This fruit smoothie can soothe the stomach and the throat whatever stage your flu is at. It is cold and thick, almost like a milkshake, but without the clagginess. Depending on how much liquid you prefer, it can be treated like ice cream -- a godsend when the temperature is high both inside and out -- or as a drink.
