Chocolate Smoothie Recipes

Chocolate Coffee Smoothie: Add half a teaspoon of instant coffee before blending.

Black Forest: Instead of yogurt, substitute six ounces of frozen cherries. If not buying the fruit already pitted, be sure to remove the pits prior to blending.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie: Blend in two tablespoons of peanut butter, powdered peanut butter, or almond butter for a rich and decadent chocolate shake.

Nutella Smoothie: Follow the steps for the chocolate peanut butter shake above, substituting the nut butter for store bought or Homemade Nutella.

Chocolate Strawberry: Instead of vanilla yogurt, use strawberry yogurt and add one or two frozen chopped strawberries. Or make a blueberry version with blueberry yogurt and a small handful of frozen blueberries.

Chocolate Banana Smoothie: For an added sugar free smoothie, use a ripe frozen banana as your sweetener of choice. This will also yield a thicker smoothie.

Tropical Smoothie: Use canned coconut milk as your milk of choice and six ounces frozen mango or banana instead of the yogurt.

Chocolate Green Smoothie: Add a handful of fresh spinach or kale. Or blend in up to a fourth cup of frozen spinach or greens of choice.

Chocolate Vegan Smoothie

Chocolate protein smoothie recipe

Even when prepared without protein powder, this healthy chocolate shake packs in up to twelve grams of protein.

To make an even higher protein morning meal or healthy snack, feel free to add a scoop of your favorite chocolate, vanilla, birthday cake, or other flavor protein powder.

Depending on the brand and type of protein powder you use, the protein smoothie can have over twenty five grams of protein!

Adding a spoonful of peanut butter or a sprinkle of nutritious chia seeds or flax seeds will also up the fiber and protein in the recipe.

Use leftover protein powder for Protein Brownies

Yogurt Smoothie Ingredients

Healthy chocolate smoothie ingredients

You will need unsweetened cocoa powder or chocolate protein powder, milk of choice, vanilla yogurt, your favorite sweetener, a pinch of salt, and optional peanut butter, cashew butter, tahini, or almond butter.

The recipe does not call for adding any ice cubes, and I recommend not using any. Ice dilutes the richness of the chocolate flavor.

Measurements for the sweetener will depend on whether you are using sweetened or unsweetened yogurt and milk, as well as your own personal tastebuds and what type of sweetener you choose.

For a recipe made with unsweetened milk and yogurt, I like to add around two or three teaspoons of pure maple syrup or unrefined sugar. You can use pretty much any all purpose sweetener here, so go with your favorite.

Chocolate breakfast shake

Turn the recipe into a filling breakfast option by adding one to two tablespoons of quick or old fashioned rolled oats.

Blend the oats until their texture resembles that of flour. Then add all remaining ingredients, and blend again. Aside from the added fiber and protein, adding oatmeal is also a great way to make the smoothie even thicker.

Healthy Chocolate Shake

How to make a chocolate smoothie

Combine the yogurt, milk, cocoa powder or protein powder, salt, optional nut butter, and sweetener in a blender. Blend until thick and smooth.

Pour the drink into a tall glass. Or use a mason jar if you wish to be fancy.

You can also turn it into a chocolate smoothie bowl. Top the bowl with granola, mini chocolate chips, shredded coconut, raspberries, two ingredient Chocolate Truffles, or sliced bananas and homemade Coconut Whipped Cream.

Chocolate Milkshake Trick: If you have a high speed blender like a Vitamix and want to make an even thicker smoothie, pour the milk into an ice cube tray and freeze it ahead of time. Once frozen, pop out the frozen milk ice cubes and blend them along with the other ingredients to make a super thick chocolate smoothie.

Chocolate Yogurt Drink

Vegan and keto options

To make a vegan chocolate smoothie, use nondairy yogurt and plant based milk. I like almond milk, oat milk, soy milk, or canned coconut milk.

For a keto chocolate smoothie with no sugar, use either sugar free vanilla yogurt or plain Greek yogurt. If using an unsweetened yogurt, add a fourth teaspoon of pure vanilla extract and adjust the sweetener to suit your tastes. Keto sugar replacements include allulose, xylitol, or stevia.

In addition to being vegan and low carb, the healthy recipe can also be soy free, gluten free, dairy free, egg free, nut free, low fat, and low calorie.

Chocolate milkshake or smoothie?

The difference between a milkshake and a smoothie is that ice cream is the main ingredient in milkshakes, while smoothies blend ingredients like fruit, yogurt, milk, and sometimes greens, avocado, and vegetables or fruit juice.

Smoothies are usually much healthier than milkshakes due to their traditional lower sugar and fat content and the addition of more nutritious ingredients.

A milkshake is more often served as a dessert, whereas a fruit smoothie with yogurt can also make a great healthy breakfast or snack.

    I’ve recently cut out dairy for breastfeeding, but have had a serious need for chocolate in my life. This is where you come in! I have a list of to-make recipes now to get me through afternoon sugar cravings!
    Anyway, my favorite green vegetable is broccoli! Or spinach. Or kale. Or asparagus…

    • Mackenzie says

      I had to go dairy free for the same reason! It is hard not to fall off the wagon, especially when my son’s dairy sensitivity was extreme (i.e. I had to read labels to make sure there weren’t any trace amounts of hidden dairy anywhere!) Kudos to you, I wish I had found this blog while I was strictly dairy free, even though the only thing I still eat that is dairy is cheese now…

  2. Steph says

    I love spinach! It’s great with anything savory and also in juices! I think I’d use the powder in my late night snack shakes so I don’t eat anything TOO heavy close to bed 😉

  3. Rachel says

    Fav green vegetable is probably green beans — cause they are delicious raw or cooked:) Although I like all green veggies…

    Ps. “Way greater than” math symbol is: >> As in, chocolate>>anything else 🙂

    • s says

      spinach is probably my favorite green!

      and yeah rachel’s got it on the math symbol thing 🙂 the ‘way greater than’ symbol is one of my favorites … especially when used in ridiculous ways like orange juice >> life.

  4. kaity says

    broccoli and peas! yumm and id use this in my smoothies every morning def would love some extra chocolate! and even try them in some desserts, my fam could use a lil extra boost of vegetables:-)

  5. Rebecca W. says

    My favorite green veggie would have to be okra…i don’t think it would taste very good in a smoothie through :(.
    I would love to try this stuff out! Chocolate AND veggie nutrition…thats just too great to pass up!

  6. Suzanne Wirth says

    I have to admit, I don’t usually fall short in the green veggie dept…LOVE lots of them. Of course, I’m not going to skip the chance to eat chocolate instead. 😉 However, for the purpose of this post, my favorite, currently, is spinach. 😀 Mostly because I just discovered a cookie shortbread recipe that uses spinach to turn the cookies green! Yes, you read that correctly. lol Gotta love St. Pat’s day! 😀 Oh ya, and GO CHOCOLATE! 😉

  7. sarah s says

    green smoothies made with spinach is tried and true for me, it works every time if i haven’t fit in enough veggies for the day!

  8. Aly says

    Aaaa! This looks delicious…it’s so hard to pick my favorite green vegetable, but I’ve always been madly in love with broccoli. Ever since I was little, I always loved the “trees”…it didn’t hurt that my dad always cooked them to perfection. Hope I win!

  9. jessica says

    favorite green? KALE of course 🙂 and i love kale in smoothies so much that i would PROBABLY add kale to the blender when i win this chocolate silk powder! well… hopefully, that is 😉

  10. Christina says

    My favorite is spinach. So versitile and healthy 🙂 And I’d use the Greens chocolate silk to make THIS green silk smoothie… and probably in every other smoothie! (You just cant go wrong with chocolate and greens 😉 ) Thanks Katie!

  11. alison says

    Broccoli is my fave! I would use this powder in the chocolate banana hemp milk smoothies I give my kids everyday.

  12. Ashley says

    Ooooh! It’s hard to pick my favourite green veggie! Lately it has been kale, but that changes all the time.

  13. Noora says

    My fave green veggie is definitely green peas. More specifically: frozen green peas. Give me a bag of those and it’ll be empty in a matter of minutes, I can’t help myself, I just love to munch them!

  14. Lynn in MD says

    I love spinach. I would love to try this powder too. My family is making the transition to heart healthy eating… so having chocolate/strawberry smoothies for dessert sounds wonderful!

  15. Sonja says

    Gotta say spinach is my favorite, as uncreative as that may be. I love me a big, leafy salad or steamed spinach – I use it in place of lettuce on bean burgers…and green smoothies are one of my favorite drinks! I’d definitely use some of the chocolate greens in a smoothie some time 🙂

  16. Katie says

    My favorite foods are green vegetables!! Although it’s a close close first after asparagus, bell peppers, and artichokes, my favorite is broccoli. IT IS DELICIOUS LITTLE TREES.

  17. Kira says

    Spinach!! Can’t get enough of it 🙂
    I would probably make this smoothie recipe but throw in a handful of spinach with it!
    And I could add that powder to just about anything 😉

  18. Shayna says

    Brussel sprouts or artichokes are my two favorite green vegetables! I haven’t heard of the chocolate silk before this, but it sounds delish in any smoothie 🙂

  19. Jenna says

    Favorite green veggies…roasted broccoli and cabbage with garlic and evoo!! Yum!! And just for kicks…I’d use the powder in my homemade hot chocolate 🙂

  20. Lisa K @ NutriNosh says

    My favorite green veggie is kale! My stepmom used to make kale and tomatoes routinely, and I would literally drink the leftover “broth” it was so good 🙂

    If I win the powder, I’ll probably use it in my morning smoothie or maybe even in my almond milk and banana ice “cream” 🙂

  21. Holly - InspirationBeauty says

    I love so many vegetables it’s hard to decide on my favourite!
    I love broccoli, spinach, brussell sprouts and many more!

    If I won this powder I would love to experiment with it! For example, in banana soft serve, oatmeal, bran, milkshakes and much more!

    Thanks for hosting the contest Katie!

