2 Minute Vegan Chocolate Freak

August 18, 2008

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

* 2 cups Chocolate vegan soymilk (I like Silk)
* 2 Chocolate vegan frozen tofu “ice cream” bars OR 2 cups vegan chocolate “ice cream”
* 6-12 ice cubes (adjust for thickness preference)
* vegan toppings (optional)

Directions:

Place ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. (Use
more ice cubes if you like it thicker.) Pour into a BIG
glass or a couple of medium-sized ones. Add a nondairy
topping if you’re feeling REALLY decadent.

I love a thick shake , so I put mine in the freezer for a
few minutes while I am cleaning up my blender!

Note: If you like a “mocha” style..substitute Mocha Silk
for the chocolate.
