Why a mezze plate? Did you know that eating a high-carb diet late at night will negatively affect your sleep and make you wake up feeling sluggish? It will also spike your blood sugar levels and increase weight gain.
Last week’s blog about sleep hacks preceded this week’s news about the link between lack of sleep and health problems after 50. If you need sleep support, revisit last week’s sleep blog.
With many being time-poor when it comes to dinners, I love to prepare healthy Mezze plates. I had a friend come over this week, and we simply had a mezze plate for dinner. It was delicious, and I woke up energized the next day.
In my mezze selection, I had regular and beetroot hummus, olives, crudites, halloumi, sun-dried tomatoes and a new addition I just conceived with smoked salmon, cream cheese, caviar and chives on 100% seed gluten-free crackers instead of mini pancakes or water crackers.
This simple swap keeps this canape low GI and doesn’t put any stress on your digestive system.
A very simple addition to my mezze that was a real hit!
Simply place 100% seed crackers on a plate, add 1 tsp of cream cheese or a vegan similar product, add smoked salmon & garnish with caviar, chives & black pepper.
You may ask how you can have a mezze plate for dinner when I recommend nothing raw after 4 pm. You can easily sip herbal tea or soup on the side of this meal to support your digestive system.
Finish the night off with the Rejuv Moon Milk and our Bedtime Blend Capsules to prepare even better for a good night’s sleep. For more tips, see last week’s blog: Sleep Well, Rest and Detoxify.
