BEDTIME BOWL FOR IMPROVED SLEEP 😴🌙
3 steps
Cook:15min
Dreaming of a good night's rest? Try this delicious bedtime bowl. We've combined powerful ingredients for a better night's sleep in one recipe.
Oats are a natural source of melatonin, a hormone that helps regulates sleep and wake cycles. And not only that, the complex carbs in oats make it easier for your brain to access tryptophan, which can also improve your sleep.
Our homemade pistachio butter is perfect for inducing sleep. Pistachios contain protein, vitamin B6, and magnesium, all of which contribute to better sleep.
Studies have shown eating kiwifruit within 1 hour of bedtime can help improve sleep onset, duration, and efficiency.
Bananas are high in magnesium and tryptophan (a precursor for serotonin).
Chia seeds are rich in tryptophan.
Soy milk is high in protein which can help keep you satiated during sleep.
✨ Bonus tip: TART CHERRY JUICE (Montmorency/sour cherry juice). A clinical trial found that by drinking 2 cups of tart cherry juice per day, sleep duration increased by 84 minutes. Sleep efficiency also improved. It’s also delicious and packed with antioxidants, so it’s well worth giving it a go.
