This make-ahead smoothie is filling, with 25 grams (g) of protein and over 11 g of fiber per serving. In addition to the acai, cherry, and kale, the smoothie includes bananas and protein powder.
Cherries contain a type of antioxidant called anthocyanins, which may promote healthy sleep patterns.
Further, a small 2018 study involving older adults with insomnia found that drinking 1 cup of tart cherry juice in the morning and 2 hours before bed was associated with an increased sleep time.
