Insomnia

A menu to help you fight insomnia by promoting muscle relaxation using plants and micronutrients with potent myorelaxant properties. 

Recommended Tea: Basil Tea – boil 10-12 basil leaves in 200mL of water for at least 3 minutes. Drink 3-5 times throughout the day. 

Basil has antispasmodic, lenitive, myorelaxant, and de-bloating properties.

BREAKFAST

Sweet Omelette

  • 2 eggs
  • 2-3 tbsp unsweetened almond milk 
  • 1 cup frozen blueberries
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Omelette: Whisk together eggs, milk and cinnamon. Heat 1 tsp of olive oil into a skillet and pour in the egg mixture. Cook until almost set. 

Berry Sauce: place frozen blueberries in a small saucepan and add ¼ cup of water. Cook on a low heat until warm and stir occasionally. Once the omelette is cooked, place the berry sauce inside. 

 

Toppings:

LUNCH

Cod Burgers & Cleanse

(Recommended serving size: 2 burgers)

  • 150g cod, pan-seared in evo oil
  • 100g peas
  • ¼ onion, stir-fried
  • 1 egg
  • Chickpea flour
  • 2 tsp oregano
  • Salt & pepper

Blend all the ingredients (except for the flour) until well combined. Form the burgers using your hands, simultaneously adding the flour to coat the burgers thoroughly. Heat some olive oil into a skillet and cook each burger for about 5-7 minutes per side. You’ll get about four burgers, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

What to drink: a cup of loose-leaf green tea, matcha or Americano/espresso, herbal tea, or chicory coffee (Suggested time: 15-20 minutes after breakfast)

 

*If you’re sensitive to caffeine and think it may be bothering your sleep, I recommend avoiding caffeine-containing beverages (green tea, coffee) or limiting the intake to only a cup of loose-leaf green tea in the morning.
