We have all been there at some point and it can come in many forms. And it isn’t pleasant in the slightest. But that doesn’t mean that you should suffer with the feeling nausea. So whether you feel sick because of a tummy bug, food poisoning, pregnancy, or even a bad-ass hangover, here is the cure to help you ride it out. This anti-sickness smoothie has been tried and tested by myself for some of the worst hangovers you have ever seen, and if it can get me through a whiskey hangover, then it should help you out in any other way.

What you need for the anti-sickness smoothie-
1/2 cucumber
1 small apple
1 teaspoon of frozen ginger
1 teaspoon of chia seeds
honey
ice
water
A good blender
What you need to do-
When I make this, I like to use my Nutra Ninja blender, mainly because it really whizzes everything up instead of leaving me with a rancid pulp that I get from using a hand blender. I use the big jug that comes with it so I will end up with around 500ml of smoothie. You want to get this really smooth because you don’t want to be choking down any bits. Peel the skin off the cucumber and the apple to reduce the number of lumpy bits that you get. Once that is done, pop them in your jug. Then add a few ice cubes, around 3 to 5 should do it. Frozen ginger can be found in most major supermarkets now and it is great for keeping in the freezer for making smoothies and general cooking. The problem with ginger is you need to add one teaspoon for it to help your stomach but depending on how much water you add will depend on the strength of the ginger. Fill up your jug with some water, but not too much, around halfway is good after adding your other ingredients. All that is left is a teaspoon of chia seeds and some honey to taste. If you have a stomach bug, Manuka honey is great to use because it is believed to have anti-bacterial properties. Once everything is on the jug, pop on the lid and whizz it up until everything looks smooth and mixed together. All you need to do now is put your smoothie in your favourite glass, relax, and sip away until your nausea eases. Enjoy! But feel free to use a different straw from mine, you probably don’t have the same type that I have knocking about the kitchen.
Good to know! I have a few friends and family members that could use this for their hangovers! haha, keep up the good work!P.s I love your affiliate link tag! haha

Good. It will help me for sure.
Wish I have known about this in my younger days! Homemade recipes are often the best cure.Cheers,Atila
I am totally bookmarking this post. WInter is on the way, and I’m hoping the sickness passes us by, but on the off chance I want to have this ready when it starts getting really cold and sickness is starting to linger.
Yes! This smoothie is a great idea – lots of good ingredients! Thanks for sharing!
This will definitely come in handy. Thank you for sharing this remedy !!
I didn;t know about this. but this is great to know, a smoothie for nausea. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
This sounds like a great smoothie full of vitamins to drink when you don’t feel very well. I personally can only drink water if I have nausea, anything else upsets my stomach.
This is ni e to know when you either had one too many or just feel a little but icky.
This is great smoothie full of vitamins and minerals for skin as well.. thanks for sharing
This sounds like something I need to try out. I’ve been feeling less healthy these last few months (allergies). Your smmothie maybe the boost that I need.
It’s starting to be cold but I guess I would still consider trying to make this in the coming days. Let’s see how will it turn out.
Great recipe! I love finding new alternatives for anti-sickness. I will have to try this next time I get sick!
I found this recipe at the perfect time! A cold has hit my house
This sounds great. When I was in college I would inevitably get sick every first week of a new semester. I started drinking specific smoothies the week before and my the time I was in my last year, I wasn’t sick at the beginning of each session anymore!
