¼ cup almond butter

1 ½ cups to 2 cups unsweetened vanilla almond milk or water

blender

Cooking instruction summary:

Instructions In a blender, combine all of the ingredients. Blend on low until the blender gains traction, then ramp up to the highest speed as soon as possible (or if your blender has a smoothie function, that will work great). Stop to scrape down the sides or add more milk if necessary. Once the smoothie is completely smooth and creamy, taste it and blend in maple syrup if youd like a sweeter smoothie. Divide the smoothie into 2 glasses. Serve immediately!

Food Joke

An Irishman is sitting at the end of a bar. He sees a lamp at the end of the table. He walks down to it and rubs it. Out pops a genie. It says, "I will give you three wishes." The man thinks awhile. Finally he says, "I want a beer that never is empty." With that, the genie makes a poof sound and on the bar is a bottle of beer. The Irishman starts drinking it and right before it is gone, it starts to refill. The genie asks about his next two wishes. The man says, "I want two more of these."
