Sleeping Beauty Smoothie
This delicious and decadent smoothie is perfect if you love to exercise in the evening, after work. You love your fitness routine, but don’t always have an appetite for a big dinner afterwards. You want something nourishing, to help replenish your body, but light, so that you can fall asleep.
Enter the Sleeping Beauty Smoothie.
Not only is this new smoothie nourishing with phytonutrients, but it will allow you to get to sleep soon after.
Not an evening fitness buff? It makes a great dessert, too.
Tart cherries contain melatonin, known to help you fall asleep gently. Yogurt contains calcium, which helps the brain use the tryptophan found in dairy to create sleep-inducing melatonin. Kale also contains calcium, and honey raises your insulin slightly and allows tryptophan to enter the brain more readily.
