The time after having a baby is important. Thriving through postpartum also know as the fourth trimester is just as important as the trimester when you were pregnant. We love this Ginger Lentil Soup as a postpartum meal. Traditionally, soups are great for postpartum recovery. Ginger is known to promote and support healthy production of breast milk. It increases immunity. Ginger also has anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties. Ginger is known for its warming quality that warms energy channels and stops uterine bleeding, reduce inflammation and aid in digestion. Lentils are a rich source of dietary fiber. Lentils are a powerhouse of nutrition. They are a good source of potassium, calcium, zinc, niacin and vitamin K, but are particularly rich in dietary fiber, lean protein, folate and iron.

Simple and easy to make postpartum meal that has great benefits to help for a better postpartum recovery.
