This healthy smoothie contains pumpkin seeds which are very high in L-tryptophan as well as cherries which are one of the highest natural sources of natural melatonin. Dark chocolate contains natural seratonin to help you relax. Cherries also have a natural sweetness and a low glycemic index which helps keep blood sugar intact with the protein powder. Something too sweet before bed can cause you to wake up in the middle of the night due to low blood sugar caused by insulin rebound from the sugar. To make sure you sleep well only use the sweetness of the cherries for this smoothie.

Blueberries are rich in antioxidants and especially rich in anthocyanins. In fact anthocyanins may be helpful for people with cataracts and help to slow cataract progression. We use almonds as they are high in vitamin E. The spinach is another ingredient that helps you with eye help. One ounce of almonds has 1/3 of the daily requirements of natural vitamin E.

Finally we add a little bit of carrot to add some beta-carotene to help night vision.
