I will definitely try this before bed! I'm a horrible sleeper I'll be good if I get 4hrs of sleep in. I'm a caffeine addict so that doesn't help either. I did try the Spiced almond milk, but in the morning to replace my coffee. It was delicious but of course my body needed its caffeine. But this drink sound amazing before bedtime. Thank you for the recipe!

Mine came out much more purple than green. It looks nothing like yours. Is it a full cup of tart cherry juice?

I really appreciate your article. I have crohn's so I cant eat bananas  or oats, and careful with chamomile. How can I know what to interchange so I can juice the right things for me?
Thanks

I came across this excellent article whilst looking to see if it was advisable to drink a vegetable-based smoothie before going to bed. - clearly it is! As I don't eat anywhere near enough vegetables I decided to invest in a blender. I have usually made a smoothie to drink in the morning before I go to the gym (can't go now because of the blooming virus). Because the days seem long now being stuck in all day, I keep going to bed for an hour or so during the day but consequently have trouble sleeping at night. Just for a change I decided to have my veg and fruit smoothies just before I retired for the night. Bingo! I slept like a log!  My smoothie by the way was very simple as I'm still getting used to using it. It was just cucumber, celery, a few chunks of melon, a pineapple ring (tinned) and topped up with almond milk. Thanks for the article - very interesting.

This was the ticket! Helped me calm down and sleep well; thanks for the great recipe.

I've always loved adding the Spiced Almond Milk to my bedtime routine. With lavender growing in the garden, I can't wait to try this recipe.

Really encouraged by the comments...Looking forward to trying this and sleeping better soon!

Made the smoothie tonight because I couldn't wait to try my new blender that was ready for pickup until 9pm lol!. Soooo glad I tried it. I skipped dinner because I was super busy, at least now I won't go to bed hungry and will get a restful night's sleep!  The smoothie was perfect and delicious! Thank you!!

I usually drink tea or golden milk before bed but I definitely want to give this a try.

I loved the taste!  I woke up as many times during the night, but my sleep was deeper. I didn’t use the spinach as I had already had my greens earlier.

Made the Sleep Well Smoothie using  1 cup of Sleepy Time Tea to make up for not having the cherry juice. I allowed the tea to cool a bit. It was so warm and soothing and satisfying. I will definitely be making this again.
