Moon milk is an interesting concept - milk from plants that you drink before bed to encourage good sleep. These 55 recipes generally look really tasty though some are decidedly odd. Instructions are given for making the plant based milks before going onto making the bed time beverages.

Moon Milk ist der Hammer! Ich nehme sie ab und zu vegan mit Haferdrink, weil ich finde, die lässt sich am besten aufschäumen. Im Buch sind aber noch viele weitere Alternative je nach Rezept aufgelistet, Kokosdrink oder Mandeldrink.
Die Gewürze sind mitunter etwas exotisch und ich habe lange gebraucht, bis ich einen Bio-Laden gefunden habe, der Ashwaganda Pulver hat. Aber es wirkt!

Die Rezept sind einfach gehalten (trotz exotischer Zutaten, aber die können ja auch mal durch andere ersetzt werden). Vorne ist eine tolle Einführung - kurz und knackig - in das Ayurveda und die Bedeutung und Zubereitung der Moon Milk. Mein Lieblingsrezept ist die Moon Milk Kamille oder mit Lavendel. Toll ist auch die warme Bananenmilch. Man schläft wirklich wie ein Baby danach!

The author suggests skipping chocolate protein powder before bed because it can have a bit of caffeine and then offers a full chai recipe to be used before bed…

This book is cute (which is why I bought it), but I’m not convinced the recipes are practical or even ones the author actually uses. She mentioned she was creating recipes for the book, which makes me think they were made to fit the cute concept rather than tested in real life.

Honestly, it all feels a little unnecessary to me.

This book is lovely-looking, nice photos, but it feels more like it should be an Insta account. (She actually gives a nod to Insta in the book.) The recipes seem lovely, some I want to try, but some require ingredients I don't have (cacao butter?!) that would be hard to get on the small island where I live.

Definitely some recipes worth trying! Quick read, beautifully illustrated, simple directions.
