Today’s episode is brought to you by Chief. We know how challenging it can be to nourish yourself in the depths of sleep deprivation and the busyness of postpartum, and we also know how important it is! Chief’s range of high quality, Australian grass-fed bovine collagens are one of our favourite ingredients to include to increase protein for busy mums – think more stable blood sugars, as well as providing building blocks to support your skin, joints, gut and so much more. We love adding it to smoothies, porridge, pancakes or even mixing it into yoghurt, but it is so versatile and great for the whole family.
