I’ve experienced terrible anxiety in the past and found that a proper diet with 5 fruit and veg portions per day plus cutting out synthetic sugars really helped. I think that if you prefer to use completely natural remedies for treating anxiety, these might be worth including in your recipe. The adaptogenic herbs that people usually use to make wonderfully delicious milks can apparently really help with reducing stress levels. Very relaxing & may help to treat anxiety I prefer sweet, hot drinks to high cal foods that I’ll chow down in a matter of moments like a chocolate bar. There are plenty of other benefits too if you’re a plant based milk drinker like myself and some of those include the following: A sweet, low cal, natural treat If you add a spice like nutmeg to whatever milk you choose, that should still help to induce sleepiness and encourage a feeling of wellbeing and calmness. However, that’s only one of the main benefits of this wonderful ancient Ayrevedic remedy.

In short, if you’re using nut milk, that won’t contain much, or any, tryptophan at all and tryptophan is the main reason why moon milk is called moon milk, because as mentioned above, it induces sleep by increasing melatonin levels in the blood. The ones that are available are usually astronomically expensive, but being organic, they are also quite potent so you’ll only need to add a small amount of them to flavour the milk. I’d also be a little wary of using lavender flowers in a kids’ drink because the flowers are very small and may present a choking hazard if they aren’t all removed in the straining process. I want to mention that it can sadly be quite tricky to find organic rose buds and lavender flowers in particular - or it seems to be where I am (in the United Kingdom). This is because porous foods absorb chemical pesticides effortlessly and they deeply penetrate their structures. Some of them can interact with medications so this is very important.Īs a second important side-note, whenever you’re adding any porous ingredient to a recipe, such as an herb or flower, make sure that it’s organic, has been cleaned, and is food-grade. Sweeteners: More necessary when using unsweetened almond, oat and soy milk.Īs an important side-note, I wholly recommend talking to your doctor before consuming any new herb or spice. Spices: nutmeg, turmeric, vanilla, cinnamon, cardamon, anise, bergamot, clove. Herbs: ginseng, ashwagandha, peppermint, lemon balm, valerian root. Flowers are also great for making the final result super pretty. Popular choices include strawberry, blueberry and cherries.ĭried flowers: chamomile, lavender, rose, hibiscus, elderflower. These are the more commonly foods used to flavour the milk but there are plenty more to consider.įruits: Usually powered but certainly, fresh fruits can also be used. If you’re presently stumped for ideas, Pinterest is overflowing with delicious recipe suggestions. You can flavour the milk with all kinds of beautiful, fragrant spices, herbs, fruits, and flowers, so you’ll never get bored of drinking the same recipe – there are so many different ones out there to try out and fall in love with! If you can, try going for organic, whatever milk you opt for.

Oat milk (my personal recommendation and favorite).

Other Types of Milk to UseĪs mentioned above, you can use any milk when making moon milk, it doesn’t have to be dairy milk.

So using dairy may be worth your consideration if you’d like something natural to help induce sleepiness.

Apadptogens are known to aid sleep and rest. In fact, Moon Milk was originally an Ayurvedic remedy because warm milk induces sleep, especially when combined with spices such as nutmeg and an adaptogen such as Ashwagandha. Have you ever noticed how you or other people feel sleepier after eating a bunch of it on Thanksgiving and Christmas day? Yep, that’s the tryptophan doing its thing! Dairy milk contains the essential amino acid tryptophan and this can increase the sleep hormone, melatonin, in your body and that means you’ll fall sleep faster and sleep more deeply.

If you are able to, and agree with, consuming dairy milk, there’s actually a big pro to using it. I’m a vegetarian so I do consume dairy products but as much as I like dairy milk, it doesn’t like me for some reason, so I usually prefer to use nut milks in my moon milk recipes. You can use any kind of milk to make it - it doesn’t have to come from an animal.
