レッスンを作成中...
1
No one likes to go to bed hungry with your stomach growling and your cravings peaking.
2
It messes with your sleep.
3
Diet culture tells us that we shouldn't eat after a certain time,
4
but here at Pick of Limes we think it's really important to honor our hunger cues.
5
So if you're feeling hungry before bed, definitely consider eating something.
6
So today, we're going to be making some super easy,
7
quick, delicious snack recipes that nourish the body and might even help to promote a better night's sleep.
8
So let's get started.
9
For the first recipe, we're gonna make a creamy cheesecake dip that's made with an unexpected ingredient.
10
This recipe comes together in just five minutes and it's just a single step.
11
You're gonna add all of the ingredients to a small food processor,
12
blitz it up, and that's it.
13
Easy peasy.
14
So we're gonna add one and a half cups of cooked butter beans or lima beans to a small food processor.
15
And this is the unexpected ingredient,
16
but trust me, you can't even taste it in there.
17
You're just gonna have to try it out to see for yourself.
18
Then we'll add a quarter of a cup of cashew butter.
19
We do have a recipe by the way for making your own homemade cashew butter if you'd like to.
20
I'll leave the recipe link for you in the description box below.
21
Then we're going to add in three tablespoons of maple syrup,
22
a quarter of a cup of plain vegan cream cheese,
23
two teaspoons of vanilla extract,
24
and then just a little pinch of salt.
25
Then pop on the lid and blend it all up until it's smooth.
26
I'm going to top this creamy dip with some crushed up cookies
27
and freeze dried raspberries for a bit of extra crunch
28
but this is totally optional i'm also just doing it so
29
that it looks cute for the camera but you can just dig straight into it with your favorite fruit
30
we carefully crafted these recipes knowing that they have certain compounds in them
31
that have been shown to help with sleep
32
so this recipe for example features beans and cashews both of
33
which are a rich source of protein and they contain the amino acid that's called tryptophan.
34
And tryptophan is well known for its role in helping to regulate sleep.
35
If you do want to geek out and learn more about it,
36
check out this previous video that we made on the relationship between food and sleep.
37
For this next recipe, we're going to be making stuffed energy balls.
38
I've never shared this with you guys,
39
but well over 10 years ago,
40
just little baby Sadie and her sister,
41
We filmed some at-home videos together with the intention of posting these videos to YouTube,
42
but those videos never saw the light of day.
43
But one of the recipes I wanted to share even back then were these stuffed energy balls.
44
I have been obsessed with these for as long as I can remember,
45
and today they get their time in the spotlight.
46
I don't know if you're going to want to show the audio of those videos because they were like super cringy.
47
Super cringy.
48
It only makes me want to use it more.
49
No. Hey guys, I'm Sadia.
50
Today we're going to be making these chocolate orbs with a peanut butter surprise.
51
These are decadent, rich, and absolutely delicious.
52
All you need to make these are a cup of soft dates with the pits removed.
53
We're going to add it to a food processor along with half of a cup of roasted cashews,
54
two tablespoons of Dutch processed cocoa powder.
55
We'll add a tablespoon of sesame seeds and a tablespoon of ground flax seeds.
56
What sound does a nut make when it sneezes?
57
How do you tell me?
58
Cashew!
59
When everything has been added in,
60
we're just going to pop the lid onto it and blend it all up until the mixture becomes uniform.
61
It should just hold together when you press it between your fingers.
62
Then I'm going to scoop up a couple of tablespoons of the mixture into the palm of my hand,
63
form it into a ball,
64
and then use my finger to create a little crater in the center of the ball.
65
Now comes the fun part.
66
We're going to dollop a tiny bit of peanut butter into the center,
67
and then enclose the peanut butter by pinching the edges closed around it.
68
If your peanut butter is too liquid,
69
you can actually pop it in the freezer for a few minutes just to help it solidify
