Consuming snacks like our Cranberry Oat Slices can provide numerous health benefits for postpartum mothers. Oats, the main ingredient in the cranberry oat slices, are high in soluble fibre beta-glucan which has various health benefits. Beta-glucan can help reduce cholesterol and blood sugar levels, promote healthy gut bacteria, and increase feelings of fullness. Snacks in general can help maintain adequate nutrition for postpartum mothers who may have a poor appetite but are unable to eat full meals due to an illness. Snacks should be in the 200 to 300 calorie range for an energy boost between meals.
