Bananas are one of the few foods that contain both tryptophan and vitamin B6 — the combination needed to produce serotonin, the feel-good neurotransmitter. Paired with oats (which provide sustained carbohydrates that help tryptophan reach the brain), these snacks are designed to naturally support a calm, happy mood.
