   When you’re recovering from a hangover, hydration is key. Coconut water and green tea work together to replenish fluids and electrolytes, helping to combat dehydration and restore balance.

   Blueberries are loaded with antioxidants, while ginger and cinnamon reduce inflammation and help soothe your stomach. This blend of ingredients will help calm your body and support recovery.
3. Gut Support
   The Greek yogurt in this smoothie is packed with probiotics to promote gut health, which is especially important after a night of drinking. It helps restore balance in your digestive system and supports overall wellness.
