3 Postpartum Beverages I’ve Been Loving
Gentle, cozy, nourishing drinks I’ve been rotating through while breastfeeding + recovering ✨
These all feel like little rituals instead of just “drinks” and honestly, that matters postpartum.
🥛 1. Ballerina Farm Protein Shake (Milkshake Vibes)
This one feels like a treat but actually keeps me full.
You’ll need:
• 1 scoop Ballerina Farm protein
• Whole milk (or milk of choice)
• Handful of ice
How I make it:
Blend everything until thick and creamy.
It legit tastes like a milkshake and is so easy to sip while holding a baby.
✨ High protein, satisfying, and zero effort.
☕️ 2. Nonna’s Protein Coffee (Italian-Inspired)
This is my cozy, old-world coffee moment it’s warm, creamy, and nourishing.
You’ll need:
• 1 egg yolk
• 1–2 Tbsp sugar
• 2 shots espresso
• 1 tsp good vanilla
• Whole milk, frothed
How I make it:
Whisk the egg yolk + sugar until pale and creamy.
Slowly pour in hot espresso while whisking (so it doesn’t scramble).
Add vanilla, then top with frothed milk.
It’s like a custardy latte… and full of protein + fats for postpartum energy.
🧈 3. Bulletproof Coffee (Deep Energy)
When I need sustained energy without crashing.
You’ll need:
• 1 cup French press coffee
• 1 Tbsp ghee
• 1 Tbsp MCT oil
How I make it:
Blend until frothy and creamy.
It turns into a latte-like texture that keeps me full for hours.
✨ Great for busy mornings with a newborn + toddler.
Postpartum doesn’t have to be cold coffee and forgotten meals.
These little drinks have been such a comforting way to nourish myself 🤍

As a new mom navigating the postpartum period, I found that what I drank was just as important as what I ate when it came to maintaining energy and supporting recovery. The protein-packed Ballerina Farm protein shake quickly became a staple for me. It’s not just a nutritious treat but also incredibly convenient when juggling feeding schedules. Using whole milk adds extra calories and calcium, essential for breastfeeding. Nonna’s Protein Coffee intrigued me because it combines traditional Italian flavors with nourishment. Whisking an egg yolk into sweetened espresso might sound unusual at first, but the creamy custardy texture makes it a comforting ritual that provides healthy fats and protein. I found that this drink helped sustain my energy during long mornings while giving me a warm moment of calm. Bulletproof Coffee has been a game-changer for days when I need lasting fuel without the crash. The blend of ghee and MCT oil in French press coffee creates a smooth, latte-like drink that keeps me feeling satiated and focused. Its creamy texture made the experience feel indulgent, yet it was quick to prepare, which is crucial when I’m managing a newborn and toddler simultaneously. What I appreciate most about these postpartum beverages is how they turned drinking into a mindful, soothing ritual rather than just a quick refreshment. Incorporating them has helped me prioritize self-care during a busy and often overwhelming time. If you’re recovering and breastfeeding, I’d encourage trying these drinks as part of your routine—they offer nurturing support through protein, fats, and a touch of comfort.
