This hangover helper is one of the most popular smoothies at our Juice Master Juice ‘n’ Smoothie bars, so if you are out and about, or too hungover to actually make it yourself, come and see us and we’ll make you one!
Ingredients
1 large orange (peeled but keep the pith on)
1 large handful mixed berries – strawberries, blackberries, raspberries 1 banana (fairtrade where possible)
100g low-fat live yogurt
4 ice cubes
Method
1. Juice the orange and pour into the blender. Add all of the ingredients and blend until smooth. If you wish to make this in super-fast time, you can get some fresh non-concentrate orange juice and pour into the blender with the other ingredients – this saves cleaning the juicer!
Juicy Note: When you feel your head pounding after a night on the drink, most of what you are feeling is blood trying to pump through a dehydrated brain – nice!
How will it help my throbbing head and aching bod?
The oranges are rich in vitamin C, folic acid and an array of minerals, such as potassium – all of which are depleted by heavy drinking. The natural bacteria help replenish natural bacteria in the gut, quelling any nausea or an upset stomach. The natural sugars help to raise depleted blood sugar levels, and the organic water flowing through nature’s finest fruits will re-hydrate your system.
