Berry Good Sleep Smoothie - Real Recipes from Mums

It’s been a tough year, so you wouldn’t be the only one who can’t wait to blow off steam this festive season, however, Happy Healthy You naturopath Sally James is encouraging men and women to try not to let their sleep patterns go awry.

Certain foods can help or hinder a person’s ability to fall asleep, with Sally noting that different foods can have different effects so it’s important to become aware of what works for your body.

“We find foods rich in melatonin, serotonin and magnesium contribute to a restful sleep. These can be found in cherries – which are in season in Spring and Summer and seen as a Christmas fruit,” Sally said.

“Happy Healthy You’s Berry Good Sleep Smoothie can also be good dessert substitute in the evening. Ingredients include kale or spinach, oat milk, cherries, kiwi fruit, banana and our nourishing Happy Weight Berry formula.”

Ingredients (serves 1)

1/2 cup Fresh kale or baby spinach
1 cup Organic oat milk
1 cup Cherries, pitted (fresh or frozen)
1 Kiwi
1/2 pc Banana
1.5 tbsp Happy Healthy You's Happy Weight Berry

Method

Place all ingredients into a blender
Blend well until smooth
Pour into a glass and enjoy

Smoothies are always a quick & easy breakfast or lunch and it’s great to have suggestions that cary a little so we don’t get boring. Looks delicious.

Wow this Berry Good Smoothie looks healthy and delicious. I would definitely use the baby spinach not the kale. Easy to make especially when your trying to be a healthy Mum if 3 children and don’t have much time to care for yourself.

sounds great, I have just weighed myself for the start of the year and have now set myself a weight loss goal – I know sleep plays a bit part in this so lots of work ahead of me. This drink though will definitely be added to my weight loss regime
