    In the Philippines, this pale green drink is made with condensed milk. Here, soy milk and a dash of fresh lime juice turn it into a lively breakfast smoothie. It's particularly recharging after a morning workout. Asian food stores sell palm sugar, as do some supermarkets (check the Thai food section), though you can substitute brown sugar.
