Weight Loss: Abs Diet Milkshake
The Problem: You wake up groggy
The Prescription: A milkshake at night
Why? When researchers in the Netherlands served people tryptophan-laden milkshakes before bed, those who normally had sleep problems performed better on mental-alertness tests the next morning. Tryptophan is a precursor of serotonin, a hormone related to restful sleep.
Remedy Recipe: Most of the tryptophan found in dairy comes from the whey component, so pour cup of part-skim ricotta cheese and 1 scoop of whey protein into the blender along with 1 cup of fat-free milk. Then toss in half of a ripe banana for flavor. Three ice cubes will add volume (without calories), and tsp vanilla extract will make it even tastier (without sugar and more calories). Blend well. Makes 1 serving