  22. Stephanie @ Legally Blinde says

    That’s a tough question – I love a lot of green vegetables! I really enjoy perfectly cooked asparagus – that’s pretty much as good as it gets. Although I have been on a big spinach kick lately – it’s so versatile! I love it in huge salads, green smoothies, or sauteed and added to quiche, scrambled eggs, grain bowls… so many possibilities 🙂 Thanks for a great giveaway!

  23. Taylor says

    Spinach! I puree it and sneak it into chocolate cakes and brownies. It sounds gross, I know, but you’d really never even know it was there!

  24. Nadine says

    I’ve been looking for both a greens powder and a chocolate powder. Double win!
    how can anyone choose just one favorite green? I think I might have to choose cabbage. It’s a simple food, but such a yummy one. Cole slaw, cabbage soup, cabbage salad. We always have at least one cabbage in our fridge.

  25. Aggie says

    My favorite green veggie is kale. I put it in my smoothies every morning for breakfast and I love to fry it in a pan with garlic, onions, and mushrooms for lunch. If I won this powder I would use it to make my daughter smoothies because she doesn’t like the texture of the fresh fruits and veggies in her drinks.

  26. Amy says

    It’s hard to pick a favorite green veggie. It would have to be a tie between fresh green beans, spinach and steamed broccoli! I would definitely use this powder in my daily protein drinks! I have been trying to get healthy again after a really tough year and some days I do great with getting enough veggies and other days I fall short a little. I have been following your blog for several months now since finding your chocolate chip cookie dough recipe on pinterest (my kids love that recipe by the way). You do great work and I love reading your posts 🙂

  27. Monique says

    hmm, favorite green veggie. . . that’s a tough one. If I had to pick just one it would be peas of any sort. Love my green foods <3

  28. Krissi says

    I love peas because I was never allowed to have them growing up (mom was allergic) so now they are like my forbidden veggie 🙂

  29. Jessie says

    Broccoli, or raw spinach! Or asparagus, edamame, kale… Too many faves!
    I’d definitely add the powder to a green smoothie. Veggie overkill 🙂

  30. Lucy says

    I love me some green bell peppers and cellery and collard greens and cucumbers also spinach! Im a kid in the candy store at the veggie aisle 🙂

  31. Michele says

    I love kale! It’s delicious, versatile, and adds bulk to pretty much any meal so my stomach doesn’t rumble in an hour 🙂

  32. Kate says

    I ADORE Kale, I love making kale chips and sauteed kale with lemon and garlic. My boyfriend never used to eat veggies but he loved the way I made Kale chips so much they became his “gateway” veggie and now he eats them all the time! I love making chocolate smoothies, I cannot emphasize this enough, they probably make my day if I make a really good one. Its funny because I basically made this exact recipe yesterday and would love to try it with the green’s chocolate silk!

  33. Kristy says

    Im like you Katie! I could eat vegetables all day long and still want more. I would have to say that Asparagus are my favorite if I had to chose. Especially roasted in coconut oil!
    The chocolate greens is interesting! I’d be curious how it would taste in a brownie. Adding veggies in a brownie mean less guilt and another bite right???

  34. Alicia Drew says

    On days I work a long day, I struggle to get all my veggies in, so coming home & enjoying one of these chocolate milkshakes would hit the spot, & help me reach my daily healthy guidelines.

  35. Alanna says

    My favorite green vegetable is green beans! My parents used to call me “the green bean girl”, haha (very original, I know!). I love broccoli, too, but it doesn’t love me back. :s

  36. Amanda says

    I’m not much for vegetables, but have worked harder at including them in my diet since our children arrived. (I have to “hide” the vegetables in other food so that I will eat them.) The winner of green veggies in this house is, hands down, green beans- but broccoli is a close runner up! (we usually steam the green beans and then do a quick saute in soy sauce and garlic- but we haven’t done that since our youngest was diagnosed with a milk and soy allergy. I’m thinking this mix is a new essential for this house!)
    I make smoothies every day for either breakfast or a snack for myself and my munchkins. My two (3 and 1) are pretty good about eating their broccoli, but I would LOVE to have another way to make sure that we are all getting our green veggie quota on a daily basis. (is the mix milk and soy free?) =)

  37. Sarah says

    I would love to have the opportunity to try this recipe as it was created! My favorite green is yummy broccoli!

  38. roselyn page says

    I have many favorite green veggies, and learning so much more to do with them. Today, actually, making barbeque zucchini. I would use the greens to make some of your delicious recipes you use it in. But, come on anything that is chocolate has to go good with peanut butter!!

  39. Debbie says

    There are so many I like. Not sure I have just one favorite. I really like asparagus, spinach, chard just to name a few. I would use this powder in my daily smoothies. Yummy!

  40. jessica rayne says

    My favorite green veggie is kale! Its tastey as is or prepared with just about anything. And soooo versatile! I have never seen this product before and am very interested in using it. Love your website. Thanks for all the hard work and time you put into it for all of us. 🙂

  41. Julie cleeland says

    Because I have a beautiful artichoke waiting to be enjoyed- I’m going with artichoke:) thank you for this opportunity!

  42. Mara says

    My favorite green vegetables are cucumber and broccoli, I love both of them!! And I would use this powder to give extra flavor to my daily breakfast coffee!

  43. Jocelyn says

    I use green’s powder on my yogurt every morning~ my fav green veggie is barbecued green zucchini! one of the reasons I love summer.

  44. Rosi Shepard says

    Barleans Chocolate silk is needed in my life! My 2 boys 2 and 5 are so picky it’s awful. I am forever using your recipes on them to sneak those veggies in. Thank you so much for making yummy healthy recipes. We will be sipping shamrock shakes again today (your rendition of course). Thank you!

  45. Cassondra says

    My favorite vegetable is bell peppers- delicious 🙂 If I were to try this powder I would love to experiment adding it to my daily morning protein shake!!

  46. Chelsea says

    Favorite green veggie??? Now, I think that may be a hard one. There are so many that I like. Right now I am really into any roasted veggie but, broccoli and kale I think might be my favs!

  47. Mackenzie says

    My favorite veggie is Kale or spinach! I am addicted to kale chips, and I love putting spinach into smoothies so I can sneak a little extra serving of veggies into my son’s diet, Thanks for providing all these healthy dessert recipes so I don’t feel so guilty every time I cave and let Ian have a “dessert” as a mid day snack!

  48. Andrea B. says

    Does it count if it’s only green on the outside?? If so then I’m totally rocking the kabocha squash!

    Of course if not, it’s a toss up between broccoli and green beans. Mmmmmmmmm.

  49. Elizabeth Rivera says

    My top 2 green veggies are broccoli & peas, both good alone or thrown into a salad. I would love to try this as I am not big on breakfast & have been wanting to try some sort of shake in the mornings!!

  50. Kim says

    Been on a major spinach kick lately making Green Monster Smoothies. I have tried other Barlean’s products before & liked, this would be great for my kiddos to supplement (as well as myself & the hubby too!)

  51. Lindsay says

    I need this powder! I struggle to get my veggies in so this would be perfect for me! I’d definitely use it to make smoothies.

  52. Shelby Heffernan says

    My favorite green vegetable would have to be roasted green beans!!! I would use the powder to make delicious smoothies!!

  53. Mona says

    My favorite green veggies are baby spinach!
    They taste so sweet for a green, and they’re awesome as a salad topped with fresh fruit, like strawberries and grapes. 🙂

  54. Erin says

    I would use this to make smoothies for my kids. It’s hard sneaking any veggies in anything, but this might do the trick!

  55. Korryn O'Neill says

    I am venturing out into the healthy baking life. I recently bought ground flax for the first time to make in some of your recipes, like chocolate chip blondes (yum!). I would love to try to add more greens in my diet via this powder. Thanks, Katie!

  56. Grati says

    I´d really love this because….i don´t really like a lot of greens:( Very few and have no idea how to cook them in varied ways and make them better…
    With this giveaway i´d start by making this ¨chocolate soup¨:)) and afterwards i´d try to invents some other delicious smoothies as well….
    As for favourite greens….does cabbage count?This is one veggie that i truly love.And broccoli is up next….
    p.s For all the veggie lovers posting here,could you give some more ideas about how to cook veggies and make them really delicious? (you favourite recipes i mean,i know there are a ton of recipes on the interner,not the same tho)

    • Sondra says

      Spinach is awesome when sauteed in olive oil with fresh minced garlic and/or a little onion and spritzed with lemon juice.

      Carrots-I love VeganDads cajun carrots- carrots cooked with agave (he uses maple syrup) a little cayenne and thyme and topped with pecans.

      If you like asian food get yourself some good Five Spice and fry up basically any veggie with a little bit of that and than either soy sauce or rice vinegar (depending if you want a dark or tangy taste)

      Roasting veggies with rosemary, garlic, and a pat of earth balance or olive oil in tinfoil is good (usually I do a mixture and put them in at 375 checking after 10-15 minutes)

      Asparagus and broccolli are to die for grilled (even on an indoor griddle). Peppers and tomatoes are awseome if you brush them with olive oil, put them on high broil and watch carefully for the skin to blacken, then remove from oven and put under an inverted bowl (this roasts them and then steams them to remove the skin.)

      If you like the taste of umami, add a bottle of Umeboshi Plum Vinegar to your repertoire. A couple of drops added to any basic salad dressing gives veggies an addictive quality. (I like taking a bit of juice from a sushi ginger jar mixing it with a few drops of plum vinegar, and pouring it over my salad with toasted sesame seeds and chowmein noodles)

      One more tip- everything tastes good curried. Get yourself a jar of Thai Kitchen Green Curry Paste, a bit of Curry Powder and always keep some thick unsweetened coconut milk on hand- these 3 ingredients plus a tomato base (tomato paste if you have it on hand, but I’ve cheated and used ketchup with okay results) can take any veggie or veggie dish from blah to TA-DA!

      I hope I helped!

  57. Becca Lewis says

    My absolute favourite green vegetable is spinach because you can eat it in salad, blend it in a smoothie or put in on a sandwich. Yum!

