fruits or whole grains. Plan a few dessert recipes that incorporate these healthier alternatives. 2. Prepare Desserts : Over the course of a week, prepare a different dessert each night. Ideas might include a fruit and yogurt parfait, oatmeal cookies with reduced sugar, or a dark chocolate and nut mix. Get creative and try to incorporate ingredients that can aid relaxation and sleep, like cherries or almonds, which contain sleep-supportive compounds. 3. Record Observations : Keep a dessert diary noting what you prepared, the ingredients used, and how you felt after eating the dessert, particularly noting any effects on your sleep quality and energy the following morning. 4. Reflect and Analyse : At the end of the week, review your dessert diary. Determine which desserts seemed to contribute to the best sleep and how they made you feel overall. 5. Share and Discuss : Submit your findings, favourite recipes, and any tips you discovered about making healthier desserts. This could include what ingredients worked best, how to balance flavours with less sugar, and other insights into making desserts that are good for you and good for sleep. Bonus Activities: Dessert Swap Social : Organize a virtual or in-person dessert swap where friends and family make and share their own healthy desserts. This provides a great opportunity for taste-testing a variety of options and getting feedback on different recipes. Dessert Nutrition Facts : Include a section in the comments section of the book download or in a community newsletter where kids can learn about the nutritional content of various dessert ingredients, highlighting those that are beneficial for health and sleep.
