My old mom’s thejiniga walnut smoothie recipe that’s become my go-to evening ritual for weight loss, better sleep (natural melatonin) and skin 
• Handful of organic walnuts (about 7–9)
• half ripe banana
• Organic milk or your favorite non-dairy
Step 1: Soak the walnuts overnight (or at least a few hours) in water and dump out the water! Soaking reduces phytic acid and enzyme inhibitors that can block your body’s ability to absorb important minerals like zinc, iron, and calcium. Plus, the texture becomes creamier for smoothie.

Walnuts are a natural source of melatonin and contain tryptophan, an amino acid that helps your body produce more melatonin—great for regulating sleep cycles naturally. So it’s perfect if you have hard time sleeping. 

Step 2: Use only ripe bananas

Blend everything together until smooth. It’s so filling, and calming—perfect as a light dinner especially if you’re looking for a healthier way to support sleep and digestion. I was able to slim down post surgery doing this and felt so much better. Eating dinner late or heavy isn’t good for your health anyways so this a great alternative and won’t make you hungry. Try it out even for a few nights during the week.
