😋 3 Nighttime Snack Swaps! 😋

This might surprise you...but nighttime snacking isn't a dealbreaker.

If you're eating enough during the day and you're STILL craving sweet, salty, fatty snacks at night, here are a few alternatives:

Pizza 👉 Half of a turkey sandwich on sprouted grain bread

The turkey is a better choice because it has less fat and calories, PLUS it contains tryptophan, an amino acid that helps you feel tired.

Ice cream 👉 Greek yogurt

Swap out ice cream’s calories, fat, and sugar for Greek yogurt’s high protein. Tip: top it with berries to add potassium and melatonin, both of which can help you sleep.

Sugary cereal 👉 Oatmeal

Upgrade the empty carbs and low fiber of breakfast cereal with oatmeal, which is warm, soothing, and loaded with fiber — not to mention sleep-boosting melatonin.
