Hardboiled Eggs with a Pinch of Paprika

PostpartumSnackEasyServes 215 min

Batch-boiled eggs peeled and lightly seasoned.

Eggs are a nutritional powerhouse for the postpartum period. They provide complete, highly bioavailable protein to help rebuild maternal tissues and sustain milk supply. The yolks are rich in choline and healthy fats, which pass through the milk to support the baby's rapidly growing brain, making this a perfect, quick snack when energy runs low.
