SMOOTHIE CRIMINAL

Ariana This is a true recovery cocktail. If you wake up with that hangover stomach feeling and a headache, this will help. I like the mix of strawberries, peach, bananas, and goji berries, but anything you have will do if you’re desperate and only have a few of the fruits. Tom and I keep a bag of flax seed for this drink and we add just a small handful in. You can also add those electrolyte packets into the mix. Serves 1

• 5 strawberries
• 1 peach, peeled, cored, and cut into chunks
• 1 banana, cut into chunks
• 10 goji berries
• 1 teaspoon flax seed
• 1 cup coconut water
• 1 ounce vodka (optional)

Garnish: 2 Midol Complete (optional)

Special Tool: Blender

Glassware: Tall Glass

Spirit: Vodka (optional)

Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend together until smooth. Stir in an ounce of vodka, depending on the level of hangover.

Consume ASAP directly from blender (or pour into a glass if you prefer). Use as a chaser for Midol.

Note

If you want a classic recovery drink, make this sans vodka. If you want a hair-of-the-dog/morning after drink, then add the vodka. Both make for a great lunch!
