“I am always looking for ways to improve my sleep naturally. Without fail, tart cherry juice always helps! Tart cherry juice contains tryptophan, serotonin, melatonin, and antioxidants, which helps me fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer. It’s also very refreshing on a warm summer night!” – Shea Mencel, Co-founder & VP of We Are Here, Certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach
Recipe:
4 oz tart cherry juice
1 tsp (or less) honey
Squeeze of lemon
Ice
Optional Add-ins:
1/4 tsp magnesium powder (for added relaxation) I love Moon Juice’s Magnesi-Om
2 oz sparkling water (for a bubbly twist)
2 oz Olipop (prebiotic soda, for gut health and a flavor boost)
Mix base ingredients and stir in any optional add-ins of your choice. If using Olipop, choose a complementary flavor like Cherry Vanilla or Tropical Punch. Enjoy 1-2 hours before bedtime.
Health benefits from this recipe include a melatonin boost from the tart cherries, reduced inflammation from antioxidants, enhanced relaxation from magnesium (if added), and gut health support from probiotic soda (if added).
Cheers to a good night of sleep ahead!
