A super quick and easy snack to curb the late night post dinner sweet tooth munchies. Using bananas as the base for this dessert is essential for a good night’s rest due to it’s nutrient profile: magnesium-rich to help calm the nervous system and reduce stress and tryptophan-rich to help convert serotonin (feel good hormone) and melatonin (sleep hormone) in the body. Try to consume a banana that is on the greener side instead of yellow as the less ripe banana (green) is lower on the glycemic index and will not raise your blood sugar as much leading to better sleep quality.
