Hangover Helper
To the rescue: My Hangover Helper, which features three ingredients to get you back on your feet.
Ingredients
- ½ heaping cup chopped ripe mango, fresh or frozen
- ½ ripe banana
- ½ heaping cup chopped pineapple, fresh, frozen, or canned and drained
- ½ to ¾ cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk*
- 3 ice cubes
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients to a blender and puree until smooth*.
Notes
*If using fresh fruit, add 1/2 cup vanilla almond milk and 3 ice cubes for a frothier smoothie. If using frozen fruit, use 3/4 cup vanilla almond milk and skip the ice. If either variation becomes too thick to blend, add a splash of extra milk.
To pump up the protein, add a scoop of protein powder to the blender with the fruit and milk for an extra 100 calories and 20 g protein.
You can easily convert this smoothie into a more substantial meal by blending 1/2 heaping cup frozen mango chunks, 1/2 fresh or frozen banana, 1/2 heaping cup frozen pineapple chunks, 1/2 to 3/4 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk, 1 tablespoon of nut butter (peanut or almond), and 3 ice cubes until thick and creamy. Pour the mixture into a bowl and top with 1 tablespoon chopped nuts, 1 tablespoon coconut flakes, 1/4 cup chopped mango, and 1 teaspoon of optional honey. 330 calories per serving.
