Now, here is the warning that comes with this reveal. Doctors caution against eating eggs in the evening if they are fried in heavy bacon grease or loaded with spicy, acidic ingredients. Heavy, greasy foods relax the esophageal sphincter, which can cause silent acid reflux when you lie down, disrupting your sleep without you even realizing it.
The secret is to prepare them in a way that is light, soothing, and rich in healthy fats that support your circulation.
Which brings me to my absolute favorite evening treat: 3-Ingredient Baked Avocado Eggs.
Since I have a strong personal preference for avocados and incorporate them into almost every single meal (even though my children absolutely do not share my liking for them, which just means I get to enjoy the whole batch!), this recipe is my evening holy grail. It’s creamy, it’s packed with heart-healthy fats for my veins, and it takes less than five minutes to prep.
Ingredients You’ll Need
The Core Three:
- 1 large, ripe avocado: The star of the show! It provides the healthy monounsaturated fats that help relax your blood vessels and keep your circulation flowing smoothly while you sleep.
- 2 small eggs: (If your avocado is very large, you might only fit one, but small eggs work perfectly!). Tip: Pasture-raised eggs have the highest levels of sleep-supporting tryptophan.
- Flaky sea salt & freshly cracked black pepper: To wake up the natural, buttery flavors.
