Restful Sleep Smoothie

16 ounces

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.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups homemade almond milk
  • 1 cup frozen tart cherries
  • ½ frozen banana
  • 1 tablespoon hemp seeds
  • ½ tablespoon maple syrup (or to taste)
  • Zest from 1 lemon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

  1. Using the Nama C2 Cold Press Juicer and Blender, add all ingredients to the blender.

  2. Blend until smooth and creamy.

  3. Divide the smoothie between 2 glasses and serve.

Note

For additional sleep support, consider adding ½ to 1 teaspoon of Ashwagandha powder.; Tart cherries are also known as sour cherries.
