Notes

"This recipe is incredibly flavourful and utilises many ingredients that are beneficial during recovery for postpartum mums. Ginger and turmeric are rich in anti-inflammatory ingredients to help support recovery. Chicken is a form of high quality lean meat that enhances muscle repair. Last but not least, lemongrass promotes lactation in breastfeeding mothers."
