Peanut Butter and Banana Toast

Whole wheat toast smeared with peanut butter and topped with banana slices.

This breakfast is designed for maximum energy with minimum effort, relying on healthy fats and complex carbohydrates to provide a steady fuel source for exhausted parents. The peanut butter and whole wheat bread offer protein to support tissue healing and milk production. Adding bananas provides a quick dose of potassium for hydration balance, while a sprinkle of chia seeds bumps up the healthy fats—all easily eaten with one hand while managing a newborn.
