Strawberry banana ice cream:
Ice cream is verily a late night treat, but make sure not to overeat it. The traditional forms of ice creams can be replaced with mashed or well beaten bananas or frozen bananas.

You should know that this is not always very easy on your tummy at night, but cottage cheese is highly rich in protein content called casein. This is a slow-digesting milk protein which elevates recovery while sleeping. You need to avoid taking it along with roti or bread as it will further prolong its digestion time.
