Hi friends 
Kind of feeling like I got ran over by a truck this morning, so I stayed home from work. I don’t know what’s up, as I never – NEVER – get sick! 
I made a Green Monster (yay, it’s back) to help rejuvenate myself – hopefully it will be a nice pick me up.
In the mix:
- 1/4 cup old fashioned oats
- 1 T almond butter
- 1 cup skim milk
- 2 handfuls baby spinach
- 1 frozen banana
- handful of ice
- frozen mango chunks
Frozen mango makes everything better, in my opinion!
I’m going to go crash on the couch and try and get some work done. No rest for the weary!

What’s your favorite “sick” food?
I’m old school – chicken soup for the soul, baby.
Feel better darlin! that green monster is bound to help
My husband and I have to have orange juice when we’re sick. That, and the egg drop soup from a specific Chinese restaurant in Waukee.
I tend to want chicken noodle soup when I’m sick, too. I hope you feel better soon! There’s some nasty stuff going around.
fav sick food? its sad, but probably salteens. i never eat crackers really unless i am sick, and something about the salt and crunch makes me feel better.
oh and gatorade or gingerale … my only excuse to drink something besides water is when i am sick haha
i like the first meal after getting over sickness, it always tastes so goooood to eat something tasty after not being able to hold anything down haha. i still remember the bagel i ate after being sick for 2 weeks straight, best bagel i ever ate
I’m home sick from school, too! And chuggin’ the chicken noodle soup as well, hehe
hope you feel better soon!!! take care!
That stinks! I hope you feel better!
I’m definitely with you on the soup! Hands down the best sick food!
Feel better soon love!
Ick, you have the crud, too?
I am all about the chicken soup, I really do think the broth helps so many symptoms.
Hope you feel better very quickly!!!
Hope you get to feeling better. Being sick is never fun.
grits!
Feel better soon.
I always crave chicken soup and ice cream when I’m sick! I hope you feel better!
soup is always good for me, too.
i hope you feel better!
I love burnt toast for my stomach when I’m not feeling my best. I’ve heard burnt toast and green tea is best for that kind of feeling
Hope you feel better, soup is always a winner!
Mango actually makes me feel better too!
It feels like it settles my stomache.. and its the perfect sweetness!
Also, candied ginger, and PURE chocolate brownie bars.. when i am vioently ill, PURE bars are my hero.. they are the only thing I can digest!
Feel better, pretty girl!
I just have to “thank you” for the Green Monster! I finally tried it and love it and got several of my friends to as well and they love it too! =) Laura

Feel better. My husband despises chicken noodle soup, so he always gets chicken tortilla soup when he’s sick. Basically the same thing amped up with veggies and some cumin and chili powder!
I love the color of your green monster! When I’m sick, I drink lots of tea and eat lots of soup. Then, when I feel a little better, I go with comfort food like mac and cheese. Hope you feel better soon!
I love frozen mango in smoothies – SO good (esp. since I’m not a big banana fan – the mango adds the sweet creaminess bananas can add, except with a tropical flair!)
I hope you feel better! I’ve been a mess lately – I don’t feel sick really, but I’ve just been achy and currently stomach-achy. Maybe it’s the changing of the seasons? Just go for lots of liquids and rest!
This remedy will sound terribly strange, I know, but an ex-boyfriend of mine swore by it and when I finally tried it, it actually worked! Wanna know the secret?
Warm orange juice.
Sounds gross. Yes. But I swear its not that bad & it works!
Feel better! My favorite sick food? I don’t know if I have a favorite because I usually only eat these foods when I’m sick…but I’ll say Sprite and saltine crackers.
Someday I WILL try the green monster… so many bloggers drink them regularly!
My favorite “go-to sick food”? I’m with you! Chicken noodle soup OR I also love tomato soup (but only in the winter!). Hope you feel better soon, get some rest!
feel better kristin!
Great green smoothie!!! I really must try putting oats in my morning smoothies. Does it give them better staying power?
My favorite sick food is definitely buttered toast, saltines, and soup.
I hope you feel better!
Question… I made the breakfast cookie… I was so excited this morning to try it but when I got it out of the fridge, it was still really mushy. Are they supposed to be mushy?
FEEL BETTER!!! Being sick is the worst
I always crave a bread bowl from Panera when I am sick. Odd cravings, but it sooths the soul!
Hope you feel better girl! Mine is chicken noodle soup also:)
Awww feel better lady!!! I don’t really have a “sick” food. Maybe cereal?
i finally started adding rice milk etc back to my GM..so much better than just water, but I ws trying to get like uber healthy with it.
I really hope you feel better, that’s just no fun.
My favorite sick food is always anything my mommy makes for me! Seriously, why does food always taste better when a mom is involved?
my favorite sick food is chicken noodle soup too
Frozen mango totally does make everything better. I love mixing it with vanilla hemp protein in my smoothies:)
