One of the most valuable things you can do before your baby arrives is to prepare nourishing, ready-to-eat foods. In those early weeks postpartum, when sleep is scarce and your body is recovering, having wholesome meals and snacks within reach can make a world of difference. Meal prepping before birth isn’t just about convenience—it’s about caring for your future self. When you’re in the trenches, every bit of nourishment helps you heal, sustain your energy, and support your milk supply if you’re breastfeeding.
Smoothie melts are one of our favorite postpartum prep staples. They’re quick to make, nutrient-dense, and easy to customize. You can blend them up in minutes, pour into molds, and have a freezer full of ready-to-go smoothies for those busy or foggy days.