  58. Ann says

    This looks delicious!!
    I would use this at least once a day- I’m drinking boosted smoothies for at least one meal a day, but MAN is it expensive! 🙂
    I am allergic to almost all raw fruits and veggies so my repertoire is limited, to say the least…I come in under my recommended amount nearly every day (although I am having WAY more than I ever did as a kid!) This would be a perfect supplement to help me get there every day!
    🙂

  59. Stacia says

    The only green vegetable I like is green beans but I do LOVE chocolate so this might be just the thing I need 🙂

  60. Kate says

    Kale and Spinach
    Edamame is green, so if it counts then its up there too!
    Today I am going to try some blanched beet leaves (with roasted beets) so we’ll see how that turns out.

    Maybe I would try putting the chocolate greens in my oatmeal, pancakes, or smoothies.

  61. Jessica Eagle says

    Hi, my favorite food is greens, so I have lots of favorite. But I particularly like and enjoy greens such as kale, brocoli and all kind of lettuce. First, I would probably try your suggestion, in your hot chocolate cookie and then I’ll see.
    Have a nice day and thank you for giving us that opportunity to win.
    Jessica 🙂

  62. Carol L says

    This smoothie looks awesome and I’d really like to give this product a try!
    My favorite green veggie is roasted asparagus with a touch of toasted sesame oil.

  63. Courtney says

    Broccoli has to be my favorite green vegetable. It’s funny how there’s a stereotype that children are repulsed by broccoli, and yet my brother and I have always loved it. My mom always complained we ate too much and that she could never keep enough around the house to keep us happy 😉

  64. lori garringer says

    Veggie—asparagus and artichokes.
    How I’d use it??? I would trick my husband into thinking he was not drinking something healthy!!!

  65. Judy says

    I love brocolli best…and the first thing I’d use the powder for if I won is make one of the chocolate silk smootie…it looks amazing.

    oxo Judy

  66. Erin says

    My favorite green vegetable is either brocolli or just simple lettuce. Although I cooked up some rocking asparagus a couple weeks ago, so that could be a contender too. 🙂

  67. Katie says

    Favorite green veggie is probably spinach because I use it in so many different recipes and can add it to so many things! Broccoli comes in a close second.

  68. Becca says

    My favorite veggie is rainbow chard. Yum!

    I would love this powder! I’d put it in everything- from oatmeal to smoothies. I also think it would be great to share with my boyfriend- he won’t eat veggies and def needs creative ways to get his green vitamins in!

  69. Amber says

    Just one favorite??

    Hmmm I suppose it would be zucchini. Followed closely by spinach, green beans, and broccoli!

  70. Sarah says

    Favorite veggie: broccoli!!! In anything, raw or cooked anyway. Never tried it with chocolate, but I’m willing.

    My daughter is a competitive swimmer. She doesn’t eat meat …or a lot of greens. I try to sneak spinach into things but she doesn’t always ‘swallow the hook.’. She LOVES chocolate though. I will definitely need to get thus powder for her. She needs the nutrients!

  71. Lisa Broadley says

    My fav veggie I think is asparagus! Or rapini (Broccoli Rabe)…yummy!! As for the powder, possibly in cake. It would be a great way to get kids to ‘eat’ their veggies!!

  72. Audrey says

    I like broccoli, kale, spinach, collards…

    I would probably add this too smoothies and chia puddings. And probably just drink it with almond milk, too!

  73. Erica B. says

    Hello Katie! This is my first time leaving a comment on your site 🙂

    My favourite green vegetable is cucumber! I could sit and eat many cucumbers with dip or hummus specifically, eat cucumber and mayo sandwich, and even blending cucumbers in smoothies. I’ve experimented with cucumbers in spaghetti sauce and even in soup! I love cucumbers!

    I would love to have this container of Barleans Chocolate Silk. It sounds so delicious! And I often find I can curb so many cravings throughout the day by simply having a taste of chocolate. I’m really excited about product as I’ve never heard of it before! I love smoothies in the morning, and this may make my smoothies even better 🙂

    Thanks for everything you post! Your blog is amazing and so helpful when trying to eat healthier! I’ve been trying to change my life to be more fit and healthy since September and have been blessed by your website. Thank you!

  74. Hope Whitfield says

    That would HAVE to be a 4 way tie between long stem french green beans, green bell peppers, broccoli, baby spinach 🙂
    And I would add the powder to several of your recipes, though I’m thinking I would try it in the Voluminous Vanilla Ice Cream…. along with some of my other favorite substitutions/add ins!

  75. Jenn says

    Spinach is my favorite, b/c it’s so versatile. I love broccoli, but broccoli is always broccoli, no matter what you do to it.

  76. Laura M says

    I love all green vegetables…except maybe Brussels sprouts…
    And while I love eating greens, I would definitely enjoy adding this powder to recipes for everyone to enjoy, especially my friends who have more of a sweet tooth than a love for veggies. It’s a great way to enjoy food that’s good for you too!

  77. Michelle H says

    I never met a green I did not like, but spinach is probably a favorite. If I won I would use this drink for a chocolate fix without the guilt, and as a treat for the non-green loving members of my family.

  78. Michaela says

    love the pictures! can´t wait for the strawberries to really come in season.
    also while I believe it is way better to actually EAT greens instead of using a powder, I think they are so handy while travelling or living in circumstances where it is not easy to get good fresh produce.
    I think I´d say roasted broccoli. I have detested brokkoli for nearly 2 decades, but as it is your fav veggie (and I think you have an excellent taste when it comes to food :)) I thought I should give it a go and I love it!

  79. Marie Wright says

    hmmm, I love most green veggies, Kale, Broccoli, Spinach, Fresh Green Beans, etc….. Yummy. I would love to have some Chocolate silk to have a sweet smoothie w/out the guilt. Sounds Heavenly.

  80. Shanleigh says

    Favorite green vegetable is definitely the artichoke. I grew up eating them and now our kitchen is literally artichoke themed. Between tiles, pictures, rugs, curtains, fake artichokes, etc, there are well over 100 artichoke representations in my kitchen.

  81. Linda says

    Asparagus might be my favorite veggie, even tho’ I love them all! I would definitely use this powder in my smoothies (especially peanut butter/banana/chocolate!). Can imagine I could add it to anything I want to have a yummy chocolate flavor!

  82. Kim says

    Wow…this looks good!
    My favorate green vegetable would have to be Kale and Spinach …I use them in every thing from my breakfast to my Smoothies! My 4 kids even don’t mind them!
    I could think of a bunch of ways to use chocolate greens…it would fit right in to so many of your yummy recipes! I am on a homemade ice cream kick right now so I wonder how it would taste in homemade ice cream 😉

  83. donna says

    Can I only pick ONE favorite green vegetable? If so, then I guess I choose broccoli. Even though asparagus, brussell sprouts, spinach, english cucumbers, and zucchini aren’t far behind!

  84. MaryJane Higgins says

    I’ve recently rediscovered brussels sprouts. Love them roasted and then put in vitamix with and butternut squash and vegetable or chicken broth to make a “to die for” soup. Also love kale. Would love to try these Chocolate Greens.

  85. Karen S says

    My favorite green veggie is brocolli, cooked, raw, in salads, etc. I love it!
    Thanks so much to you and The Barleans Company for this great giveaway!

  86. Jaime says

    If i had to pick, i would say asparagus on the grill…mmmmm. I would like to use this in my morning smoothy. The day gets away from me sometimes and i am left needing my greens for the day. sigh. looking forward to trying this whether i win it or not. thanks!

  87. Sarah D says

    I would make this smoothie or a quick breakfast-on-the-run smoothie of this powder and milk. I’m nursing my 2-month old and always hungry, so this quick, healthy snack would be perfect. Thanks for the chance to win.

    • Emma says

      oops, favorite GREEN veggie!

      I’d have to go with broccoli in that case. Or maybe spinach. Artichokes? Ack! Too many to choose from!

  88. Cat says

    Couldn’t possibly pick a favorite green veggie. Love ’em all! (Ever tried fiddleheads?)
    I’d make chocolate banana smoothies every morning.

  89. Kate says

    I can’t pick just one fave – split between broccoli, green beans, and zucchini! I would definitely try this shake if I won the powder or make chocolate pumpkin pudding.

  90. Addie says

    If I won the powder I would sneak it into my husband’s diet. He is the pickiest eater EVER. He is 27 and has a list of about 10 foods he eats, none of them being vegetable. He eats chicken tenders, sausage and egg biscuits, strawberry frosted pop tarts, sausage gravy and biscuits, chocolate milkshakes, chocolate milk, bakery chocolate chip cookies and pizza shop pizza. Every now and then he will eat a banana but that is about as good as it gets. He is always complaining how tired he is and I tell him it’s because he is malnutritioned. Maybe this would be an answer for him!

  91. JenniferH says

    My favorite green veggie…sugar snap peas 🙂 I grow them and they never make it inside, because I’m eating them as I’m gardening. Thanks for the wonderful blog. You have a great sense of humor and it really comes across in your writing.

    • Dee says

      I’m the same way when my hubby grows snap peas, or green beans for that matter! The only way he can keep me from eating them before I make it to the house is to spray them with a soap and cayenne spray . . . he says it’s for bugs . . . I think he might be lying! 😉

  92. Dee says

    I love Spinach! Kind of in a Popeye way! For like 6 years after I had my gallbladder out I couldn’t touch lettuce or spinach . . . Then I found a Spinach Olive Oil, dried cherry, slivered almond sautee recipe (cooked veggies were never a problem, except for broccoli) and went hog wild, ate it nearly every day. Then I slowly started trying it raw! Yay, it didn’t make me sick!

    I also use spinach in all of my smoothie recipes. An easy way to get in an extra serving of veggies with breakfast!

  93. Lauren says

    As so many others stated, I would have to say spinach is my favorite green….especially in smoothies or salads!

  94. Patti says

    My favorite veggie is roasted broccoli! I also love spinach, I would put this product in my green smoothies! YUM!

  95. Katherine D. says

    If I won, I would make the most delicious green monster smoothies with this powder 🙂

    katherinedibello (at) gmail (Dot) com

  96. Melaina says

    Favorite veggie… do I have to pick just one?! Kale, spinach, carrots!! This powder would be a GREAT way to supplement my post work-out shakes!!

  97. Robin G. says

    My favorite would be spinach for sure! I love spinach salads with strawberries or mandarin slices with almonds and raspberry vinaigrette. And I would use the powder to make your lovely smoothie. Yum!

