Welcome to Day #5 of chocolate and vegetable theme week. I know I lost some of you here. Just in case you all thought I ate nothing but unhealthy sugar-filled chocolate 24 x 7, I make vanilla versions of these veggie blender shakes once or twice a week.

My apologies to Jay Robb for the reflections on the scanned image of your package. This happens when packaging and labels are shiny.

Digression: My two cats love the vanilla frozen vegetable shakes. (I don't feed them the chocolate version of this shake as dogs and cats apparently are not able to handle/metabolize chocolate well.) The cats used to sprint out of the kitchen when I turned on the blender, due to the loud noise. But, now that they know what I'm making, they run into the kitchen, to beg for a little taste of green shake in their food dish. Who knew?
