Creamy, cooling and naturally sweet — with Greek yoghurt or kefir to make it more satisfying than a standard sorbet.

Serves 2

Serve straight away for a soft-serve texture or freeze for 30–60 minutes if you want it firmer.

This gives you the freshness of a sorbet, but with more creaminess, protein and staying power from the yoghurt or kefir.

Waking up wide awake at 3 a.m. isn't always just poor sleep; it's usually your body signalling a hidden metabolic issue.

If your dinner didn't have enough carbs or protein, a blood sugar dip can trigger stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline to wake you up

Waking at 3 a.m. feeling alert isn’t always “just bad sleep.”

By that point, you’ve been fasting for hours, so your body is relying more on stored fuel to help keep blood sugar stable through the night.

If dinner was too light, too low in carbohydrate, or not balanced enough overnight, the body may need to raise cortisol and adrenaline to bring glucose back up.

And that’s exactly the kind of response that can wake you up and leave you feeling alert.

There’ s another layer too.

Sometimes dinner creates too much digestive work overnight, and even if you never notice obvious bloating or gas, that extra gut activity can still make sleep easier to break.

That 3 a.m. wake-up can be useful information.

Struggling with intense nighttime hunger? It's not a lack of discipline—it's your body trying to catch up!

When you restrict yourself, keep meals too light, or under-fuel during the day, your evening appetite gets louder and more urgent. The fix: Eat enough earlier so your body doesn't have to play catch-up at night.

A low-carb dinner doesn’t backfire for everyone.

But for some people, it can.

Sometimes dinner is simply too light or doesn’t provide enough readily available fuel to help keep them more stable through the night.

And because the body is still doing repair, regulation, and recovery overnight, sleep can become lighter or easier to interrupt.

But there can be another layer too.

A small portion of wholegrain or higher-fibre carbs may look healthier on paper, but for some people it creates more digestive work, more fermentation, and more overnight gut activity than something simpler like white rice, potatoes, or sometimes pasta.

That doesn’t always show up as obvious bloating or gas.

It may not be something they notice after dinner or even when they wake in the night.

It can just show up as sleep that feels lighter, more restless, or easier to interrupt.

So sometimes the question isn’t just:
Should I eat carbs at dinner?

It’s:
Which dinner actually helps my body settle and stay asleep?
