023: Nourishing Plant-Based Recipes for Postpartum Recovery with Chef Eduardo Justo
Are you looking for delicious, plant-based recipes that can help you recover postpartum?
In this episode, I’m joined by Chef Eduardo Justo. Eduardo brings a wealth of experience, having worked in some of the best restaurants in the world and now specializing in vegan and plant-based cuisine. Eduardo shares his journey, cooking philosophy, and two amazing recipes designed specifically for postpartum moms.
Eduardo shares the benefits of plant-based eating for recovery, as well as two nutritious recipes he created that are not only delicious but also supportive of postpartum recovery and nursing mothers. Using ingredients known as galactagogues—foods that help increase breast milk supply—he highlights the importance of these foods, emphasizing how they can aid in both recovery and milk production.
Our first recipe is a Lentil Fenugreek Stew, perfect for the fall season or any time you need a hearty, nourishing meal. The second recipe is a vibrant and nutritious Creamy Chickpea Beet Soup, packed with protein and vitamins.
Both recipes are designed to be simple and quick to prepare, making them ideal for busy postpartum moms. Remember, you can easily add your preferred protein like chicken, fish, or tofu to these dishes to suit your dietary needs. These recipes can also be made in large batches and frozen for later consumption.
Eduardo’s passion for plant-based cooking and his understanding of postpartum nutrition make these recipes a wonderful addition to any new mom’s meal rotation.
