I drink lunch most days. Unfortunately for me, not in the tradition of mad men. We bought a Magic Bullet in texas on the recommendation of someone. Can't remember who. I find it is awesome for shakes and smoothies of the single serving variety- it is easy to clean, easy to judge the right amounts of stuff you want to blend as opposed to bigger blenders. But as I am on a less not more kick (you'd be hard pressed to discern this from my apple tablet cravings) you can do this recipe with you reg'lar olde blender.

Almonds- about as many as you can hold in the palm of your hand.
Ginger syrup (cook water, sugar and ginger in a pan for awhile)- if you don't have just throw some damn ginger in there already. Good lord, people why you sweating me? You really want me to hibernate again on this here new blog? Is that what you WANT?????
Water or fruit juice- just enough to barely cover the almonds.

Blend this until the almonds are almost like peanut butter.

Add a Banana.
Add some frozen fruit. I like Mangos but the frozen mixed berries from Costco are good antioxidants.
Add some more water or fruit juice.

Blend until smooth.

I have found this totally levels out my post surf crash and keeps me going until I need some snack mid-afternoon. Be sure to drink a big glass of water with it! Hydrate, hydrate, okay! (for all you non-hippies that is a dr bronner label reference thrown in for good measure).
