Some crazy smoothies for your hangover

Many people recommend a hangover remedies of all the other remedy mixed together in a cure-all. If my blender worked, I would maybe try one of these. Ok, probably not.  If you do want to try to find the silver bullet of remedies, be sure to include some of the following items:

Bananas: remember the day we talked about electrolytes? Potassium is important and bananas are chock full of it.
Looks gross, tastes worse...

Other fruits: try the frozen strawberries leftover that somehow didn't make it into last night's margaritas. Strawberries are an excellent source of Vitamin C and flavonoids. I'm not sure what those are, but I'm pretty sure they are good. Other good fruits are oranges, cherries, blueberries (antioxidants in the last two are terrific), and peaches.

Milk/yogurt/ice cream: Calcium was another one of those electrolytes. Dairy it up.

Tomato juice: might not be your first choice to put in your smoothie, but it's good for you. Besides, you're hungover. You already feel like crap. Just drink it already.

Ice: it's made of water. You need water.
