As a postpartum dietitian, this is my favorite quick lunch to support breastfeeding when you’re short on time.
This sweet potato and cottage cheese recipe is packed with protein, fiber, and healthy fats. Everything you need to stay full longer, keep your blood sugar balanced, and work toward your weight loss goals after pregnancy.
