So You're Hungover...

We've all been there. Vegans are no exception.

You drank that whole bottle of 9$ Aussie Cab Sav.

You have work in the morning!!! 

You looked like this before you went out:

But now you look something like this: 

"uggghhhh"

What's a vegan to do? 

First things first, 

                          before you even go out: 

Fill up a big glass of water and put it beside your bed. You know your drinking tonight. You know you're going to finish the bottle of wine. Let sober you take care of drunk you. 

Next to this glass of water put a capsule of Milk Thistle. It helps your liver metabolize stuff. Show your liver some love!! 

Next to the Milk Thistle I strongly suggest putting some valerian root or other sleep aid. Quantity of sleep has sort of gone out the window at this point, so go for the quality.

When you get home, drink the whole thing of water, take the capsules, and pass the fuck out. (but don't forget to set your alarm!!) 

Zzzzzzzzz

WAKE UP, WAKE UP. 

Get your ass in the shower. Trust me, you look/smell like shit. 

If you took my advice, you should be feeling decently all right. 

Unless of course you let that rando buy you a tequila shot. 

Uh oh. 

Now it's time for Maren's  hungover smoothie!

Ingredients: 

Vega protein powder 

Almond milk 

Ground flax 

Banana 

Coffee 

Instructions:

Blend. 

Drink. 

BE PRODUCTIVE. 

WE ARE GETTING SO MUCH WORK DONE TODAY GUYS

All the alcohol you ingested the night before has made you one dehydrated acidic mess. You need to rehydrate, and alkalize. FAST. This smoothie is great for that, the vega is ridic alkaline and so is the almond milk, and the EFA's in the flax are anti-inflammatory and will help with the throbbing happening in your skull. 

However, the coffee is dehydrating and acidic, so moderation please people. I would suggest cutting it out completely, but let's get real. 

You are already late. 

If you are like me and you have a job that you can wear sweat pants too and people will just think that you had an early morning yoga class before work, put on your sweatpants. 

Fill up your water bottle, and put some Emergen-C in this water. 

Emergen-C has all the electrolytes you guys. 

ALL OF THEM. 

It also has 1000mg of vitamin C and lots of B-Vitamins for energy. 

It's also PH neutral so it won't make you any more acidic, and it also means it's safe to take up to 4 packets a day. 

Throw some in your purse, pet something really soft (like a kitten!) and then get ready for a full 8 hour shift of pretending to smile and reading the texts you sent last night.
