Recently I listened to a podcast by a Sleep Doctor who was discussing the dangers of taking melatonin and that magnesium was way more effective for sleep. He went on to describe the BEST way to get concentrated magnesium..by drinking BANANA TEA!!! Studies have shown that magnesium can be helpful in preventing you from pulling yourself out of sleep, and the potassium and magnesium help your blood vessels and muscles relax. 🍌What you need: One ORGANIC banana (washed), 1 small pot of boiling water, cinnamon, and stevia (optional) 🍌What you do: Wash your organic banana, cut off the top and bottom of the banana, and put it in a pot of boiling water, let it boil for 10 minutes. Add cinnamon and stevia to the boiling water half way through. Pour into a cup and ENJOY!! It seriously tastes like banana bread tea. It’s AMAZING! And the best part..the banana is delicious too! I wouldn’t recommend eating it at night (not good to eat before you sleep) BUT if you let it cool and eat it the next morning, the heat like INTENSIFIES the banana flavor and it’s UH-MAZE-ING!!! Don’t say I didn’t tell you so. GO MAKE THIS TONIGHT!!!
