Here is a sweet fluid for your next bone-bolstering breakfast...

Honey Ginger Plum Smoothie
Add the following to your mixer of choice...
Makes 2 healthy servings

1 1/2 c milk of your choice
2 purple plums, pitted
1/2 orange, peeled
1 tbsp honey
1 tsp fresh or frozen minced ginger
1 tsp cardamom
1 tsp vanilla extract
5-6 ice cubes 

To savor this in sundae form, combine everything but the milk and vanilla in the blender/mixer for a rough chop and then use it as a topping for your vanilla fro-yo or ice cream.  Sprinkler a few pistachios (sans the shells) on top and you've got your sundae... Hooray for versatility... -A
