KEY POINTS

Getting a good night’s rest is tough, but did you know the right foods can help? Patricia Wu, Jessica Reyes, and Jayne Williams are excited to share some yummy snacks that will send you off to dreamland in no time.

Tart Cherry Delight

Forget sugary desserts! Tart cherries are naturally packed with melatonin, the sleep hormone. Try mixing tart cherry concentrate with chia seeds and a dollop of whipped cream for a sweet treat that actually helps you sleep.

Magnesium-Packed Pumpkin Power

Magnesium is a natural relaxant, and pumpkin seeds are full of it. Sprinkle them on salads, soups, or even make a crunchy granola-like bark for a healthy snack anytime.

Cozy Up with Chamomile

Chamomile tea isn’t just for grandma anymore! It’s full of calming flavonoids that can ease you into sleep. Make it extra special by adding a splash of steamed almond milk.

Cottage Cheese Dreams

This protein-packed treat also contains L-tryptophan, an amino acid that helps you feel sleepy. Top it with cinnamon for a sweet touch and an extra sleep boost. Can’t have dairy? Sunflower seeds have got you covered with L-tryptophan too!

The Fundamental 5 Seed Bowl

This isn’t just for breakfast! It’s a fiber-rich, protein-packed bowl that helps your body work its magic while you sleep. Try it as a late-night snack or prep it for the week ahead.

Remember, taking care of your sleep is taking care of yourself. Give these tasty treats a try and let me know how your sleep improves!
