Beat The Flu – Smoothie

There is a flu going around and I was so hoping that it won’t catch me, but I guess spending a day in the train last week just was a bit too risky. The flu got me after all! At first I thought this would be a quick “visit”, because after three days I already started to feel much better. I thought that I would be back in tip top shape today, but I guess the flu found some good reason to stay a bit longer. Today I feel as bad as on the first day again. How is this even possible? That just ain’t right!

Determined to say bye-bye to the flu (and to the pale-face-red-eyes-vampire-look) once and for all, I stomped into the kitchen this morning to make a smoothie. I added ginger and all citrus fruits I could get my hands on and even added some cooled down spiced tea. “Take that, flu!” I thought to myself while the blades of the blender were spinning (getting all the anger out helps too ;-)). And out came a beautiful, bright-yellow, sunshine smoothie that tasted so refreshing that I had to share it with you.

 

 

The lovely color reminded me of the yellow clock from my grandfather that stands on my desk – both made a nice pair on the picture ;-).

I don’t know if it was the happy color or the mix of ingredients, but drinking this made me feel a bit better  instantly. Fingers crossed that the flu has had enough of me soon. The weather has been too wonderful lately and I wanna go out and play!
