Why do you need to drink Motherhood Blend?
The toll on a mum’s body whilst growing her baby, then bringing her into this world and then feeding, caring and supporting her is without a doubt completely underrated.
And please do not stop at the ‘full on’ nature of this ‘job’ when the baby finally makes it to 3-4yrs old heads off to kinder or school – often it gets more draining and full on!
Words that come to mind: drained, exhausted, brain fog, fatigue, stressed out, sleep deprived, zapped, ‘the life has been sucked from me’, frustrated, sad at times, all too much, broken….
Eeekkk – all of that sounds just so wonderful doesn’t it?
AH! Apologies; I need to now actually write; how also bloody amazing becoming a mother is and I would not change it for the world. You have all heard that a million and one times I know. But it is true.
However we cannot keep running on the smell of an oily rag.
Time to put ourselves first PLEASE!
YOU NEED TO REPLENISH YOURSELF. Starting today. Don’t compromise the rest of your life by not taking care of yourself. Be smart and start as soon as you can and be consistent. It takes time and effort but it is worth it.
Start rebuilding you.
This is why we developed the Motherhood blend. It is for you because we know you need it. We did and we do. We as a team take it every day because we want to live the best life we can for us and our family.

Motherhood acai bowl:
1-2 scoops (depending on your boost requirements) MH blend
1 frozen banana
1 block of Amazonia acai energy
½ cup of frozen blueberries
½ cup of rice / soy / almond / plant based milk
¼ - ½ cup plant based yoghurt of choice
Topping
Franjo’s Kitchen Tanker Topper date, walnut and maple muesli (perfect if you are feeding and need a milk boost too!)
Kiwi fruit (extra goodness for your digestion)
Simply place all ingredients for the ‘smoothie’ bowl into a blender and blend until nice and smooth. It will be much thicker than a regular ‘smoothie’. Pour into a bowl.
Top with the muesli and sliced kiwi or extra fruit or nuts or seeds of choice.
Other recipe ideas:
We think this blend could lend itself to be a wonderful addition to recipes such as chocolate chia pudding (i.e. add more cacao?), overnight oats, bircher muesli, bliss balls and muesli bars just to name a few.
Thank you for giving us your time, energy and taste buds! We really look forward to seeing what you come up with!
Love,
