1. Tell us a little bit about yourself…
Im Wendy, the mamma behind @MammasMilkBar, mammasmilkbar.com I have 2 wee babes, a mother, sister, daughter and wife. I started Mammas Milk Bar as a passion project after struggling with low supply and finding healthy, low sugar options to boost my supply, as well as finding clean protein safe for pregnancy and breastfeeding when I had morning sickness! It’s now my calling to help other mums with what I went through.
2. What are your self care rituals? Yoga and a few minutes of closing my eyes, deep breathing and affirmations each day keep me sane
3. During your pregnancy and postpartum, what are some healthy habits that made you feel your best?
Definitely cutting out sugar and keeping my diet varied and colourful. Going for 7000-10000 step walks each day was amazing, it made me feel so good to be able to be consistent in gentle exercise.
4. What does a ‘day on the plate’ look like for you?
7AM: Eggs & Toast and a breakfast smoothie to go – Spinach, Blackcurrants, Almond Milk, and a Banana
10AM: Snack on a handful of pistachios and a cup of Green Tea
