This past weekend I got a request from a good friend for a smoothie to help with hangovers. We were drinking whisky at the time, so he was probably looking towards his immediate future. Through my extensive internet research, I surprisingly found that many of the ingredients that helped with hangovers were things I used pretty regularly and usually have in stock. Bananas are loaded with potassium which helps replenish nutrients. Berries help the body metabolize any alcohol left in your system after a night (or day) of boozin’ and almonds help keep that awesome nausea in check. I also threw some spinach in there because you gotta get your greens. Try this out next time you wake up regretting having those last 2-6 drinks. And don’t drink and drive.
