Notes:

I adapted to what I had at home from what is listed on page 3 of this online article on the 7 New Super Foods (http://bit.ly/IWKKtH) which All Vegan. All Delish. had posted on their FB profile.

I used:

1 cup almond milk;

1 cup ice;

1/4 cup blueberries (they suggested mango, but I am using chocolate too, and I don't think it would taste good, some people like cherries or raspberries with chocolate, just choose what you like);

1/2 cup raw (un-roasted) cashews (or walnuts or whatever you have on hand);

2 TBSP Honey or Agave; 2-3 TBSP Matcha green tea powder;

1 container tofu almond dessert (1/2 of the 2 pack, I used sunrise brand, looks like this (http://bit.ly/K7RM2t Thanks to Calgary Reviews, http://www.flickr.com/photos/calgaryreviews/ for the photo), which you can get at SuperStore in Halifax, NS I found it in the deli section where other tofu and meat substitutes are found);

1/4 cup Hemp Hearts;

1/4 cup shaved dark chocolate.

Method:

Blend until smooth. Top with more chocolate shavings and hemp hearts. Enjoy
