Researchers found that drinking tart cherry juice twice a day… helped increase sleep time by nearly 90 minutes.
Sleep is one of the cornerstones of good health, and the amount of sleep we get impacts every aspect of our lives. Almost everyone struggles to get the sleep they need once in a while. But, according to the National Sleep Foundation, almost 25% of us have trouble getting the sleep we need almost every night. It’s easy to understand why so many of us are looking for alternative treatment options and natural remedies and why the tart cherry juice findings are significant.
Tart cherry juice is one of the powerhouse ingredients that lives up to the ‘food as medicine’ hype. Research has shown that it can help to improve sleep(1,2), reduce muscle soreness & inflammation (3), and may even reduce belly fat (4). That’s a lot of goodness packed into these little antioxidant nuggets of juicy joy.

I love soups. In fact, every Sunday (Soup Sunday), I make soup for the week — especially during the cooler months. Having soup on hand makes for easier meal prep throughout the week. Plus, most soups freeze well. So I can stock the freezer for days when I don’t have the time or bandwidth for preparing a meal from scratch.
In my household, we have different nourishing needs. My partner often prefers more meat. I prefer more vegetarian meals. For this recipe, I cook it up until the point where the lentils are fully cooked. After that, I divide the soup before I serve. I add the kale and corn to my soup and the Polish Sausage and spinach to his.
I hope that you enjoy this recipe as much as I do.
