The recipe:

Add: 1 avocado + 2 tbsp coconut oil + 4 tbsp maple syrup. Mix wet and dry ingredients together, then roll into balls. (If the mixture seems too dry, add a little extra coconut oil.)

Keep made-up balls in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.

Step 1 — Prep: Measure your wet ingredients — 1 ripe avocado, 2 tbsp coconut oil, and 4 tbsp maple syrup.

Step 2 — Mix: Combine the premix with your wet ingredients and stir until fully combined. If the mixture is too dry, add a little extra coconut oil one teaspoon at a time.

Step 3 — Roll & refrigerate: Roll into 20 balls and place in an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before eating. Keep made-up balls in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.

Tip: Make a double batch and freeze half — they defrost quickly and are perfect to have on hand in the early postpartum weeks when cooking is the last thing on your mind.

When to start: Suitable from around 36 weeks pregnant as a nourishing batch-prep snack, or any time during breastfeeding.

I'm worried I'm not making enough milk. Will these bliss balls help?

Nourish Mama Lactation Bliss Balls Premix is made with oats and linseed, reputed galactagogues traditionally used by breastfeeding mothers. They're a nourishing snack, not a medicine. Feeding often, eating regularly and drinking enough all matter too. If you're worried about your supply or your baby's weight, talk to your child health nurse, GP or a lactation consultant (IBCLC).

I don't have time to eat between feeds. Will these actually help me?

Yes. Make one batch and you have about 20 snacks waiting in the fridge. Grab one or two while the baby feeds, no plate needed. Nourish Mama Lactation Bliss Balls Premix takes under 10 minutes to make, with no oven and no mess.

I'm ravenous at the 3am feed. What can I keep ready?

Keep a container of made-up bliss balls in the fridge, or a few defrosting overnight. Eat one with one hand in the dark. Keep made-up balls in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. You're not alone in feeling starving at night, and having food ready makes it easier.

I want a lactation snack that tastes good, not like cardboard. Do these?

Yes. Raw cacao gives Nourish Mama Lactation Bliss Balls Premix a rich chocolate flavour, and the maple syrup you add sweetens it. The avocado and coconut oil make the mix soft and rich. Roll them in shredded coconut or cacao powder for extra texture. They're good enough to share with the family.

Who are the Lactation Bliss Balls for?

Nourish Mama Lactation Bliss Balls Premix is made for breastfeeding mums who want a quick snack ready between feeds. It suits mums who want a lactation cookie alternative with no baking, and mums avoiding dairy, nuts or eggs. It isn't suitable for coeliac disease or oat intolerance, because it contains oats.

When can I start eating them?

Any time while you're breastfeeding. Many mums make a batch from around 36 weeks pregnant and freeze it, so snacks are ready for the fourth trimester. If you have questions about any food in pregnancy, talk to your midwife or GP.

What do they taste like?

Like a chocolate bliss ball. Raw cacao gives the chocolate flavour, oats and linseed add a wholesome texture, and maple syrup brings the sweetness. You control the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup. Nourish Mama Lactation Bliss Balls Premix is popular with the whole household.

Are they suitable for my dietary needs?

Nourish Mama Lactation Bliss Balls Premix is made without dairy, nuts, eggs or soy, and it's vegan. Contains gluten (from oats), so it isn't suitable for coeliac disease or oat intolerance. The ingredients you add at home, avocado, coconut oil and maple syrup, are also naturally free from common allergens.

How do I make them?

Mix the premix with 1 ripe avocado, 2 tbsp coconut oil and 4 tbsp maple syrup until combined. If the mix is too dry, add coconut oil a teaspoon at a time. Roll into 20 balls, place in an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before eating.

When should I eat them?

Whenever you need a snack between meals. During a feed, mid-morning, mid-afternoon or at the night feeds. Enjoy them alongside regular meals, not in place of them. Nourish Mama Lactation Bliss Balls Premix is made to keep a nourishing snack within reach.

Can I change the recipe?

Yes. Adjust the sweetness with more or less maple syrup, or swap the coconut oil for another liquid fat. Roll the balls in shredded coconut or cacao powder for texture. If the mix feels dry, add coconut oil a teaspoon at a time until it comes together.

What are the ingredients?

Oatmeal, linseed meal, sunflower meal, raw cacao and millet flour. The linseed, sunflower, cacao and millet are organic. Nourish Mama Lactation Bliss Balls Premix is packed in Australia from Australian and imported ingredients. Raw cacao contains a small amount of natural caffeine. You add avocado, coconut oil and maple syrup at home.

What allergens does it contain?

Contains: gluten (from oats). Nourish Mama Lactation Bliss Balls Premix is made without dairy, nuts, eggs or soy, and it's free from artificial flavours, fillers, preservatives and refined sugar. It isn't suitable for coeliac disease or oat intolerance. If you have a food allergy, read the full ingredient list before use.

Can I eat them in pregnancy, or if I take medication?

Many mums make a batch late in pregnancy, from around 36 weeks, to freeze for after the birth. If you have questions about any food in pregnancy, talk to your midwife or GP. If you take medication or have a health condition, check with your GP or pharmacist first.

How are they different from Nourish Mama Lactation Cookies?

Nourish Mama Lactation Cookies are baked and ready to eat from the pack. The Lactation Bliss Balls Premix is a no-bake mix you finish at home with fresh avocado, coconut oil and maple syrup. Both use oats. Choose the bliss balls if you like a soft, chocolatey snack you make yourself.

Why not make bliss balls from scratch?

You could. You'd buy oatmeal, linseed meal, sunflower meal, raw cacao and millet flour separately, then measure them. Nourish Mama Lactation Bliss Balls Premix has the dry ingredients measured in one 275g pack. Add three fresh ingredients and you're done in under 10 minutes.

How is it different from store-bought bliss balls or other brands' lactation snacks?

Many store-bought bliss balls are built on nuts and dates. These are made without nuts, using oats, linseed and millet, with fresh avocado you add yourself. Nourish Mama Lactation Bliss Balls Premix was created by Kelly Northey, a Certified Postpartum Nutrition Professional, with five dry ingredients.

How many packs should I buy?

One 275g pack makes about 20 bliss balls. Keep made-up balls in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. Many mums make a double batch and freeze half, so there's always a snack ready in the early weeks. Two packs of Nourish Mama Lactation Bliss Balls Premix make a good start.

Is it a good gift for a new mum?

Yes. It's practical, quick to make and delicious enough for the whole household. Pair Nourish Mama Lactation Bliss Balls Premix with Nourish Mama Choc Chip Lactation Cookies or a Lactation Hot Chocolate for a fuller postpartum gift. Check she doesn't have coeliac disease or an oat intolerance.

How do I store the bliss balls, and how fast is shipping?

Store made-up balls in an airtight container. Keep made-up balls in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. Freeze them in a single layer, then move them to a container. They defrost quickly at room temperature or overnight in the fridge. Most orders are dispatched within 1 to 2 business days. Shipping is free in Australia over $99.

*If you are concerned about your breast milk supply or your baby’s health, always seek help from a health care provider. Lactation consultants, breastfeeding counsellors, specialist nurses like child health nurses or doctors can also help with any breastfeeding questions or concerns you may have. The Australian Breastfeeding Association is also a great resource for information and support.
