Oatmeal

The morning after overindulging, give your stomach a break. Wait until you're hungry and then start with a fiber-rich breakfast such as oatmeal to get your digestive system in gear. Choose flavors that will stimulate your taste buds without causing sensory overload. Adding diced fruit will add a boost of antioxidants and the high water content will help with rehydration.

Plus it adds a sweet flavor to the Greek-style yogurt and tangy fruit! A sprinkle of chopped nuts adds energy-boosting protein and vitamin B6, which also may ease hangover symptoms as well!
