Vegetarian and Vegan Hangover Cure Foods
Wondering how to cure a hangover as a vegetarian or vegan? Explore the truth and science behind famous hangovers, and find out which vegetarian and vegan cures work best to cure hangovers.
Before we get to the more surprising vegetarian and vegan hangouts, make sure everything you eat in the morning after breakfast drops with a large amount of water.
We will talk about other liquids that may help later, but first, water is important to recover from a hangover, whether you are vegetarian, vegan or not! To supplement the sodium and glycogen while consuming all the martinis, you can add a small (about 1/8 teaspoon) of salt and sugar and add a pinch of lemon or lime juice. But don't bother looking for a measuring spoon with that cracked headache. Just put a little pinch of each in your water.
Hangover Cure # 2: Fruit Juice and Smoothies
Nothing like a giant glass of fresh orange juice when you're hungover? But why? It's all in the sugar. The fructose, to be exact. Fructose helps to speed up the metabolism of all the nasty remaining tequila toxins, and the vitamin aid also helps. Do not be orange juice, any fruit juice will continue. A fruit-based smoothie will do the same trick, filling you up a bit more too.
Here are some juice blends and fruity hangover smoothies to try:
Blueberry Spinach Superfood Smoothie
Ginger plum smoothie
Blood orange strawberry smoothie
Mango Honey Green Smoothie
Hangover Cure # 3: Bananas and Potatoes
Why? Bananas are rich in potassium, which is one of the electrolytes that your body loses, while Long Island Iced Teas consume the size of Australia.
Greasy potatoes have long been a traditional cat's cure, and perhaps for good reason. Yes, they feel good and settle your stomach, but they also contain quite a lot of potassium as long as you keep the skins going. However, fatty food does not help so keep it simple. From bananas and potatoes? Look for these other potassium-rich vegetarian and vegan foods to relieve hangover symptoms: white beans, spinach and mushrooms. Here are some breakfast potato recipes that you can serve with a sliced banana for a vegetarian hangover breakfast:
Potato breakfast burrito
Spicy breakfast of potatoes with mushrooms
Vegan fried potato patties
Tempeh and potato breakfast hash
Hangover Cure # 4: Cysteine
Wait what? Cysteine? What is it? Cysteine is a substance found in many foods that helps break down toxins in the liver. It is found in eggs, which may explain why fatty eggs have long been a cure, but don't worry about vegans, but it is also found in red pepper, garlic, onions and broccoli. Enjoy a vegetable stir fry with chili pepper and broccoli for a casserole breakfast?
Here are some more cysteine-rich breakfast ideas:
Kloppeperomelet
Tofu scramble with bell peppers (use only red instead of green)
Vegan Breakfast Quiche With Broccoli
Broccoli breakfast stir-fried with vegetarian sausage (add bell peppers, if you like, or eggs, if you're not vegan)
Hangover Cure # 5: Sports Drink
Sports drinking works by replenishing lost electrolytes while drinking, so you feel better fast. Adding a little salt and sugar to water also works. Rehydration can be the key to healing hangovers, but sports drinks and water also help move the alcohol through your system faster by diluting all the small residues still in your abdomen and making them angry. Watch out for caffeine in sports drinks, as caffeine drinks can make you feel better temporarily, they will only expand your hangover and slow down your recovery.
