Hangover preventing smoothie

A quick non-writing related blog post:

How to make a hangover-preventing smoothie.

Firstly, there is one very important disclaimer, you must drink this smoothie BEFORE you go to bed. It will do its magic whilst you sleep, and ensure that when you wake up you’re not depleted of essential minerals and vitamins etc.

Ingredients:

1 x banana

A fistful of blueberries (i.e. 20 berries)

A teaspoon of Chia seeds

300 ml of milk (I prefer whole, organic milk)

3 x Ice-cubes

Pour the milk into the blender first, and then add everything else, give it a good 30 second blast and enjoy.

I had a fairly big night last night, mainly drinking vodka and whisky. But when I got home after midnight, I was still able enough to make this smoothie. Banana’s are very high is potassium, Chia seeds are higher. In fact, Chia seeds are probably the most important ingredient in this smoothie, as they are packed with calcium, Omega-3, potassium, amino-acids, protein, iron and most likely a hundred other things. Your local supermarket or health store will sell these. Get the mixed (black & white) seeds.

Up until a few months ago I had no idea what these seeds were. A good friend of mine recommended them to me, and now my girlfriend and I are hooked.

Blueberries are full of anti-oxidants and should help fend off any free-radicals coursing through your body after your  big night out.

I woke up this morning feeling 100%. Try this smoothie out and let me know if it worked for you too!!
