What can you eat when you have strep?
Strep throat is a common bacterial infection that causes inflammation and pain in the throat. Suffering from strep can put you in a vulnerable position as it restricts your normal food intake. We understand that finding the right things to eat under these circumstances can be quite challenging, but worry not! Here are some suggestions for foods you could consume when infected with strep.
Milkshakes and Smoothies
If your throat feels sore or inflamed, cold milkshakes or smoothies could help soothe the discomfort. Dairy products contain casein protein which helps relieve inflammation while boosting the immune system (nobody wants their cells looking left behind) A delicious mix of frozen berries, honey, ice cream (or alternative vegan options), almond butter and coconut milk would provide both nourishment and refreshing relief during this crucial period (it’s like taking an Oreo break without having to dip anything!)
Ingredients
- Frozen berries
- Honey
- Icecream / Vegan substitute
- Almond Butter
- Coconut Milk
Soup
Soup is readily available in most households and is easily digestible even with a torn up throat. Vegetable soup/ broth contains essential minerals such as potassium which aids nerve cell function along with vitamins necessary for your body’s growth (we all wanna grow up strong together). Split pea soup is also great if prepared well because it contains Vitamin B1 that boosts energy levels while supporting brain focus. Be sure to take care regarding temperature by allowing soups 30 minutes cooling time before consumption so they don’t unwittingly add livid irritation to any pre-existing inflammations.
Recommended Soups/Broths
- Vegetables’ brothy goodness
Specific recommendations:
- Tomato soup: High vitamin C content will give our bodies’ antioxidant power an intentional boost.
2) Chicken Noodles Or Minestrone: These soups are not only nourishing but they also help reduce nasal mucus which is ideal if you’re experiencing cold like symptom (we do not need any additional complications!)
3) Carrot Ginger Soup – The ginger will give a natural sore throat relief.
Protein Shake
Protein shakes have been reportedly useful to hangry lunchers’ power up during workouts, so why shouldn’t it come in handy while healing from strep? They’re easy to prepare and digestible. Furthermore, essential amino acids found in protein help build strong muscles and bones-whip out your inner warrior! If you’re a vegetarian or vegan (no judgement), ensure the composition of the shake includes enough plant- based proteins with hemp seeds containing all nine necessary amino acid mixtures for muscle growth-(hempens pride?)
Ingredients
- Whey Protein powder
- Hemp Seeds/ Flaxseed
- Chia Seed
- Banana
- Almond Milk
Greek Yogurt With Berries
Greek yogurt contains probiotics that aid gut function by providing “good bacteria.” This could effectively counteract any digestive problems triggered by antibiotics prescribed during treatment (let’s neutralize this problem-floored two birds with one immune-system replenished stone!)
Ingredients:
- Strawberries/Berries/ mixed berries
- Honey(optional)
Ice Cream
When you hear someone say there’s no better cure than ice cream, well buddy-maybe not entirely false You can scoop away a challenging day of throat pain with some scoops of ice cream or frozen yoghurt. Disclaimer-you might be left feeling guilty afterwards as sugar consumption may slow down the immune system… Cautionary tale tells us that our mouths should stay clear of icy cold treat just before bed when liquid has chances accumulate at back of our throats due to more horizontal sleeping position(which we don’t need more of)
Suggested Flavors :
1) Vanilla
2) Chocolate
3) Wildberry – we merited a fruit flavor!
Conclusion
We hope you have found this helpful as strep treatment is an urgent health concern. Remember, every individual’s body is unique, so precautions should be taken and followed what your doctor prescribes.Guidelines provide by researchers suggest that if consuming either hot or cold liquids, try drinking out of straws to avoid further throat irritation (straw demand on the horizons?)
In conclusion:
– Milkshakes and smoothies are easy for consumption
– Soup hydrates as it adds nutrients
– Protein shakes give extended energy
– Greek yogurt counters digestive issue triggered by antibiotics.
– Ice cream serves a melting relief but with caution.
Stay safe and remember these suggestions(or not) when next you feel like embarking on a carelessly spicy sushi night!
