Fix-all Smoothie

It's heading into party season regardless of which hemisphere you're in. Northern hemisphere ladies (and boys for that matter) will be going out to Winter Christmas parties, whereas those of us in the Southern hemisphere are heading back into summer (FINALLY). If you need something for recovery or to pep you up and give you a bit of a meal this is my favourite. I drink one like this pretty much everyday and I think it's really helped get me through that "sick" part of winter.

Honestly the best thing about this one is you can make a blender full then have half before you go out and the other half when you get back/the following morning. Being prone to colds, being a lightweight or needing something easy to drink on the go this is the perfect option.

OK, without anymore pre-amble here's my anti-hangover/immunity booster/recovery smoothie

All in a blender:

• 1/2 - 1 cup of blueberries - these little berries have so many antioxidants in them, they're great for helping give your body an extra boost. I like to add a few raspberries too if I want something a little more tangy. 
• A banana - a big one, not a tiny wee bobby one. These have potassium in them so if you're drinking anything alcoholic your potassium levels can get depleted. 
• A cup of almond milk or soy milk - whichever you prefer. This helps make the drink more of a "meal" and will fill you up and line your tummy. 
• LSA - this gives you some protein and good fats - it'll also help you feel full for longer. 
• OPTIONAL: grated ginger and spinach or kale. The ginger makes the smoothie taste amazing with the blueberries and the spinach, well it's spinach. It's good for you innit? 

Blend it all up, serve in a nice glass with a straw and drink throughout the day/evening before you go out.
