4 Nourishing Bedtime Snack Ideas

Sep 29, 2023 · 1 Comment

Having a healthy bedtime snack can be extremely beneficial for your health. Here are 4 simple, satisfying, and nutritious bedtime snack ideas! 

I don’t know about you, but bedtime snack is very, very important to me. I hate going to bed hungry! 

I also want to make sure I’m getting in all the nutrients my body needs to function at its best throughout the night. 

Let’s get into it:

Milk, Banana, Collagen, Cocoa powder, and salt

Chocolate Banana Shake

When I first made this, I had it every single night for weeks on end. It’s such a satisfying, rich, healthy snack! 

 Ingredients:

1 Ripe Banana     

1 Cup Raw Milk   

1 Scoop Collagen 

1 Tbsp. Cocoa Powder 

Optional: Pinch of salt

Mashed sweet potatoes with grass-fed butter and raw cheddar

Sweet Potato with Butter + Raw Cheddar

Now this one might sound a little odd at first, but let me tell you, nothing hits the spot at night like a warm sweet potato loaded with butter, and some cheese on the side for a savory bite! 

Ingredients:

1 Medium-sized Sweet Potato

1-2 Tbsp Grass-fed Butter

1-2 oz Grass-fed, Raw milk Cheddar 

Heat up sweet potato with butter, slice up some cheese, and enjoy!

Tips: When I cook sweet potatoes, I cook a big batch and store the leftover potatoes in an airtight container in the fridge. It makes for an easy, ready-to-enjoy snack! 

Sourdough bagel with cream cheese and a boiled egg

I usually want to have something sweet at night, but every once in a while I crave something more savory. Try to find grass-fed cream cheese if you can!

Ingredients:

1 Sourdough Bagel, sliced and toasted

Cream Cheese

Optional: Add some uncured, nitrate-free salami for a real treat! 

Yogurt with raw honey and bee pollen

Grass-fed Yogurt with Bee Pollen + Honey

This is what I call a balanced, nourishing snack: high quality protein, easy-to-digest carbs, with an extra punch of vitamins and minerals from the bee pollen. 

1 Cup Grass-fed Yogurt

1 Tbsp. Raw Honey

2 tsp. Bee Pollen

Note: Bee Pollen is rich in copper, antioxidants, B vitamins, protein, and so much more. 

Save it for later!
