¼ cup almond butter

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

1 to 2 teaspoons maple syrup, if necessary (I usually don't need it)

Equipment:

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!

When taken in large doses nutmeg works as a hallucinogen.

Food Joke

Mother Teresa dies and of course goes directly to heaven. God greets her and asks her, "After you get familiar with this place, how about we have dinner together?" "I would love to eat dinner with you!" Later that evening they meet up for dinner and she takes a seat at the dining room table. God is in the kitchen and starts preparing a very simple meal: one can of tuna fish and some crackers. Through some cracks in the floor, Mother Teresa looks down at Hell; she sees fire and red hot flames with hundreds of thousands of people, and they are dining on lobster, fine wine, chocolate cakes, steaks, pancakes, row after row of fine food. Mother Teresa can't help but ask, "God, look at how they're eating down there. Shouldn't we be dining even better than Hell? You are just serving canned tuna and crackers..." God says, "Well, I figure since it's just the two of us, why cook?"
