Breastfeeding Friendly Paleo Smoked Salmon Roll-Ups
Smoked salmon and creamy avocado are a natural pairing, and rolling them up with fresh herbs and crisp cucumber makes for a snack or light meal that feels genuinely special without requiring much effort. The omega-3 fatty acids in smoked salmon are a real win when you're nursing, and the healthy fats from avocado help keep you satisfied between feeds. Fresh dill and chives bring brightness to the filling, while a squeeze of lemon juice keeps everything tasting clean and vibrant. The optional capers add a little briny punch if you're in the mood for extra flavor. These come together quickly with no cooking required, which is exactly the kind of recipe that works when your hands are full and your time is short. They hold up well in the fridge for about an hour, so you can prep a batch during nap time and have something ready to grab whenever hunger hits.
