  I also do a smoothie: 

  1 banana

  handful oatmeal (1/4 c.?)

  Greek yogurt or protein powder

  Flax meal (1 tbsp. or so)

  Brewer's yeast (1 tbsp. or so)

  Agave/maple syrup/honey to taste

  Ice cubes

  Add milk (I use coconut-almond) until it's a good smoothie texture. 

  
  

  Sparknotes of helpful tips from the pumping thread:

  You can basically add oatmeal/flax/brewer's yeast to anything to bump up production. I have had great luck with drinking Gatorade during the day along with plenty of water!!! Make sure you're eating enough calories. Breast compressions while pumping. Heat sometimes works. Classical music/guided meditation has been recommended. 

  
  

  Good luck!!

  I find the brewers yeast super bitter .. And have a hard time unless I "hide" it in something

  Is flaxseed the one you have to grind up before eating? Can you buy it preground?

  Yes and yes. It's cheaper if you buy the seeds whole and grind yourself- I use a coffee grinder.

  Regarding brewers yeast- does this need to be refrigerated?

  I use a regular oatmeal cookie recipe and add nutritional yeast and flax meal. I keep my flax in the freezer but my yeast just in the cabinet.

  Plan for tonight. Take my easy chocolate chip pumpkin cookie "recipe" and make lactation cookies out of it. I have no patience for recipes that call for 10 or more ingredients.

  
  

  1/2 can pureed pumpkin (not pie filling)

  1 bag Betty Crocker oatmeal chocolate chip cookie mix

  2T flax

  4T Brewer's yeast

  
  

  I'll let y'all know how it pans out.

  I use this recipe and swap out the chocolate chips for other varieties. My last batch was butterscotch and my next batch will be chocolate chips and toffee bits.
