A light, nourishing dinner or later evening snack full of sleep-friendly ingredients, ideal a few hours before bed.
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 large handfuls baby spinach or kale
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1/2 cup cooked quinoa or lentils
- 2 tbsp roasted pumpkin seeds
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- A pinch of sea salt and black pepper
- Optional topping: Add grilled salmon or some sardines for an omega-3 boost, and a fuller meal.
Instructions
Gently place spinach, avocado, and quinoa in a bowl.
Add pumpkin seeds for crunch and minerals. Adding crunch in food makes you less into getting those crispy things after dinner.
Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice. Season lightly, not too much spice close to bedtime, but you still want it to be tasty and inviting.
Notes
Eat slowly always and not in front of a screen, and notice how your body feels calm, grounded, and nourished.
