I’ve adapted this stewed fruits recipe from Touching Heaven, a postpartum cookbook created by the school’s founder, Ysha Oakes. I’m grateful to my teachers at Sacred Window Studies for sharing the wisdom of Ayurveda and many delicious recipes to support postpartum mothers. Stewed Fruits are also an excellent source of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and iron, vital nutrients she will need to replenish her body after delivery. In my meal plan, Stewed Fruits are the star of the show! Why? Because they taste amazing and are a natural way to keep a mama’s bowels soft and regular.

Consumed warm, Stewed Fruits are part of my daily postpartum protocol for nourishing postpartum mothers. Stewed Fruits will help keep your digestive system functioning smoothly so you can have easy and smooth poops. Grab your FREE Post-Birth Recovery Meal Plan EBOOK here!

Providing a nourishing post-birth meal that is suitable for postpartum mother’s delicate digestion takes know-how, planning and preparation. I’m an Ayurvedic Postpartum Caregiver and Chef and I’ve created the perfect post-birth recovery meal plan for my clients. I would like to propose an alternative to pharmaceutical solutions, one that has been around for thousands of years: Care providers will routinely prescribe a stool softener (most commonly Colace) to prevent or remedy this issue. While there are various factors that contribute to postpartum constipation, the main culprit, in my opinion, is the hospital food given to mothers immediately after birth. Many pregnant and postpartum mothers struggle with this issue.
