The Add-ons ( ingredients you can also add)

1 tablespoon flax seeds

1/4 cup almonds

1/2 tablespoon cocoa powder

Instructions

Place the ingredients into your high speed blender and blend for around 30-45 seconds or until your desired consistency is reached.

If you don’t have time to make a smoothie (although it doesn’t take long) you could simply have a glass of warm milk with a little nutmeg and honey, or a handful of cherries or a banana. Whatever will help you achieve sweet dreams.

If you don’t do milk, you can substitute a warm tea such as Chamomile or Valerian, or cherry juice.

* I know cherries maybe hard to get in Ghana,try any of the leading super markets which usually have them fresh, or sometimes frozen.

Enjoy!
