Post Carnival Hangover? We can work it out!


Hi, every1!

Still in the mood for revelling or have you had enough of Carnival? Feeling a bit hungover, maybe? Had too many caipirinhas to drink?

If that's the case, here are some tips for you. : )

1. Forget coffee.
    Some believe otherwise but, according to nutritionists, coffee is too fatty; therefore, it may increase headache and nausea. What specialists say is important is HYDRATION.

2. Hydration
    Well, that's where my quest began. After searching the entire web and bumping into stuff that, just by the looks of it, made me feel even sicker, I came across a perfectly drinkable juice recipe. Funny thing is, my mom used to make it when I was a kid! We lived on the coast most of my childhood and traveled a lot; mom and dad have always had a thing for sun, sand and sea, which means that, as a kid, I had to tag along. : /

Anyway, that's another story. What I mean is...

3. The juice
    The juice does taste good and truly hydrates, not to mention it boosts your suntan. So, I've decided to share it with you guys and maybe spare you from the awful side effects of alcohol.

Here it goes:

 

1 carrot - small and raw
1/2 beetroot
1/2 litre orange juice - no water!
1 litre iced coconut water

All you have to do is mix everything in a blender and drink it cold. : )

Let me know how it worked for you.
Feel free to share in case you consider this useful.

Cheers!

  1. Hey, my mom used to do the same kind of juice when I was a little brat. It's just delicious.
    I just think 1/2 beetroot a bit too much. I don't really like it so much, so...
    Anyway, 1/2 or 1/4 beetroot, the juice is awesome and highly recommended for hydration, anemia (mama said), hangover issues or if you just like a deliciuos kind of juice.

    Cheers!

    1. I'd forgotten about anemia! See, mums do know stuff, LOL!
      I like it so much that, whenever I visit Mundo Verde for a healthy snack, that's the juice I order. They've named it Afrodite. I'm just not sure whether they use coconut water in the composition, I guess not. But it's delicious anyway.
      Thanks for the comment, Antonio! It will certainly encourage other people to try the recipe. : )
      Cheers!!!

    2. Sabrina, my mother tried to make me drink that juice a few times, but never succeeded. Sorry, but I really don't like it. Many people I know say it's healthy and tastes good, though. It was quite popular when I was a child, not to cure hangover, of course. LOL
