Executive Chef Alexander La Motte of Four Seasons Hotel Westlake Village, California, suggests adding almond milk and flaxseed for sustained energy. “If you really want the all-around perfect boost, a smoothie with fresh fruit, whole grain and protein-rich almonds makes a great midday pick-me-up,” he says.