  98. Michelle says

    I love broccoli! I eat it or green beans most dinners steamed with carrots. I try to always eat a green vegetable as at least one of three veggie sides each night with my chicken. I’m also on a smoothie kick now that I just bought a blender for the first time in my life (I have seen the light! haha). I’m enjoying experimenting with milk vs. yogurt vs. ice vs. powders. This giveaway would be right up my alley! 🙂

  99. Dona says

    Kale is the BOMB! I have seen the Barleans powder and was curious. I don’t think I would ever replace my kale and spinach with a powder, but I would love to add it in and pump up the nutritional quotient.

  100. Chloe says

    You are asking a tough question! My favorite at the moment would have to be spinach, I think! The first thing I though of using this for was your chocolate pancake recipe with the greens mix, although this is just a different brand! But this also sounds like it would taste good mixed with a berry flavored pancake batter too, or even peanut butter…mmm!

  101. Krista says

    I am not really looking to win anything, since I live in France, and that might be a long trip for that container to make (if I did win, you could send it to my mom in Houston!). My real point in commenting is to tell you that you inspired the making of a delicious milkshake containing the following ingredients:
    Large banana
    A bunch of pitted, frozen cherries
    Greek style yogurt (sheep’s milk, but you could do silken tofu, I would think)
    Cocoa powder
    Agave syrup
    Soy milk

    It got a nice, creamy wine color, and since I love chocolate covered cherries, I found it oh so yummy. Can’t believe I had never thought to do that before. Thanks for the inspiration! Hope you can get frozen cherries there. Not sure how the jarred kind would fare.

  102. Karen D. says

    I am absolutely in love with kale! Kalicious smoothie, kale and soba noodles, sauteed with garlic, raw kale massaged salad… I love it. I would live to try chocolate greens. Sounds wonderful.

  103. Lisa @bitesforbabies says

    I LOVE the consistency that frozen fruit gives to smoothies! I’m hooked! I make mine thick enough to eat with a spoon…who would have thought that “fruit” smoothies could be so indulgent!!

  104. Suzie says

    MMM, I love me a good smoothie or healthy shake, especially chocolate! My favorite green vegetable will have to spinach, its so versatile and healthy! But honestly love them all. Thanks for the post!

  105. Kendra says

    I would love to use this in our smoothies when I run out of greens or when we need a break from the ones we’ve been eating!

  106. Danielle says

    Right now, like the rest of the world, I seem to be all about kale. Poor broccoli, I’m neglecting you so.

  107. Krista says

    P.S. I forgot to tell you what I’d do with that powder. I’d make that same shake again, but trying it with the powder to see the results. And, I think my favorite green veggie might vary depending on my mood. My first thought was rocket salad. Love its pepperiness. But, I really LOVE kale. I can’t get it here in France. It’s like they don’t even know that it exists, which makes me sad. I would eat it all the time if I could. I haven’t had much success growing it yet though.

  108. Sophia says

    My favorite green veggie would be a tie between broccoli and artichokes!
    If I won this chocolate silk greens powder, I would give it my mother- Because she has celiacs disease she needs all the help she can get to get more nutrition into her diet!

  109. Stacey says

    I would use this for my 6 yr old who has a strong food aversion and low weight from it. His doctor prescribed boost and he can’t stand it. Frankly, all the additives make me question whether it has any benefit. I would like to blend this with some thick pure coconut milk in hope that he and my 2 other kids will drink it.

    My favorite green is all of them but maybe kale hits the top

  110. Iris H. says

    Fresh broccoli is my fav green veggie! I bet this product would be great in some greek yogurt as an evening snack/dessert! Can’t wait to try it!

  111. Katherine C. says

    I would totally use these in my black bean brownies recipe, because then I’m only a food group away from them meeting all my nutritional requirements. In a brownie.

  112. Lorissa says

    Ah this looks delish! Definitely would use it in almost every smoothie/”ice cream”/milkshake I make. (which is a lot) I feel like this would b perfect in the healthy shamrock shake! Getting hungry just thinking about it. Mmmm

    As for my favorite green veggie…that’s a toughie…probably broccoli! Steamed with lemon, raw, with mustard, cooked in olive oil…they’re great no matter what yah do!

  113. Tina says

    Favorite Green – Spinach!! Especially on pizza or in omelets!! I love to try new things so have really enjoyed coming across your blog (the non-avacado guac dip was a HUGE hit yesterday as part of our St. Patrick’s Day fun!!). I find new products intriguing and have never heard of Barlean’s Greens…would love to check it out. Sounds like it might be good mixed in with several of your recipes. And, if you can bake with it, I’d for sure try to use it to make some healthy but yummy after school snacks for the kids!! Always trying to sneak in some extra nutrients since they are quite the picky eaters! 🙂 Thanks for sharing!

  114. dc says

    Hmm… favorite.. that’s a tough one, but I’d say a top fav veggie is kale, the dark red kind, or the flat lacinato variety. Although I do think spinach is probably the most versatile (easiest to use in recipes, sub for lettuce, used in smoothies etc.) I’ve never tried a ‘veggie’ powder, and not sure I nutritionally need it, but it does sound intriguing and would be fun to try!

  115. Jena says

    Kale. Blend it, bake it, drizzle a dressing—we’re learning to love it!
    I think I could use the green powder in all our smoothies, but especially in mint choc chip. Yum!

  116. Amanda says

    That looks fantastic! My favorite green vegetable is grilled asparagus, and I would love to use the chocolate silk in my oatmeal 🙂

  117. Tricia says

    My favorite green veggie would have to be fresh spinach! Yay! I would really like this powder so I can try this smoothie. 🙂

  118. Cathy says

    Hi Katie,
    I love broccoli! I would use it a lot, everything I eat I try to make nutritious, bc I want to be healthy and I am most likely sharing it with a two yr old. When I make your cakebatter milkshake I add toddler supreme which is a vanilla vitamin drink I bought when my doctor said I should by feeding my son cows milk. However my two yr old did not like it, but he loves it in your shakes. If you say this powder is good, I bet it is delish. I love all your recipes, I have desert everyday sometimes twice. Almost everyday we have one of your breakfasts. Anyways I would use the chocolate greens, to make shakes, double chocolate cookies anyone?, oh chocolate pancakes (or maybe even your red velvet pancakes), 5minute chocolate cake, the ideas could be endless! Thanks!

  119. Sam says

    My favorite green veggie is either spinach or broccoli.

    I would use the powder in my morning smoothie. Nothing beats chocolate!

  120. Shannon C says

    I love kale. I’d use this powder for myself and to sneak in some greens for the kids. They love smoothies.

  121. Kayla says

    My favorite green vegetable is probably spinach. But, I also like asparagus! Do avocados count as a vegetable? haha. I would use this in LOTS of stuff!! Smoothies, puddings, maybe your raw chocolate pie… basically everything! Oatmeal, yumm!! Now I really hope I get this!!

  122. mary says

    I LOVE Brussel Sprouts! LOVE THEM!!

    I have never had this chocolate mix before so I would probably try it in everything possible that could have chocolate 🙂

  123. Carry says

    Spinach and mushrooms are my favorite veggies. I think I’d use the chocolate greens in my pancake batter. Always looking for ways to sneak veggies into the kids’ breakfast!

  124. Jennifer Heether says

    my absolute favorite green is kale! I have never tried the chocolate greens, now im so intrigued!!!

  125. Lauren says

    I love pretty much all greens, but brussel sprouts probably take the cake (yes, I’m weird). And I would probably use Silk Greens in a banana softserve.

  126. Shannon says

    I’d have to say that my favorite green vegetable would be the familiar ol’ steamed broccoli. So delicious, even plain. As for this fancy Chocolate Silk, I’d probably through some in my morning oat bran along side my PB and banana.

  127. Michele says

    Hi Katie! My favorite green vegetable is hands down BROCOLLI! I love it in garlic olive oil and so does my 7 yr old!!

  128. Jean Weiss says

    My favorite green vegetable is definitely spinach, as you can use it in such a variety of recipes; from sweet smoothies to savory salads.

  129. Jennifer says

    I love so many green veggies it’s hard to choose. Maybe artichokes would be it. That’s my “turkey” on thanksgiving…a big fat artichoke!

    I’d use the powder any way you recommend. Haven’t steered me wrong yet. I’ve never heard of the stuff but plan to look into it. Thanks!

  130. Shawnna T-EL says

    My favorite green are Collard Greens….love them made with spicy chili peppers! If I won this chocolate powder, I would use this to attempt my raw chocolate mousse one more time. I made it with a recipe that called for carob powder the first time, and let’s just say I was less than impressed with it…BLECH!!!

  131. angela says

    i like roasted broccoli best (with garlic and pharm), but i like romaine lettuce, cucumbers, and avocado lots too

  132. Kristin says

    I would definitely make smoothies of some sort every day if I won the Barleans Chocolate Silk Greens… I am so guilty of not eating enough veggies every 🙁

  133. Kathy says

    My favorite recipe has to be spinach. I love them in green smoothies, though I don’t drink them much.
    I’d use the powder in this smoothie, or any other smoothie I want to add some nutritients to!

  134. Jenny says

    Hi, Katie! I’ve been reading your blog for a couple of months now; however, this is my first comment. I don’t remember how I stumbled across your site, or what I was looking for, but I was instantly drawn to your outrageous looking desserts, and the fact that they are healthy is such a huge factor (which, you obviously already know!). I follow you on Facebook and Pinterest, and I come back to your blog every day. I love to eat, cook, bake, and find ways to live healthier, and your blog is one of the best I’ve seen. I really admire what you’re doing (and your chocolate tooth – because as long as you have that, you’ll keep posting). Every photo is gorgeous, and every recipe looks divine. I am not a vegan, but I am trying to find ways to eat and live better for my myriad health problems, but I still want to enjoy my life, including what I eat! So, thank you for your concerted efforts (and all the taste-testing!) in making your readers’ lives, attitudes, and appetites healthier and happier! You and your words are a real blessing. Now, I shall take a crack at the blog question, and at winning that giant container of greens. 🙂 My favorite greens are broccoli, kale, and spinach; I love the versatility of all of them and I eat them raw, cooked, baked, in salads, on pizza, in smoothies, in soups…the options are practically limitless. *I will say, though, that I recently tried your roasted cauliflower with BBQ sauce, which is now an added favorite even though it’s not a green veg, but worth you knowing, due to the fact that I’ve never been a fan of the texture or flavor of the brainy-looking stuff, but I know it is so good for me, and you devised a method that has cured my cauliflower blues! But, I digress. As for what I would do with the Barlean’s Chocolate Silk Greens, I’m sure I would add it to smoothies, but I might also try it in some sort of pudding, mixed into an ice cream, or possibly in bars. If you create any lovely recipes using the greens, please post them. Thanks, Katie!

