The Postpartum Kitchen Cookbook
Along with the course, you'll also get The Postpartum Kitchen Cookbook.
The cookbook includes over 40 recipes, and two sections: The Replenish Section, and The Refuel Section.
The recipes in the Replenish section are specifically designed for you to be eating 0-10 days postpartum. They are easy-to-digest, bone-broth based, and include very specific postpartum healing ingredients.
The recipes in the Refuel section are designed to be eaten from days 11-30 postpartum. They are still very nutrient-dense and include specific postpartum healing ingredients, but are designed to be consumed when your appetite and digestion return, and to feed to your husband and other children.
Replenish Recipes
Designed for days 0-10 postpartum.
Refuel Recipes
Designed for days 11-30 postpartum.
Hi, I'm Annika!
I help women & moms get back to the way God designed them to eat & live.
As a first time mom & holistic nutritionist, I wanted to stock my freezer full of the most nutrient-dense, healing postpartum recipes, so I can spend my postpartum period navigating all other first time mom things - bonding, breastfeeding, sleeping, etc.
I created The Postpartum Kitchen because I believe there's an incredible lack of understanding of the sacredness and importance of the postpartum period in our modern society.
I wanted to educate women on what a healthy postpartum looks like, while helping them fill their freezer with delicious, healing foods.
Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ 1
Q: Do you tell us how to prep the food or is this just a cookbook?
A: Absolutely! This is a mini-course and cookbook.
You'll be getting access to two modules with 6 lessons each with education on how and why it is so important to care for your body postpartum, and exactly how to prep the food so you're not let feeling overwhelmed & have to batch all your cooking into one week!
FAQ 2
Q: Are the recipes gluten free, or can they be made gluten free?
A: Of course! I made them all gluten free, but they don't have to be.
I've been gluten free for years, so all of the recipes in this course are gluten free as well.
Any recipe that calls for flour can be easily adapted! You can use either regular wheat flour, or a 1:1 gluten free flour (I used Bob's Red Mill in all the recipes with flour).
FAQ 3
Q: Does The Postpartum Kitchen include a lot of protein?
A: Absolutely! Protein is critically important postpartum. BUT…
The recipes in the Replenish section of the cookbook are designed to be consumed within the first 10 days postpartum have a very gentle protein source and are not meat-heavy.
Our digestion is weak immediately postpartum so we have to work back up to eating what we used to eat!
FAQ 4
Q: Are the recipes freezer-friendly?
A: Yes! That's the whole purpose of this course!
All the recipes are specifically designed to be frozen and reheated - except the drinks.
FAQ 5
Q: I don't need this course myself, but can I send this as a gift to someone?
A: Yes, easily!
At checkout, there's a box you can select called “send as a gift”. Then all you need to do is add the recipient's name, email, and a gift message, and you're done!
FAQ 6
Q: What if I’m not a great cook or don’t have a lot of time?
A: Then this course was made for you.
The recipes are intentionally simple. Most can be prepped in under an hour, because most of them are slow cooker recipes!
FAQ 7
Q: Is this a postpartum weight loss/bounce back course?
A: Not at all.
Postpartum, especially in the first 30 days (what this course + cookbook covers) is not a time to restrict, diet, or "get your body back." It's a time to honor your body for the incredible work it has done — growing, birthing, and sustaining life.
This course is about deep nourishment, healing foods, and true replenishment.
When you give your body what it actually needs, it naturally moves toward balance and strength — without the pressure, stress, or unrealistic expectations.
If you take care of your body now, the weight will come off much easier when your body is ready to actually shed the pregnancy pounds.
FAQ 8
Q: Does the course + cookbook have different meals than all your other cookbooks?
A: Yes! They are very different!
Almost all the recipes in the Postpartum Kitchen are completely new and different from any of the recipes in my four previous cookbooks.
There are a few that have a little overlap - the Enchiladas, the Carnitas Burritos, the Egg Drop Soup, and the Chicken Pot Pie are all recipes I've used in my cookbooks before.
However, they have all been adjusted and are not identical to the recipes in the cookbooks, because I've either improved them or added more postpartum healing tweaks to them.
Other than that, the other 43 recipes are completely brand new.
