THE BETTER SLEEP SMOOTHIE

This Sleep Smoothie packed with a variety of ingredients that promote restful sleep and mental health benefits. Tart cherry juice contains melatonin, a hormone that regulates sleep-wake cycles, and has been shown to improve sleep quality and duration. Almond milk and walnuts are also rich in tryptophan, an amino acid that helps the body produce serotonin, a neurotransmitter that regulates mood and sleep.

Cinnamon and turmeric are anti-inflammatory spices that have been linked to reducing anxiety and depression symptoms. Honey adds a touch of sweetness while also containing antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties.

Collagen powder supports overall health and helps with sleep, as it supports the production of serotonin and regulates cortisol levels, a hormone that can disrupt sleep.

This Sleep Smoothie is a delicious and healthy way to support restful sleep and promote overall mental wellness.