  135. Teresa G says

    KALE…hands down! Raw, please…now I want to make a salad just thinkin about it! I’ve gotten into vegan baking lately and would like to see how I could incorporate this powder into some recipes for the added health factor~

  136. jennifer says

    I just got on the kale bandwagon. I actually may have been doing so many years ago when I would go out to eat and they used it as a garnish on my plate, but I actaully ate it. I knew it was good for me. Now it is now mainstream at all supermarket stores. I have it in my stir fry and make Kale chips. I wonder how nice the Barlean’s cocoa would be sprinkled on the chips. I can only know if I am the lucky one who gets this give away; I don’t think it is available up here on the Pacific Coast of BC.

  137. Jenn says

    Spinach is my favorite green veggie! I would love to try this powder in my daily smoothie. I am always looking for a way to include more chocolate – wait, I mean green veggies into my diet!!

  138. Clarissa says

    My fave is probably spinach because it’s neutral tasting so you can throw it in pretty much anything. 🙂

  139. Lissa says

    love green smoothies…wish I had more time to make them in the morning. I would definitely experiment with this powder in smoothies!

  140. Rebecca Gillespie says

    Currently my favorite green veggie is brussels sprouts! Roasted in the oven they are soooo yummy!

  141. Donna says

    Favorite veggies are spinach, kale and brocolli. I get protein as well as all the other good stuff from spinach and brocolli. I would use the chocolate silk in spaghetti or 3-bean chilli. Currently I add in a bit of cinnamon. So this would add some extra zing!

  142. kim says

    I love broccoli with cheese sauce…..as does my dog! We are both fighting for leftovers. But since he can’t have anything with chocolate, the Barleans would be all mine so I’d gladly give him the broccoli leftovers!

    Kim

  143. Stephanie Davis says

    My favorite green veggie would have to be broccoli. Or spinach. Or asparagus. Can I only leave one?

  144. Brianna says

    My favorite green veggies are Brussels, spinach, and asparagus! I’d use the powder for smoothies and to flavor delicious oatmeal! Great alternative 🙂

  145. Molly says

    My favorite green vegetable is Zucchini because you can eat it raw or bake breads, cakes, muffins, etc. with it!

  146. Meghan says

    green veggie? Green beans or zucchini. yummmmm..

    I’ve never heard of the powder though, sounds amazing!! I would probably use all of it way too quickly…and put it in everything I could imagine to put it in….

  147. Sara says

    Oh my goodness, my favorite green vegetable? Difficult. Very difficult. I guess I’ll go with zucchini, but greens and green beans are a close second and third. And what about broccoli? And brussels sprouts? Oh and basil? YUUUUUM.

  148. Cyhyraeth says

    Artichokes. I skip the fancy versions that call for heavy sauces- just boil the things whole and then strip the veggie-meat from the leaves with your teeth. You’re almost guaranteed to savor them, though that’s mostly because there’s no way to eat them quickly because the outer leaves have spiny little claws that bite back if you’re careless. And the artichoke heart? Like a little furry treasure.

    Er, minus the fur. Always scoop out the fur before eating. Nom.

  149. Tamu says

    I’m thinking I could use this to boost the chocolate frosting shots recipe you posted. Even though it started out a little bitter from all the cocoa powder (and required a lot of sweetener), it was excellent. Esp. on the top of the 1 minute chocolate cake!
    Anyway, my favorite green vegetables might be kale, collard, and turnip greens.

  150. Shelby (everydayvegangirl) says

    I’m not sure I could pick only one. I love all leafy greens…kale, spinach, arugula, collards, swiss chard. I don’t think I’ve met a green veggie I don’t like! I could use this powder for anything and everything chocolate…I routinely make my S’mores oatmeal http://everydayvegangirl.blogspot.com/2012/02/week-of-oatmeal-7-fantastic-creations.html
    that I could use this powder in since I don’t have any other veggies in this meal.

  151. Kate Hollstrom says

    Favorite green veggie: Spinach. It’s the one green veggie I can hide in my morning shake and not taste! This powder would be awesome!

  152. Marissa says

    My favorite green veggie is definitely zucchini! And since I don’t just want to leave my comment at that, I’ll also say that my husband and I would use this powder every day in a yummy fruit smoothie that we do for breakfast; fruits and veggies all in one, PLUS chocolate what else could be better when you’re 25 weeks pregnant like I am?! 😀

  153. Sandra says

    Love all your yummy recipes! I would use the powder with peanut butter for the center of homemade Reese’s cups! 🙂

  154. Sunnie says

    I’m gonna be plain honest here . . .
    I love brussel sprouts. LOVE THEM. They are like teeny cabbage babies . . . yummy, sweet, a little crunchy, and delicious drizzled with Bragg’s Liquid Aminos and a little grated black pepper on top. I could fall over just thinking about them.

    Franklin was my favorite show when I was little (remember the little green turtle?). He always hated brussel sprouts though, and I could never quite relate . . .

  155. marti says

    favorite green vegetable?? how to pick just one!! i would have to say asparagus..it is such a treat, and i could eat it every day! my roomie and i call spring asparagus season! her family picks it wild and we have enough to literally have it at every meal and we DO! 🙂 sooo good grilled, steamed, boiled..roasted…yummmmm

  156. Jo says

    My favorite green vegetable changes on a weekly basis but lacinato kale is always wayy up there! Green beans are pretty amazing too, especially raw dipped in hummus!

    I would love to add this powder to smoothies and maybe brownies? mmmm

  157. Sasha Lopez says

    Spinach!! Great fresh as greens in everything including salads, can go into almost any smoothie without harming the taste for those not a fan and so healthy.

  158. Melissa says

    Broccoli! I know that I don’t eat enough of my veggies despite my love for all of them. I would use this to ensure that I get more of the required nutrients that my body needs. That, and a chocolate fix at the same time! 🙂

  159. mrsluckypants says

    Well first I’d try your chocolate silk smoothie and hope my kids would love it. Evil laugh. Getting more veggies/nutrients in them would be a plus. Favorite green veggie would have to be asparagus or brocolli or green beans. It’s hard to choose. Thanks for reviewing this powder, I might have never heard about it if it weren’t for you.

  160. Katie says

    I have yet to find a green vegetable that I do not like. Asparagus, cucumber, spinach, kale, bell peppers…any peppers, broccoli, beans, peas, artichoke, squash… I love them all. And I would LOVE to try out this giant container of Barleans Chocolate Silk. Because, next to vegetables, chocolate is at the top of my list! I’d add it to my daily shake. Yum!

  161. Dina says

    sounds perfect for smoothies for the kids too!! love getting in some more greens into their diets!
    my favorite green- Kale, in smoothies!

  162. Claire says

    Broccoli! Regardless of how it’s prepared, it’s delicious. I would probably either use this powder in milkshakes (like you did) orrrr possibly in oatmeal.

  163. Anna Mortensen says

    Hmmm… My favorite green veggie is kale! And I ate it for the first time about 6 months ago. It was love at first bite. I imagine I’d use this in any number of things. Smoothies for sure. But it also sounds like it would be good in chocolate fudge cake and chocolate pumpkin bars. Mmmmmm…

  164. Yang says

    Favorite green veggie is for sure asparagus! Love it when grilled, sauteed, or even steamed with a splash of favorite dressing!

  165. Laura says

    My favorite green vegetable is broccoli. I can’t get enough! I think it’s because my mom was addicted to broccoli when she was pregnant with me.

  166. Deb says

    Kale! I will give the chocolate silk a try in my daily green smoothie. Thanks for letting us know about this product.

  167. Carrie says

    Hey Katie! First, cucumbers for the win! In ANY form ( I ❤ pickles!). I would make a super-healthy chocolate protein bar (inspired by you) to be used after working out.

    This looks fabulous by the way. 🙂 I’m currently water/juice fast and pop in over here for the occasional food porn. You’re pictures are almost lickable!

  168. Melissa says

    I would definately incorporate this into my smoothie routine. I have a green smoothie every morning, so this would be a great way to mix things up.

  169. Lea says

    I don’t think I could pick a favorite green vegetable, they’re all so good! I’ve been on a serious brussels sprout kick lately though!

  170. Roxanne says

    This looks amazing! I would love to get one of these Barlean’s. As for favorite greens, it would have to be spinach. I love it raw, cooked, or mixed in my smoothies. It’s the best!

  171. Ellen says

    My favorite green veggie? Well, there’s a lot of options… but I’ll have to go with broccoli! I’ve loved it since I was little! And I definitely use the powder in smoothies… and maybe oatmeal?

  172. Lexi_in_joon says

    Gosh, I LOVE all greens. I guess if I had to choose a favorite it would be
    brocoli! Super filling and so yummy. I’d use the powder in this smoothie, oatmeal, and maybe add to the graham cracker recipe for a chocolatey twist!

  173. Laura L says

    hmmm….i think spinach and asparagus. but there sure are a lot of good ones out there. you really sold me on this recipe, seriously craving this now! hope i win! or that i find the powder somewhere soon!

  174. Crystal says

    Whoo hoo!! Give-a-way time!!!

    Face green veggie? I have many: broccoli, cucumber, spinach, asparagus, chayote (it’s a small light green squash-like thing), green peppers, celery…do I need to go on? And I make smoothies daily, so I’d just incorporate the Chocolate greens into which ever smoothie I decided to make. (Today it’s the mint chocolate chop smoothie you blogged about for St. Patty’s day, but without the mint…so it’s a green vanilla chocolate chip flavoured smoothie!!)

