The Sunday hangover remedy

Like most people Sunday usually means the same thing:
a.) A big breakfast - always involving eggs
b.) The Sunday papers
c.) Roast dinner or something involving a chunk of meat

After buying an armful of Sunday papers, I make a pot of  tea (earl grey or if I have a chronic hangover PG) and spend the morning milling over the news.
Which usually turns into me gazing lovingly (and longingly) at the lifestyle supplement sections. I love the home and interior sections, also daydreaming over the recipes and travel pullouts.

Since doing a juice cleanse a few weeks ago (yep, I'm still banging out about that!), which I enjoyed and really benefited from, my Sundays now include juices.
And if you had a big Saturday night out, this is a perfect, painless and easy way to inject some goodness into your Sambucca and wine frazzled stomach.

The Sunday Sanctuary juice is delicate, green and frothy - packed with vitamin C, calcium, magnesium and folic acid. Perfect for soothing a boozy head and stomach.
The lime and mint adds a refreshing but sharp taste - good for a morning wake-up call.




The Sunday Sanctuary
 Ingredients:
1 apple
2 pears
1/2 lime (not peeled)
3 springs of mint
1 parsnip (not peeled)

This juice is so simple to make.
Just chuck all the ingredients into your juicer, exactly as they are.
No need to bother peeling or chopping into pieces.
To make sure you get the most out of the lime and mint - sandwich them between the
apple or pears as you fill your juicer.


Not sure why I poured mine into a chunky wine glass?
Must have still have Saturday night booze on the brain.
Anyway, just pour over some ice and drink while the froth's still soft on the top.
 
make-up free and hair unbrushed. Not a good morning look.

The perfect hangover cure

If like me you've woken up this morning feeling a bit groggy (two bottles of prosecco, finished with a bottle of red, whooops) I have the perfect hangover remedy.

Forget Mc Donalds, or the obligatory hangover bacon sandwich, this will sort you right out.

Instead of a normal caffeine hit, espresso, cuppa tea, whatever, start with a simple but very effective 
spicy juice shot.
All you need is an apple and some ginger



Ingredients:
 1 apple
3 cm ginger root

Cut the apple in half, cut a slice of ginger and add both to your juicer.
Pour into a shot glass and down in one. 
Basic but with a bite. 
The ginger gives a sharp snap to the juice.

Next is the Booze Buster juice. 
This juice has all the vitamins, nutrients and minerals to stamp all 
over any hangover and give you an energy boost.
OK, it's not a Sausage & Egg McMuffin but believe me, it's the perfect hangover cure.
 

Ingredients:
1/4 pineapple (cut off all the rough skin)
15 sugar snap peas
1/2 lime (not peeled)
1/4 cucumber
1/2 courgette
1cm fennel

Simply add all the ingredients, one-by-one into your juicer. 
No need to mess around taking the skin off, apart from the pineapple.
Add ice for an extra crisp boost.

The perfect start to the day
 
A cracking way to beat the hangover blues. Try it, you won't be disappointed.
 Trust me.
