Brazil Maca Berry Muffins3

We’re talking all things sleep this week. How can we sleep better so we can function better, have more AMAZING days, smile bigger and just feel sensational! Sounds good, right?!

Getting good sleep is so super important for our overall health and happiness. It’s crazy how different you can feel when you have a late night or when your sleep is a restless one. We try and get 8 hours sleep every night and we implement sleep hacks to make sure that the sleep we get is bloody good! (we’ll share these tomorrow!)

Brazil Maca Berry Muffins2

During our sleep hacking research we found that there are some foods that can actually help us sleep better! We LOVE this. Eating our way to better sleep!

These Brazil Maca Berry Muffins are the perfect sleepy treat to assist in a better bed + you relationship.

Maca

We LOVE maca, the taste and the benefits! Maca is crazy cool, it’s an adaptogen: a substance found in plants and herbs that helps our body to adapt to stress and change! Cool, yes?! It’s got a heap of amino acids, good fats,  B vitamins, vitamin C and E, as well as minerals like magnesium, iron, calcium, phosphorous, potassium, sulphur and sodium.

Woha! And YES! Maca helps us sleep and can even aids insomnia! True story. It also increases our brain function, decreases stress, balances our hormones, increases our energy levels and our metabolism! Seriously, making our Brazil Maca Berry Muffins is a GREAT idea.

Brazil Nuts and Berries

Brazil nuts and berries are full of selenium! And you guessed it… selenium helps us sleep! Hooray! Berries highest in selenium are gooseberries, blackberries and strawberries, so we used mixed berries in our Brazil Maca Berry Muffins!

So you’ve got your maca and selenium hit for a good night sleep. Read more about sleep hacking here. PLUS we think that one of our Brazil Maca Berry Muffins would go perfectly with a cup of calming tea! Think chamomile, lavender, cinnamon, lemon balm or liquorice. Yum! Tea and muffins = best sleep ever!

Always merrymaking,
