Tart Cherry Sleepy Gummies
Tart cherry juice is a natural source of melatonin making it a wonderful sleep remedy. Melatonin and cortisol are important hormones that support your circadian rhythm and sleep wake cycles. If you are someone who struggles with falling asleep or waking up overnight, you might benefit from a little melatonin support. Tart cherries are also a polyphenol source meaning they feed the beneficial microbes in your gut microbiome as well as helping to lower inflammation.

Firstly, add the tart cherry juice to small pot and warm over a medium heat. Bloom the gelatin by adding it and the water to a small bowl, mix until it becomes firm and then set aside for a minute or two
Once the tart cherry juice is warm add the gelatin and stir until it is all melted. Take off the heat and add the magnesium powder if you are using some. Mix it well.

Once firm, slice into squares and store in a glass container - these will keep in the fridge for up to 7 days!
Have 1-2 gummies about 1 hour before bed and enjoy the Z’s! (it’s hard to stop at 2 because they are SO delicious).
