This vegan ice-cream recipe will send you to sleep…in the best possible way. Here’s the recipe.
When I mention my insomnia problem (read: always), people offer me many solutions, e.g. Melatonin is not helpful, nor are magnesium, ASMR or a sleep robot. Hello, I have already tried that. What am I, a novice?
Rachelle Robinett is a herbalist, founder of Supernatural, and host for Well+Good’s plant-basedvideos. She’s the first to recommend ice cream as a sleep aid. In the latest episode, she says: “To make a sleepy time ice-cream, we will infuse a vegan ice-cream recipe with herbs.” This is a combination of my two favourite things: witchery, and eating inappropriate food in bed. I’m here for it.
Her recipe relies heavily on chamomile. It is known for its ability to induce sleep. She says that chamomile belongs to a group of herbs known as nervines. Rochette says that “nervines” are her go-to remedy for anxiety and stress. She says that chamomile is a mild sleep aid that won’t cause a hangover.
You can watch the video to see what else she recommends adding to your next “nice” cream to make it a tasty bedtime snack. It will also help you through your next luteal period, breakup or apocalyptic cycle. Enjoy the scoop!
Are you into this herbal infusions thing? Robinett makes a stress-busting, adaptogenic veggie dip and a mood-boosting bark. Banana peel tea can help you sleep if that’s what you need.
