Introduction

Almonds and bananas are both very high in B vitamins, magnesium and potassium, all which relax the body and promote a good night's sleep. This is also a good "protein-carb" bedtime snack for diabetics or dieters to prevent the blood sugar crash in the morning.

Ingredients

    1 large, ripe banana
    3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
    1/2 tsp cinnamon
    1/4 tsp ground ginger
    *optional: 1 tsp ground flaxseed

Directions

Combine all the ingredients in a blender and puree until smooth. Add a bit of extra almond milk or water if necessary to achieve the consistency you like.
I like this served cold (sometimes I even pop the peeled banana in the freezer for an hour) but it's fine room temperature too.
