The oats and yoghurt help make this a slow-release drink rather than a big sugar hit. You could add extra fruit and berries if you want. The banana provides tryptophan and magnesium, which are both important for sleep.
Ingredients
20g oats
3 tbsp full-fat natural yoghurt
1 banana
100ml milk
1/2 tsp cinnamon
Method
1. Put all the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth, then serve.
