Don't like the taste of milk? Looking for some way to make it taste better and make it healthier? Why not try a smoothie?
The basics for a smoothie are milk, bananas and some fruit. The bananas help to thicken it up. The fruit helps to sweeten it.
2 cups of milk
1 banana
1 cup of fruit (mangoes, pineapple, strawberries, peaches, etc. Fresh or frozen.)
1 tsp Vanilla (optional)
Place the ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth.
You can add blueberries, but they will thicken the smoothie. Try it. Add a cup of blueberries, blend and let stand 10 minutes. It will have the consistency of yoghurt. Not too worry! Just stir and it will liquefy again. Apparently, blueberries contain a lot of soluble fibre - most of that in the form of pectin. Under acidic conditions (say the vitamin C from the mangoes or pineapple) pectin gels. You can use milk substitutes as well. I happen to be partial to rice drinks (liek Rice Dream) - buy the fortified ones. They are a little bit chalky tasting at first, but they have the advantage (at least for me) of not leaving me with curdled milk breath (I also snore more if I consume dairy before going to bed. sigh. No more warm glasses of milk with honey before bed.

"Revolt can take many forms. And here we have three specific instances. Youth with its enthusiasm which rebels against any accepted norm - because it must and we sympathise. It may wear flowers in its hair and bells on its toes but when the common good is threatened - when the function of society is endangered such revolt must cease. It is non-productive and must be abolished." "The accused has been charged with the most serious breach of social etiquette - total defiance of the elementary laws which sustain our community - questioning the decision of those elected to govern us - unhealthy habits of speech and dress not in accordance with general practice - and refusal to observe, wear or respond to his number." Taken from The Prisoner episode 'Fall Out' You can watch a clip from which these dialogues are taken from. I warn you, it is a bit wierd.

Salads should be palatable without having to add oil or other fatty dressings to help it down the gullet. This salad is moist, tasty and fat free. - 2-3 tomatoes
- 1 tin of French cut beans
- salt
- pepper
- dice the tomatoes
- drain the green beans
- season the tomatoes
- mix in the green beans
Variations are very easy for this salad. Additional seasoning variations: - garlic
- green onions
- chives
- cilantro
- dill
- parmesan / romano
- anything you might like
You also don't have to limit yourself to French cut beans, baby corn, mushrooms, chopped celery, bits of cheese, etc can also be added. Below is a tomato salad with French cut beans and baby corn. 
You could season it with vinegar or lemon / lime juice if you are so inclined, but I don't think it needs it.