  175. Heather Levasseur says

    My infant has a SERIOUS sweet tooth – while I was pregnant it gave ME a serious sweet tooth that never really went away when he was born and I started breastfeeding. I’ve always loved greens – spinach and kale are my favorites, but since this baby boy has taken over my system, I find myself struggling to choose the good stuff over the “good” stuff. One way or another, I think I’m going to have to procure myself some of this product, but getting a stash to start with will certainly help bring me and my munchkin to a happy harmony!!

  176. Joanne says

    Yum, that looks delish Katie! Favorite green veggie? It is impossible to pick one…LOL. Has to be peas, fresh of course, or asparagus-love that green stick! Oh and baby bok choi, Yum! Wanna try your Chocolate Silk Smoothie with the barlean’s or maybe just some guilt free chocolate almond milk!

  177. Joelle says

    It’s gotta be asparagus. Or maybe spinach… Or brussel sprouts!! There are too many good green veggies!! I can’t pick just one 🙂

  178. Etain says

    I love Spinach! I add some fresh green leaves to all my smoothies. For variety I like Collards, Kale, Beet, and Turnip greens too. I’d love some of the Barlean’s because I’m betting it contains some wheat or barley grass, and I rarely find that fresh. 🙂

  179. Holli says

    Spinach! I may be slowly moving toward kale but for now it’s still spinach! Hmm I’m thinking the powder would go well in some chocolate dehydrator cookies! I’ve actually made some of your raw batter/dough recipes and then shaped them in cookies to make in the dehydrator. Works pretty well! I especially like the lower sugar chocolate chip cookie dough peanut butter style.

    But mostly the barlean’s powder would be a great way to get some veggies in the drinks and shakes I make for my boyfriend. (I can only use so much spinach before he notices)

    And the math symbol for “way greater than” is just >>

    • Holli says

      Now that I think about it, favorite green veggie to eat just all on its own would be raw green beans. The only vegetable I would touch when I was little. And it HAD to be raw.

  180. Lisa says

    hmm, favorite green vegetable? I have so many that I can’t pick just one…love green beans, green peppers, asparagus, spinach, broccoli, wow, I could go on and on 🙂

  181. Debbie says

    I have loved broccoli for as long as i can remember. The other kids would tease me because I had broccoli for lunch so often.
    I make a green smoothie for breakfast most mornings. I would love to try the Chocolate SIlk Greens in it.

  182. Lisa says

    I love any kind of leafy green that I can blend into my smoothie and not taste but get all the phytonutrients from… I would use this powder to enhance my smoothies- would also come in handy when I run out of greens or when I am in a hurry and don’t really have time to clean my greens…

  183. Breanne says

    My favorite green vegetables are peas! So sweet and delicious–like nature’s summer candy. But I also LOVE bokchoy which is mostly green.

    Thanks Katie!

  184. Aimee says

    Heck, I’ll tell you both. My favorite green veggie is broccoli. It’s so darn delicious. And if I had this powder I would use it daily for my daughter who has a hard time consuming enough veggies but has no problem with tasty treats!

  185. Meri says

    I just tried this recipe, and it was sooooo good! I used cocoa powder and sweetened it with agave nectar. Heaven! Anyway, as for green veggies, it’s a tie between broccoli and spinach

  186. Gwendolyn says

    My most fav veggie is kale. Ive recently made a lot of choices in our family, to be healthy. Weve cut out meat and dairy, aside from cheese. That’ll come later :). I’ve been concentrating on feeding my family more natural fruits and vegetables rather than processed foods. It’s been a full time job finding recipes and foods that are healthy and yet still taste good. I was so happy to find your site! I know it will help out immensely! My four girls’ ages range from 5 to 13. I want to teach them that healthy food can taste good too! My girls love smoothies for breakfast. If I won the powder, I would use it in their smoothies 🙂

  187. Stephanie says

    My favorite green veggie is asparagus!! It’s funny how our taste buds change when we get older…I used to hate it as a child!

  188. Shannon says

    I love carmalized Brussels sprouts. Sounds weird but they are so, so good just chop em up and sautée with some garlic, olive oil, and brown sugar! Yum!! Love my greens in any form though, spinach smoothies, big salads, kale chips..

  189. Shadé says

    I can’t decide between kale and avocado! Really I love all the green vegetables except Lima beans and green peas!! Lol

  190. Celeste Cochran says

    Yummmm, I’d use this to make your delicious Chocolate Silk Smooothie! My favorite green vegetable is probably spinach!

    Thanks so much, Katie!

  191. Kristi Bailey says

    My favorite green veggie is asparagus.
    I would use this product as
    you described in your recipe & give it to my
    Three girls. They do not eat
    nearly enough greens & I know it would be
    good because it was tried & tested by you.
    I may venture out from there to try additional
    breakfast smoothies. I am always looking for
    something that is healthy & taste good for all
    of us!

  192. June says

    Favorite greens: asparagus, spinach and broccoli! This would also be fabulous if you subbed nut butter in for the strawberries! Or even some mint leaves

  193. LDT says

    I suppose green olives don’t count as a vegetable…
    I love sugar snap peas, snow peas, spinach, basil, kale, celery, broccoli, brussel sprouts… I could go on. I suppose if I had to pick a favourite it would be broccoli.

    By the sounds of it, this Chocolate Silk Greens would be great in almond milk ice cream or pudding… Darn, now I’m craving chocolate!

  194. suzanne says

    I love green veggies – I have to stop myself from adding too much spinach to my smoothie in the morning and eat gobs of veggies all day – spinach , kale, broccoli, brussel sprouts, asparagus….to hard to pick just one! I still love the powders though and especially for my boyz who are not quite the veggie lovers I am! We have a big smoothie every morning (when I am stocking up at the store – the employees look at me like I have a disease or something!)

  195. Nicole says

    Baby spinach. Broccoli. Roasted green beans. No, wait! My mom’s kale soup! Mustard greens. Baby lettuces. Do I have to pick just one??

  196. Heather McClees says

    Hi Katie! LOVELY post! I love the new product, and would definitely be using it in my morning smoothies, WITH my favorite green vegetable- asparagus! I mix asparagus, kale, spinach, stevia, Artisana coconut butter, almond milk, and a chocolate green powder ( usually Amazing Grass ) into my smoothie with lots of ice, topped off with some blueberries. It is DELICIOUS, and your new recipe looks awesome!: ) Thanks for the giveaway opportunity!

  197. Raiganp says

    My favorite vegetable would be broccoli! I eat it everyday. I also have no problem getting my vegetable intake. I would use the powder in shakes and maybe add some to pancakes!

  198. Angela says

    I can’t pick a favourite!! Brussel sprouts, spinach, kale, cucumber, sugar snap peas… STOP ME!!
    I would probably take all of them and blend them up with that chocolate powder!!

  199. Stacey says

    My favorite green veggie is either kale, or spinach, or brussel sprouts – I really like them all! What would I do with this powder- toss it into my daily shake!

  200. Camilla says

    I don’t think I have a favorite 😮 I like many green veggies. If I *had* to pick though…I suppose broccoli…it’s pretty versatile…but also leafy greens in general can be used in a variety of ways, so they’re pretty cool, too.

  201. Debbie (Accidently Delish) says

    favorite green veggie at the moment (i love my veggies) is broccoli and asparagus because its in season now!!

    this looks amazing and i’ve never seen a chocolate flavor! i would love to make this smoothie, maybe add some mint to it?

  202. Kathryn says

    My favorite green vegetable is zucchini, good bbq, stir fried and made into bread! I would use the greens in my chocolate protein shake in the mornings

  203. Anna Mumau says

    My favorite green veggie is SPINACH! I love it in salads, lasagna, smoothies, ice cream, and so much more. I would use Chocolate Silk in my protein shakes, in chocolate milk, and ice cream 🙂

  204. Barb says

    Spinach — no wonder Popeye loved it! It can be worked into every meal. This is my first post on your site EVER. Thanks for so many great ideas and recipes.

  205. Karen says

    I have the palate of a 5 year old so I routinely sneak vegetables into my diet. My blender could be considered medical equipment – lol.
    Greens in chocolate? Oh yeah!

  206. Loie says

    I know it’s weird, but I actually really love brussel sprouts. Roasted in the oven with olive oil + garlic.. YUM.

  207. gabi says

    kale is my favorite!! love to make kale chips.

    i’d love to try the greens powder in this smoothie recipe 🙂

  208. Anne says

    Green Beans are my favorite….although I am trying to learn to love more of them! I could definately use this poweder to make great shakes and get more greens in my diet.

  209. Lacey says

    My favorite green vege is ALL of them! And I would use the powder to make my daughter healthy chocolate treats like ice cream 🙂

  210. Alyssa says

    My go-to green is spinach, but there’s a raw food restaurant nearby that makes a kale salad that is just beyond! I’m trying to find a way to bribe the recipe out of them…
    I’ll bet one could make a nice chocolate green smoothie with this powder. Yum!!!!

  211. Lena says

    I love celery! Everyone always thinks I’m so weird when I say that, but I really do. And it’s so fun munching it 🙂

  212. Molly says

    I would have to go with avocado…okay okay so it is technically a fruit, but I love them sooo much! Or kale, I really like the heartiness of it and how dark green some varieties are…you just know it is bursting with healthy goodness! I would definitely use this powder with the strawberries, I love chocolate and strawberries!!

  213. Britany says

    I love spinach; sautéed, fresh in a salad, or blended into a smoothie, so I would use this powder to help make mine and my toddler’s (who of course hates veggies but loves my fortified smoothies) even healthier.

  214. Kristen says

    Its definitely hard to pick a favourite green veggie but since its thankfully in season I’d have to say asparagus. As much as I love chard, spinach, broccoli etc. etc. I eat asparagus by the pound. I grow my own delicious pencil thin spears but I don’t know that I’d ever be able to grow enough! The chocolate silk powder sounds great, I can’t wait to try it.