70
and that can make it easier to work with.
71
You can enjoy these balls as they are but
72
if you want to decorate them you can also coat them in cocoa powder or in toasted sesame seeds.
73
And now they're ready to enjoy.
74
You're also going to have leftovers
75
so you can store them for several days in the fridge
76
or what I like to do is make a bigger batch
77
and store them in the freezer just so I have it at the ready whenever I need it.
78
Now this recipe again features cashews which we know now contains tryptophan
79
but why do we keep combining it with a carb this
80
time in the form of dates well carbs help tryptophan more easily enter into the brain where it's needed
81
and so this is why a combination of carbs together with protein can help us in getting quality sleep
82
warm milk before bed it's comforting it's familiar it's been a common practice for people around the world.
83
So let's explore why, but first let's make a golden hot chocolate.
84
To get started, we're going to add all of the ingredients to a blender,
85
starting with two cups of soy milk and three medjool dates with the pits removed.
86
Soy is also a good source of tryptophan and
87
when you combine it with the quick digesting carbs that are in the dates,
88
it again just helps to ensure that that tryptophan more easily enters into our brain.
89
Then we can add in two tablespoons of Dutch processed cocoa powder.
90
We'll add a teaspoon of ground cinnamon,
91
a quarter of a teaspoon of ground turmeric,
92
a quarter of a teaspoon of vanilla extract,
93
and then a pinch of optional ground nutmeg and black pepper.
94
Then we're going to pop the lid onto it and blitz it up until it's smooth.
95
I like to sweeten this with dates because I like the little bit of extra fiber that it provides,
96
but if you don't have a blender,
97
you can always use maple syrup instead,
98
and then you can just add all of the ingredients straight into the saucepan.
99
For now, we're going to add these ingredients to a saucepan,
100
and then just stir it continuously until it heats up.
101
Be sure to keep stirring so that the milk doesn't scorch.
102
Soy milk is also a good source of calcium,
103
and calcium plays a role in the production of melatonin,
104
which is a hormone that helps to regulate our sleep and wake cycles.
105
And just as an aside,
106
other minerals can help us with our sleep as well,
107
things like iron, magnesium, and zinc.
108
If you do wanna geek out more about that,
109
we've written a nutrition article,
110
and I'm gonna leave that link for you in the description box below.
111
When the milk is just heated through,
112
take the saucepan off of the heat,
113
and then just pour it into some mugs.
114
You can top it with some milk froth if you'd like.
115
We're also just kind of garnishing it with some ground turmeric and cinnamon,
116
but you definitely don't have to use this.
117
Now this comforting and nourishing cup of hot chocolate is ready to enjoy.
118
I hope you enjoyed the snacks that we made today, friends.
119
In summary, snacks
120
that work really well in the evening to help to promote a better night's sleep are those
121
that contain protein combined together with carbs,
122
and it's all the more helpful if it's rich in minerals,
123
which a lot of plant-based foods tend to be.
124
If you're looking for even more snack ideas,
125
we have nearly 200 snack recipes alone in our app,
126
and there's new recipes in general just added every single weekday.
127
So I'll leave a link for that in the description box below.
128

129
I really appreciate it.
130

133
You want me to up top?
134
You want me to like Valley Girl?
135

136
Pour it into some mugs.
137
If you want, you can top it with some foam.
138
Foam?
139
Is it called foam?
140
Foam.
141
Is it called foam?
142
Foam sounds weird.
143
What do you add on it?
144
Foam?
145
Frothed milk.
146
Some milk froth.
147
Can I say that?
148
Frothed.
149
No. Maybe that's how the British say it.
150
It's frothed milk.

練習のヒント
このビデオのスピードやトーンに合わせて、shadow speakのテクニックを使ってみてください。最初にビデオを少しゆっくりと聞き、その後、繰り返してみることで、shadowspeakのスキルが向上します。特に、料理のプロセスを説明する部分や、具体的な食材について言及している部分を重点的に練習すると良いでしょう。動作を視覚化しながら声に出してみることで、より自然な英語の発音を習得できます。この方法を使って、英語の発音を良くすることができ、日常会話でも自信を持って話すことができるようになります。
シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
