Bedtime snack anyone? Instead of a sugary treat that will spike your blood sugar before hitting the sheets, MaryRuth’s Cherry Pumpkin SeedZzzs Bites is a one-pan recipe that uses a natural secret ingredient to sweeten it––monk fruit.
Additionally, pumpkin seeds are a known source of tryptophan (the same chemical in turkey!) which is necessary to help make serotonin and support a healthy night’s sleep.
And the cherry on top of eating cherries? They contain melatonin, which studies have shown can help with increased sleep time and overall sleep efficiency. Here’s to a yummy, pre-bedtime snack!
