COFFEE HACK

“DON’T DRINK COFFEE”

that’s all we hear throughout pregnancy and breastfeeding. but you actually CAN enjoy coffee while nourishing your baby! (assuming you’re not overdoing it, and that your baby is able to tolerate the metabolites, as most can)

✨make your espresso with coconut water!✨

coffee and caffeine are two different things that can both have a diuretic effect. this process strips your body of the necessary minerals to produce a healthy supply of breastmilk.

coconut water replaces the very minerals that are taken by the coffee.

coffee has most effect when consumed 1-2 hours after waking, after having eaten, and not within 7 hours of going to bed.

my recipe is- a double shot of espresso (i use nespresso pods). 3-4 oz of coconut water. a teaspoon of coconut oil. two teaspoons of brown sugar. a bloop of lactose free, organic half n half😇
