Better Sleep with Nutritional Yeast
Trouble sleeping? Try nutritional yeast. Usually reserved as a dietary supplement for vegetarians and vegans nutritional yeast is high in tryptophan and other essential nutrients. I find that when I make sure to get enough of it I sleep easier and better and more restful.
If you're wondering what it tastes like, that's an easy question to answer. It has a cheesey taste. But with note of bitterness. Like a french cheeese. It also has some nutty qualities. It makes a great aaddition to boxed macaroni and cheese. Vegans like to use it to make faux mac and cheese. Which is good by the way. But it also enhances the flavor the of classic store kind. I use it to make a low fat, low cal version. Instead of lots of butter or margarine. I use only one tablespoon of fat. 1/4 cup almond milk and about 1/3 cup water and 1/4 cup nutri yeast added to the cheese powder packet. It gives it a more complex cheese flavor and ups the nutrients considerably.
Nutritional yeast can be treated and used in the same way one might utilize grated cheeses. Sprinkle it on spaghetti sauce or mashed potatoes and stir. It adds multiple levels of flavor and texture. It's also great on salads. Douse with vinegar or salad dressing for new levels of flavor.
You don't have to be vegetarian or vegan to enjoy nutritional yeast. It tastes good. Is very healthy. And might also help with your sleep problems. Give it a try. What have you got to lose other than your insomia and your prescription sleep aids.
