ayurvedic postpartum bars

These bars were created out of my love for snacking! Having snacks on hand during the day that provide essential nutrients are a key factor in this recipe. During postpartum, I recommend eating these bars in the second or third week.

1 c shredded coconut

1/4 c almonds

1/4 c walnuts