  215. Vicki says

    My favorite green veggie – home grown peas! Thanks Katie, and thanks Barleans! I love Barleans Oils. I’d love this chocolate powder for making yummy smoothies for my family.

  216. Heather says

    ummm…..sugar snap peas. As someone who often falls short on the veggie end of things I would love to try this! Also, can you really get TOO MANY veggies???? 🙂

  217. Jennifer says

    I think I love too many green vegetables–broccoli rabe, spinach, kale, cucumbers (though technically a fruit), lettuces of all kinds, arugula, string beans, zucchini, peas, asparagus… Is that enough?

  218. CarylMay Herlyck says

    My favorite green vegetable is Kale! Love it in soup and in smoothies and it is also a great garnish! I would use this chocolate silk for smoothies and desserts!! Thanks!

    CarylMay

  219. Kerry says

    I love all green vegetables! It’s so hard to choose a favorite. My top 3 right now would have to be spinach, kale, and brussels sprouts. This chocolate powder looks great! I would love to try it in smoothies, and maybe even mixed in my oatmeal!

  220. Tawnee says

    My favorite green vegetable…can I only choose one?!

    I think that award has to go to broccoli. There’s just something soooo perfect about a plate of simple, garlic roasted broccoli with a little tempeh.

  221. Jolene says

    Are you kidding me? Pick one favorite green veggie. I don’t think it’s possible. Spinach, avocados, green beans, peas, broccoli, zucchini, cucumbers, I have to say green veggies are my favorite. I think I might try a chocolate green monster smoothie if I won.

  222. Abby says

    My favorite green veggie… That’s a hard decision I haven’t thought about before. The first one that pops into my head is asparagus.
    I would use that giant can of Barleans to make the amazing smoothie you just posted, and a few variations of the same!
    Thank you so much for your recipes!!! You have made my switch to living a new lifestyle SO worth it!

  223. Janice says

    I love spinach and broccoli, but I’ll take asparagus, Brussel sprouts or sugar snap peas anytime. I have 2 under 2 so I am very busy and I would use this in shakes on mornings I know I will be out and about all day and short of my green intake.

  224. Nicky says

    Well, I’d use this product to make chocolate smoothies of all kinds and forms because my daughter absolutely loves chocolate and has been begging me for chocolate milk since we found out we needed to change our diet to be dairy – free… so she would just love this!

  225. Christa says

    I LOVE to make some of your shakes as my post-run refuel snack to get my sugar levels back up (after a little gatorade of course!). This powder would be great to add to them since it has the extra nutrients.

    Keep the recipes coming Katie! I haven’t tried one that my tastebuds didn’t like. 🙂

  226. Christina Lengyel says

    My favorite green veggie? Asparagus! Which btw is an AWESOME substitute in guacamole, which I don’t like either. Thanks for the suggestion! 🙂

  227. Sarah the official CCK drooler-we pick Rick says

    The sign for way greater than is w>. I totally made that up. Not that you could tell 🙂

    Fave green? I guess I’ll have one when I’m 18. Right now, my mom still has to cover it up- or I won’t really eat it. I am gonna save a TON of money not buying kale for my kids to eat (when they CLEARLY don’t want to). AHEM, Mother.

  228. Erica says

    It’s tough to pick my favorite green veggie- I love them all! But I’d have to say broccoli, especially steamed and topped with nutritional yeast!

  229. Caitlin says

    Spinach and Edamame!

    I would use it every day in my post-workout shake. Or in smoothies. Possibly both.

    *greens are that important, yup*

  230. Chelsea says

    My favorite green veggie is probably broccoli, roasted in the oven. Spinach is a close second, I love it in green smoothies and salads!

  231. Ivey says

    So hard to choose- but I think since this veggie has been a favorite since I was four and chose it over ice cream, I’ll have to go with broccoli!

  232. Selina says

    Favorite green? Oh, I dunno If I can choose just one. I love spinach for my morning green smoothies! But Kale makes any awesome raw salad. And arugula shows up in my diet quite a bit too.

    Truth be told if I were to win, I’d likely use this to make my husbands smoothies. He likes his smoothies sweet and isn’t a fan of the green smoothie. Plus he probably doesn’t get as much greens in his diet as I do. 🙂

  233. Pamela says

    Broccoli!! Or spinach…depends if cooking or munching. Would love to try this in smoothies or my in favorite chocolate dessert!

  234. Dorothy says

    My favorite has to be roasted brussels sprouts! I would love try to find a faster way to make a good green/chocolate smoothie.

  235. Jennie says

    I just grilled asparagus for the first time last night and fell in LOVE with it…..I think I could eat it every day 🙂 🙂 🙂

  236. Amy says

    I would use the powder in my favorite banana chocolate smoothies.
    As far as the green veggies go, too many to name, but I am on a brussel sprout kick. Roasted with olive oil, salt/pepper…they are soooo good! My kids love them, too. They are even good right out of the refrigerator.

  237. Brittany says

    Favorite green vegetable?? Well, I do love me some romaine lettuce… because there are so many different things you can do with it/put it on/put it in/etc. Although zucchini is so great too in soups and other baking/cooking endeavors… I definitely would be using this mix, though, in the mornings or maybe even after workouts as a great reward for working so hard 😉

  238. Kimberly says

    I would use this powder to make my kiddos free smoothies they would love. They turn their noses up at my “green” green smoothies. 🙂 If I don’t win (sigh), where can I buy this?

  239. Jessy says

    I have no problem consuming enough vegetables either (but I’m up for anything chocolate-related, so I would love to try this!), I love them! My favourite is definitely red bell pepper, though. We grow our own, so I eat plenty during the summer. 🙂

  240. Ashley W says

    Definitely broccoli! I would love to incorporate more green veggies in to my diet. I’ve been dealing with some health issues recently and the doctor has been urging me to move to more of a plant based diet. I think the powder would do the trick!

  241. Brinna says

    I love asparagus! Oven roasted with olive oil and salt and pepper-So yummy! But broccoli is not far behind 🙂 I really like these types of powders especially because it helps get some veggies into me before noon which usually wouldn’t happen.

  242. Kendra says

    I love spinach! I like to put a few handfuls into my protein shakes in the morning and have been trying to get my husband to do the same for all the nutritional benefits but he just won’t So this powder would be a great way for him to get his greens too.

  243. Marie Diane Mello says

    This would be an excellent addition to breakfast (or dessert) pancakes. Just imagine what you could do with this and a few mini-chocolate chips!! Wowsa!!!!!!!!!!!!

  244. Sonyanijntje says

    Favorite green vegetable? But there are so many!! But I think I’d go for the flat beans! They are great in Eastern as well as European dishes, and they still have a bite if you don’t overcook them. These beans just love my home-made peanut-sauce :P. (But I don’t think I’d put those beans in a green smoothie though…)

  245. Colleen Keith says

    I love spinach! It’s my sneaky vegetable, because you can put it in anything to increase the nutritional content and never notice its there 🙂 I would probably put it in this smoothie with some bananas and coconut butter 🙂

  246. Debbie says

    This sounds delish. My fave green vegetable has to be green beans. Yummy and crunchy ad try go in anything. Side dish, pasta, salads and general munching! Just out of curiosity, is there anywhere in the UK that I could buy this product from?

  247. Katie B. says

    If I had to pick one, I would probably choose kale. I LOVE making (and eating) kale chips!! But I do also like asparagus, broccoli, and spinach!

    I would probably try this powder in my protein shakes or even mixed with greek yogurt. 🙂

  248. Theresa says

    Green veggies are my favorite…broccoli, spinach, green beans. I’ve even been kinder to kale, lately. I’d use this powder for smoothies and even baked goods!!!! 🙂 Kinda neat to know that the chocolaty goodness is also good for you! Thanks for the giveaway!

  249. Sylvia (My Attempt at Balanced Living) says

    I LOVE broccoli but spinach comes in a close second especially for use in smoothies and pasta.

  250. Emily says

    My Favorite Green veggie…HmmmmNot sure I could pick just one…Broccolli,Kale,Zucchini,Spinach- I love them all!

  251. Jade C says

    Hi Katie,
    My favourite green vegetable has to be broccoli – steamed, stir-fried, roasted.. I love this veggie!! Plus it’s pretty high in protein ..for a vegetable 😉
    Jade C.

  252. Jessica C. says

    I have an answer for both! My favorite green veggie is definitely spinach. I incorporate it into almost everything and especially smoothies. I would use the Chocolate Silk greens to boost up my most favorite smoothie, Mint-chocolate chip. Yum yum! Thanks for the awesome recipe and giveaway!

  253. Taylor says

    Brussel sprouts. Hands down. I used to choose brussel sprouts over other options such as goldfish, granola bars, etc. when I was little. Apparently my mom had to have a stash in the freezer for backup purposes, just in case I went through the fresh ones in the fridge. I meant business. Needless to say, I still love them!

  254. Michelle says

    My favorite cooked green vegetable is asparagus and raw vegetable is spinach. I would love to try this to make smoothies and other things. I also think it would be a way to sneak veggies into my kids!

  255. Rebecca says

    My favorite green veggie is kale! I’m loving kale chips lately! I would use the Barlean’s Chocolate Silk in my chocolate avocado pudding, smoothies and raw ice creams. Yum! I hope I win!

  256. Lisa says

    I would say asparagus, should be sprouting in my garden soon! Can’t wait…until then the Barlean’s Green Chocolate Silk would be wonderful! 🙂

  257. Danni (Healthy Kitschy Vegan) says

    My favourite green veggie is…broccoli, kale, or spinach. I can’t choose! I love all three of them so much! AND roasted brussels sprouts!

    As for how I’d use the powder…I’d mix it into smoothies. add it to tofu pudding, and mix it into my oat bran! Yum!

  258. Sarah says

    What green vegetable don’t I like? The one I use most because it’s so versatile is probably spinach. I put it in green smoothies, add it to tofu scramble; use it in green salads… the list is endless. I LOVE CHOCOLATE so taking greens and chocolate together would be a daily usage in my kitchen. Either way, I can’t wait to try it. Thanks!

  259. Faith says

    Just one favorite green? I guess I’d say asparagus…or broccoli, or avocado, or green beans. I think I have a problem.

