Post Babes

Many cultures have a food practice to nourish their women after giving birth.
Certain foods help replenish nutrients and vitamins, others promote lactation and blood flow, and some can even influence hormone balance and energy levels.

Each item in the Post Babes range is intentionally planned out to support different stages of recovery.

Nourishing foods for recovering bodies.

Packed as single serves that you can defrost with your eyes half open and can be consumed with minimal effort.

Broths and tonics always feel so comforting for me and I hope they taste like a warm hug for you too.

Reheating Instructions

All Post Babes meals are fully cooked and frozen so they are ready when you are.

Meals are best enjoyed warm. Eating warm food supports digestion and comfort during recovery, and cold meals are traditionally avoided during this time.

To reheat on the stove, defrost the meal in the fridge overnight or gently in warm water. Transfer to a saucepan and heat slowly over low to medium heat, stirring occasionally, until steaming hot throughout. Avoid boiling vigorously.

To reheat in the microwave, loosen the lid and heat in short intervals, stirring between each round to ensure even heating. Make sure the food is hot all the way through before eating.
