MILKFUL bars are loaded with natural ingredients that not only create a healthy/convenient/well balanced snack, they can help BOOST milk supply. No hidden sugars here...unlike other lactation cookies/bars on the market, we worked hard to keep our sugar content LOW. Each MILKFUL bar is naturally balanced with between 4-5 grams of fiber, and 5-6 grams protein- which equates to sustained blood sugar levels to power you through your day! MILKFUL bars are also high in healthy fats (omega 3 fatty acids) which passes from mommy to baby through breast milk. And best of all, they are loaded with vitamins and minerals – such as Magnesium, Chromium, and B vitamins which your body uses to produce milk.
