Anna's Get-well-soon smoothie

So,  you know how you know you're sick when you feel like youv'e had a love tap from a compact car? I got that feeling approximately an hour before my shift ended. Naturally, I got home and wanted nothing more than to go to bed. But by this time my stomach was hurting from lack of  food, so I figured I should eat something.

So, you know how when you have a sore throat you don't feel like eating anything that isn't cold and of a silky-smooth creaminess reminiscent of a baby's behind? So I thought, "smoothie!"

It was a good idea for my brain being so congested it felt approximately the consistency of cotton fluff. It was also good, for having it made up on the spot of sick foods and whatever sounded good. 

So I'm sharing!

1 vanilla greek yogurt (has all the protein to make up for the food you don't want to eat, plus happy tummy enzymes)
1 bannana (because you can fix most ailments with a bannana, including the one where your smoothie lacks creaminess and thickness)
1/2 to 1 cup oragne juice (vitamin C, use to preference)
10 ice cubes (for coldness)
1 tbsp honey (honey = good for sore throats)
1 cup brewed ginger tea (ancient chinese secret for delicious that somehow makes you feel better)

Makes about 2-3

Blend all ingredients until they are the desired aforementioned creaminess. 

PS: Airborne or somesuch could be added for extra immunity. Or, dredge up an Odwalla C monster. So much vitamin C you won't be sick for a month. 

Gold star for slightly inappropriate metaphors.
