Moringa leaves are full of protein, vitamin B6,
vitamin C, riboflavin and iron. They are also a great source of quercetin, an
antioxidant known for supporting healthy blood pressure, and chlorogenic acid,
an antioxidant that has been shown to have positive effects on blood sugar
levels. Moringa also has anti-inflammatory properties and it keeps blood
cholesterol levels in check! Yay Moringa Leaf! Coconut oil has a fantastic
fatty acid profile (healthy fats) that includes high levels of Conjugated
Linoleic Acid (CLA), which you can also find in the ‘healthy weight’ section of
your local health food store! (wink wink)
Boobie Bars don’t stop there. The Oatmeal Chocolate Chip and
Blueberry Coconut flavors also contain Brewer’s Yeast which has been used for
promoting healthy breast milk production for a long time. Full of B vitamins to
fight the stress that comes along with new mommy-hood as well keeping your mood
and energy levels balanced, Brewer’s Yeast has a ton of extra benefits aside
from just milk production!
As far as herbs go, these bars have a power trio of
Fenugreek, Shatavari and Turmeric. Fenugreek is a widely popular herb for
increasing milk production, though why it works so well is not entirely
understood. Some researchers suspect that the oils found in fenugreek seeds
play a role. Shatavari is an Ayurvedic (holistic) herb that has been used as a
female rejuvenative tonic and hormone balancer for centuries. Also known as ‘one
who possesses 100 husbands’, Shatavari has long been known as an herb of
longevity. And then there’s our old friend, turmeric. Have you heard of
turmeric’s long list of awesome benefits?! Topping that list is turmeric’s
ability to promote a healthy inflammatory response. Inflammation can show up as
swollen, tender breasts, clogged mammary glands and other nursing discomforts.
By reducing inflammation in the breast tissue, our mammaries can do their job
more efficiently!
All that aside, these little bars are a delicious sweet
treat that can be way more fun that downing a dropper full of funky herbal
elixir! (Not to dis funky herbal elixirs!) Come visit us at EcoBuns or CLICK HERE and grab a
box for yourself or for an expecting friend! We even have samples if you’d like
to try before you buy!
