Restful Sleep Smoothie
This smoothie combines ingredients that work in harmony to support a restful sleep. Tart cherries are a natural source of melatonin, while almonds and bananas provide tryptophan, a melatonin precursor. Hemp seeds, rich in protein and healthy fats, nourish the nervous system and stabilize blood sugar, helping to promote a peaceful night's sleep.
