Tart Cherry and Almond Crumble

In honour of World Sleep Day, I’ve created this delicious crumble that’s packed with sleep promoting ingredients and low in sugar, so it makes the perfect option to hit that after dinner sweet craving.

Did you know that tart cherries are one of nature’s only sources of melatonin, the hormone that helps you fall asleep?

Or that almonds are a source of magnesium, a mineral that promotes relaxation?

And if that wasn’t enough, oats are a source of tryptophan, an amino acid that is converted into serotonin, which relaxes the body for sleep! Enjoy…

300g tart cherries – frozen or fresh
80g jumbo oats
120g ground almonds
80ml maple syrup or not too fragrant honey
80ml meted coconut oil
