Trust me when I say that I make a lot of chocolate shakes- loads of them. They're the perfect excuse to get chocolate in your breakfast. Basically, it's dessert for breakfast, and we can be proud of it too. Mmmmm.
After lots of experimenting, I have come up with this recipe and it is perfect for making a thick, creamy shake that is intensely flavorful and still super healthy.

On another (less yummy) note, school started for me this week and I have been a bit more busy than normal trying to bet back into the mindset of school work and pack for my senior class's 6-day hiking trip next week (woohoo!). I'm starting the year off trying to be more efficient with my work and also making time to run on the treadmill, read, watch movies, play with the dogs, work on college applications, and cook. I am going to continue working as hard as I can on producing content for this blog that I can be proud of and that I would love to read. The point I'm trying to get at is that my blogging may seem a bit more sporadic than normal for the next few weeks, but I ask you to bear with me because great, exciting things are coming to Tofu For Thought.
I hope you're enjoying a lovely end to the summer (or end of the winter), and can spend some time outside as the seasons change and the weather gets more tame. Oh, and be sure to have some of this chocolate shake, just because. I know you won't regret it.
