NUTTY BANANA SHAKE
This rich drink makes a filling breakfast. For a superb eggnog, add orange zest and rum, brandy, or bourbon. Before buying bananas, read about their production in "Must-Buy Organics," on page 16\. If you like nondairy milk, then blending your own nut milk, as described in this recipe, is much more economical than buying it premade. And unlike store-bought nut milk, it comes without added sugar, preservatives, and hard-to-recycle cartons. Homemade nut milk works beautifully for cereal, smoothies, baking, and simply drinking on its own.

Steps:
- If you are making your own almond milk, drain the almonds, then place them in a blender with 3 cups water and blend until the almonds are completely pulverized, about 1 minute. Pour the milk through a fine-mesh strainer, using a ladle to press the liquid from the almonds. You should end up with 3 cups of almond milk.
- Rinse out the blender, then pour in the almond milk. Add all of the remaining ingredients and blend until smooth. Serve at room temperature or chilled. Or, for a colder drink, blend in a few ice cubes and serve immediately.
