While obviously more scientific, this reminds me of the "pep-up" drink everyone used in the 1970s.

    Adelle Davis created a breakfast drink she dubbed “Pep-Up.” Here is a recipe from her multi-million-copy-selling 1954 classic: Let’s Eat Right To Keep Fit. 1 quart skim, low fat, or whole milk, preferably medically certified raw 1 teaspoon to ½ cup yeast (depending on whether you are a beginner or a veteran yeast fan) ¼ to ½ cup powdered milk (not instant) 1 tablespoon soy, peanut, or safflower oil or mixed vegetable oils ½ teaspoon magnesium oxide 1 tablespoon granular lecithin (more if blood cholesterol is above 180 milligrams per 100 cc.) 1 or 2 eggs, as desired ½ cup frozen, undiluted orange juice or ½ cup apricot nectar or grape juice or ½ banana or 3 or 4 tablespoons chunk pineapple or frozen berries or any strong-flavored fruit Stir or blend together and drink
It actually worked very well.
