Sleep Well Yoghurt Bowl
The urge for a little sweet treat after dinner is very common, so opting for something that can satisfy that sweet spot yet still promote rest and relaxation is a winner in my eyes. This yoghurt pot is easy to assemble and includes some incredible rest-promoting ingredients packed with magnesium, calcium, antioxidants, melatonin, and amino acids, like tryptophan (which helps to make melatonin and serotonin that regulate our sleep-wake cycle, sleep quality, mood, appetite etc). So next time you reach for a cookie or milk chocolate, give this a go instead. I always recommend having it straight after dinner to give your gut time to digest before bed.
Servings: 1 Time: 5 minutes
Ingredients
1 tbsp frozen cherries

2 tbsp full fat Greek yoghurt
½ kiwi, sliced (skin on if you can for extra nutrients)

Drizzle raw honey
Method
- Gently heat the frozen cherries with a splash of water until they soften & form a compote.
- Meanwhile, prepare all the other ingredients for assembling.
- In a small bowl, add the Greek yoghurt, then top with the sliced kiwi, warm cherry compote, almond butter and sprinkle over the pumpkin seeds, cacao nibs and cinnamon powder.
- Finally drizzle a little raw honey.
