Morning Sickness Mender Shake

Having morning sickness? Try this smoothie from "The Ultimate Book of Smoothies" by Cherie Calbom. It is very thin and helps when you can't keep much down. It includes ginger root, which helps an upset stomach (this is why I have always considered ginger ale to be a miracle drug). The mint helps with digestion.

*If you use fruit juices, try to find ones with low or no sugar.

Recipe:

1 1/2 cups apple juice (3 apples juiced)
1/2 lemon, juiced
1 to 2 inch chunk of gingerroot, juiced or grated
8 fresh mint leaves
6 ice cubes

Pour the apple, lemon and ginger juices into a blender and add the mint and ice. Blend on high speed until smooth and serve immediately.

Try it out and let me know what you think!
