Don't discard your banana skins, steep them in filtered water over low heat for 10 mins with s cinnamon quill. The skins are super rich in magnesium and potassium, antioxidants and calm your nervous system right down with high amounts of tryptophan. This then makes 'feel good' neurotransmitters as it converts to serotonin. It's great for sleep too. Sweeten if you like with honey, the banana flavour is really subtle. Fantastic for kids (mine have tried and tested and accepted!!) 🍌🍌🍌 #sleepaid #bananatea #banana #tryptophandoods #depression #stress #brainhealth #fruittea #kidshealth #adhd #autism #mentalhealth #soporificfoods # #calmdown #adrenalburnout #naturespharmacy #vegan #paleo #tea A post shared by BioKitchen 🍐 (@biokitchen) on Jan 24, 2017 at 9:43am PST Share This Link Copy ← Use Arrow Keys → 1 Previous Next Start Slideshow InsomniaHealthy LivingSleepBananasAlternative MedicineFruitsTea
