"Moon Milk" Recipe

Moon Milk For A Better Night’s Sleep

In Ayurveda - one of the oldest systems of "whole-body"healing in the world - moon milk is a common remedy for stress, anxiety and insomnia. Our moon milk recipe combines cashews and coconut cream, with cinnamon and nutmeg (natural sleep aids) and ashwagandha (an adaptogen that helps your body manage stress) to help inspire a blissful night’s sleep.

You can sip on this moon milk any time of day for a boost in focus or to help you unwind after a long day at work. Its mild sweetness makes it an excellent after dinner treat. About an hour before bed, turn off the electronics and enjoy a warm epsom salt bath for an extra relaxing effect!
