Sleep Soundly Smoothie
Following on from this post of my conversation with the lovely team at Motion Nutrition on my top tips for improving sleep quality comes this recipe for 1 of my favourite ways to encourage someone back into a good & restful sleep cycle.
If you scan through that interview you’ll see I talk about the necessity for balancing blood sugar & stress levels earlier in the day, both through diet & lifestyle alterations, to ensure that 1) You fall asleep & 2) You stay asleep.
For some this takes a little while & adding in a little boost before bed can be a fantastic way to get things headed in the right direction. See below for my perfectly targeted & terrifically tasty way to do this, it is definitely an example of how therapeutic foods can be damn delicious too!
Key Facts
- Super Speedy

Ingredients

- 1/2 teaspoon reishi powder
