Kiwi Chia Pudding with Yoghurt
Never serve these for breakfast, but by all means call them your healthy dessert! They will have you nodding off to sleep before the evening is over!
I love getting a new project happening. It creates energy and excitement amongst the team and this project, although very small, was a lot of fun. SO these are designed to help you get a deeper sleep, the best suggestion we have is don't eat them for breakfast, but rather a mid-week dessert to get a good night's rest. Try them and let me know! (Don't under blend, we love smooth textures for dessert here, so longer is better!)
BENEFITS:
Eating 1–2 medium kiwis before bed may help you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer. Kiwis are rich in serotonin and antioxidants, both of which may improve sleep quality when eaten before bed.
Bergamot oil can be useful in preparing your body for sleep, as it slows the heart rate and lowers blood pressure. Unlike many other citrus oils that are said to be energising, bergamot is calming, can reduce stress and anxiety, and possesses sedative qualities.
