🌱 Why is it nourishing?
Skinless chicken breast provides quality protein with a low fat content and can support tissue repair and daytime energy during the postpartum and breastfeeding period. Colourful vegetables such as carrot, courgette and pepper add variety in fibre, vitamins and minerals. Baking rather than frying lets you use less oil and keeps the meal light. During breastfeeding the goal is not to restrict but to eat in a balanced and sufficient way; this satisfying yet not heavy meal can be a practical option.
