This week I was
ill. From feeling drained & a bit ‘off’ on Tuesday evening to sickness
& diarrhea (I did say there would be too much information!) on Wednesday,
with me splitting my time between the bathroom & my bed trying to
recuperate. I felt totally wiped out & spent a huge chunk of the day
sleeping.
This morning I
felt better, still had stomach ache but questioned whether that was because I
was still ill or because I hadn’t eaten since breakfast yesterday (and I saw
that again within a couple hours! More TMI! Sorry!) I had that ‘morning after
the sickness before’ quandary – should I have breakfast or will it make me sick
again? I decided to go on the side of caution & leave it a couple hours to
see how I felt. I walked the dog, the fresh air certainly made me feel clearer
headed & dare I say it; hungry. I decided that what I needed was something
quick & easy, that would provide plenty of nutrients that my body was short
on after yesterday, was easy to eat but still tasted yummy. What ticks all
those boxes for me is a smoothie, specifically an Oatmeal Almond Milk Smoothie.
Yum. So I thought I would share my recipe. I use US measuring cups to get the
quantities but I know not everyone has measuring cups so I’ll post it twice –
one with cups, one with grams & milliliters.
