The title says it all in that it is a dream...tastes dreamy...dreamy creamy drink and my new favorite special treat ...I didn't have the yogurt the first time so I used tofu and sweetened it first with honey and vanilla...made for a thicker shake that way (but almost too thick to drink w/ out a spoon)...got the yogurt the next time and loved it ...a perfect dream (better than the best chocolate milk memory from childhood)...now I have more yogurt and I am very excited 'cause I found chocolate soy to try it with !!! (Have to note to definitely include the nutritional yeast it adds to the flavors dramatically and will not disappoint you)... ps... {{I've been playing with it more too...yesterday (inspired by the spoon idea) I made a big batch as "ice dream" used a block of tofu added date and nut and seed "chips&chunks" & some coconut butter to add more body... also some cinnamon and chili spices - than put it in the freezer to hide it from myself {{{lol}}} - I have to try to enforce some self control with this one I hope it will help me in my journey away from real ice cream- or at least trick me on the way }}} This potion is a dream come true - (it has also inspired my to add cocoa and nut flavors to my spinach drinks) LOVE-love-LOVE it ...Thanks for sharing the dreams Sharon - DE-LISH!!!
