Ginger-Peach Smoothie

Cold, sippable, and gentle. Ginger is one of the most reliable natural anti-nausea foods, and blending makes calories easy to get down when eating feels like too much.

Gentle for nausea, low appetite.

Ingredients

• 1 cup frozen peach slices
• 1 small ripe banana
• 1/2 cup plain or vanilla yogurt (pasteurized)
• 1/2 cup milk or oat milk
• 1/2 tsp grated fresh ginger (or pinch ground)
• 1 tsp honey (optional)

How to make it

1. Add all ingredients to a blender.
2. Blend until completely smooth, ~45 sec.
3. Add a splash more milk if too thick.
4. Sip slowly, cold, through a straw.
5. Tip: Serve well chilled — cold blunts nausea and smell. Make a double batch and freeze extra in popsicle molds.