    I’d love to try this in my oatmeal, and banana yogurt smoothies 🙂

  260. mc says

    while i don’t realy like the taste, i’d say spinach is my favorite- you can add it to most anything (smoothies too!) and it doesn’t have much taste when combined… gotta love that 🙂

  261. Amy Rock says

    Favorite green veggie would have to be green beans! Spinach is good too though! I would use this in smoothies/shakes and pancakes…

  262. monica a says

    My favorite green veggie is definitely broccoli! I could eat it all day long 🙂 I would use the powder in my oatmeal for some extra nutrition and then in my banana + pumpkin + spinach smoothie of course! 🙂

  263. Nicole says

    my favorite green is spinach…so versatile! I found your blog after doing some research on lactose free diets (my daughter and husband don’t do well with dairy)…love all your recipes and I can’t wait to try more of them!

  264. Laura says

    Dear katie,
    I love the sound of this smoothie! Ive never before heard of this powder, but it sure sounds good. I think I would use it exactly as you did or maybe try making brownies with it. 🙂
    My favourite green vegetable probably is the cucumber, but I wouldnt use that in a smoothie. 😉

    Loula

  265. Janice says

    My favorite green vegetables are spinach and brocolli!! I eat them almost EVERYDAY. If I was to win this, i would definitely mix it with my banana oatmeal or my afternoon smoothie on a hot day!

  266. Jennifer Bates says

    I would love a Chocolate product that makes great smoothies. Better yet that it would hello me get some leafy greens in, I am always falling shot on the groupp.

  267. Ashley says

    Spinach would be at the top of my list, mainly because of it’s versatility. I love it raw — in a salad or blended in a smoothie. It’s also great on a white pizza or with pasta and a cashew cream sauce.

  268. Robin says

    My fave green veggie- spinach!! I add to to smoothies in the AM, or cook it down to add to an egg beater wrap with flatbread. I also really like broccoli. 🙂 As for the powder, I drink smoothies a lot, and I am a chocoholic, so it’d be perfect for me.

  269. CJ says

    Favorite green – arugula! And I’d use the powder for those emergency chocolate cravings… and probably as a post workout drink!

  270. Amanda says

    I love asparagus! And kale is a new favorite.

    I do fall short on my daily vegetable intake. It’s not that i don’t like vegetables. I love them. I just tend to snack on fruit. Thanks for posting about the product. I’ve tried an organic greens powder once before but I was not a fan. I’ll have to give this one a try.

  271. Kristi says

    I’m loving snap peas lately…they have sweet, satisfying crunch and remind me that spring is almost here! 🙂

  272. Marlee @ SweetHealthNut.com says

    Hey Katie!

    I absolutely adore Kale because of its versatility and high-density nutritional value. I love making Kale chips by topping pieces of Kale with oil and nutritional yeast and popping it into the oven. I also always add Kale to my smoothies – it blends with frozen fruits extremely well.

    If I got this giant container of Barleans Chocolate Silk I would start making some chocolate-flavoured smoothies, which I have never actually made! I make green + fruit smoothies every morning but I’m sure I’d love the chocolate variety (being a chocoholic and all… lol). I also think it would be a great way to get all of the nutrients I need to compliment my vegetarian diet.

    Take care 🙂

    Marlee

  273. Dannette says

    I would LOVE to use this in Texas Sheet Cake. Am hosting mom’s day this year and that’s on the menu. I’ll have to “practice” between now and then. Great site, Katie. Love it.

  274. michele says

    Hi Katie~this is the first time I am leaving a comment on your site,even though I’ve been following for several months. I just recently started getting healthy. You are such an inspiration! I have only tried a couple of your recipes & all have been de~lish!
    My fav green veggie is spinach! I wish I could say that sometimes I eat too many veggies, but definitely not the case for me….yet! I am going to try this green powder in hopes of getting more of the veggie benefits now! Thanks for your blog~I am so glad I stumbled upon it! 🙂

  275. Kathleen says

    Fav veggie of all time is spinach—broccoli. Even as a kid I devoured it! 🙂 And this powder would be a great addition to chocolate-ify any of my post-workout smoothies!

  276. Susan Sanchez says

    Hmmm…I would use Chocolate silk in almost everything that called for cocoa powder. As far as a fav green veggie? I don’t know. Haven’t met a green veggie I didn’t like. If I had to choose, I would go with kale

  277. Sharon M says

    I like all greens. I like to cook with spinach. I have been struggling with the taste of a protein powder smoothie. Maybe this would solve the problem. I would sure love to try it!

  278. Tanya @ Dine, Dash, and Deadlift says

    Hmm, I love most all green vegetables. Zucchini, Brocolli, Green Bell Peppers, Spinach, etc. Bring them on!

  279. Michele says

    I’d have to say my favorite green veggie is Asparagus! I love it roasted with some olive oil, salt and pepper!

  280. Laura Baker says

    I enjoy sprouts! Like bean sprouts and sunflower sprouts 🙂
    At the beginning of this month I made the decision to have an animal free lifestyle. It has been a fun change (your recipes help SO MUCH since I’m a chocoholic) but I do think that I should incorporate something like Barlean’s into my diet since I’m often flying out of the house to get to school on time 🙂 Thanks Katie!

  281. Rachel B says

    Leafy greens are my favorites, but I can’t pick just one so I have to say collards, kale, chard, spinach (can’t wait to try your green ice cream) and the non-leafy broccoli. Runners-up are asparagus, cabbage, romaine lettuce, and green beans.

  282. Karena says

    Favorite green vegetable would be sugar snap peas at the moment! Makes me think of summer. I’d use the powder similarly to how you did. We are new to no-dairy and I’m experimenting with all kinds of “new.” This would definitely be new!

  283. Ebony says

    I LOVE BROCCOLI! I love it in curries, stir-fries, stews, soups, pastas, raw (with hummos is spectacular), boiled, roasted, ANYWAY POSSIBLE! They’re just yum.
    And to the person who said cucumber, I’m sorry to inform you but cucumber’s a fruit. 😉

  284. Verena says

    Green aspargus and collard greens are my favorite vegs…. Or yellow bellpeppers, … Or zucchini? I dont know, vegetables are just…. – yumm! I would combine the powder with mixed, overnight soaked oats to have some kind of chocolate batter for breakfast 🙂 hugs, v.

  285. Renee says

    Can you dip vegetables is chocolate? If you can, then I don’t think there could be one that I don’t like. But seeing as how I’ve yet to try that, I’d have to say my favorite vegetable is broccoli.

    Thanks!

  286. Heather says

    my fave green veggie broccoli! especially roasted. and brussel sprouts. choosing one is hard!!

    i’d use this powder in my smoothies and/or overnight oats 🙂

  287. Gi says

    Oh, Katie, Katie…. I love the way you manage your blog! And your attitude toward product-sponsorship (does this word even exist? xD).
    My favorite vegetable is carrot… I can’t enter with a non-green vegetable, can I? But I don’t care, I can’t deny my true love : D

    (ps: about the newsletter: don’t know if it is a feature which was also I the previous ones, but in this one clicking on the photos doesn’t send you to the post, but to a large version of the photo itself! Just thought I should have told you 🙂 )
    Oh and btw, great photos! I love the black background.

  288. Roxie says

    My favorite green vegetable is… all of them! Asparagus is definitely at the top of the list. I started eating asparagus when I was five. We had just moved in to a new house and there was a little asparagus patch in the back yard. I was so intrigued by the little spears, and even more intrigued when my mom told me we could eat them. So began my love affair with gardening. And vegetables. )

  289. Leslie Wingate says

    Asparagus for sure! The kids jump up and down when I bring it home like I just brought home candy. 😉

  290. kelly says

    favorite green veggie..hmmm, a big box of herb mixed lettuce. Love me some salad. =0) The first thing I would make, your recipe of course and not just saying that either. That smoothie looks amazing and I LOVE them thick and creamy.

    cooperkelly4 at yahoo dot com

  291. Dawn says

    Favorite veggie – baby Bok Choy – Yummy!!
    I could see using this powder in brownie recipes, cookie recipes, protein shakes or anything chocolate!!

  292. Cathy says

    My favorite green veggie right now is Brussels Sprouts. Wow. Never thought I’d say that. I have a new recipe for roasting them though and YUM!!

    This smoothie looks delicious btw!! 🙂

  293. Jessica says

    I love adding spinach to everything! Well not everything. But lots of things! I’ve discovered asparagus can be very tasty too. Oh and brocoli… except in my teeth.

  294. Melinda says

    spinach in salads or cooked love it .. mixed greens,collard greens,broccoli , green apples…
    I would love to try this in a smoothie.

  295. Chris says

    I love all kinds of green veges – snap peas are my current favorite.
    I think I might like to try this powder in the coconut whipped cream – yum!

  296. Laura says

    Broccoli…or cucumbers. Although very hard to pick!! I would LOVE to have this silk smoothie as a bedtime snack….when I am craving chocolate and trying hard to not eat something horrible for me!! I would also use it in smoothies for my kids. They love mommy’s smoothies, and I love to trick them with what I put in them! (avocado, spinach,ect).

  297. kristine says

    Love, love spinach! You can add it to everything from chocolate smoothies (with Barlean’s Chocolate silk, hehe) or stirred in with a hot vegan soup. mmmmh. It’s got style, it’s versatile ; )

  298. Melissa says

    I could never play favorites with veggies–I love them all! I would definitely put this in a smoothie–been looking for something to change mine up!

  299. Stacy says

    My all time favorite green veggies is Brussels Sprouts 😉 Could eat them every day if my family didn’t gripe about it.

  300. Amanda says

    My favorite green vegetable is spinach! I love spinach in smoothies, salads, omelets, and just about any other way you could possibly prepare spinach.

  301. Emma says

    Hey Katie! Can’t wait to try this recipe! My favorite vegetable is spinach–it can be used in everything! If I win I will definitely use it to make your smoothie recipe and other great smoothies!

    By the way, I also just started a veg blog. It’s not much now, but if you ever want to check it out that would be awesome! http://barefootbaker.blog.com/ Happy sunday!

  302. Miranda @ Miranda's Munchies says

    SPINACH! And if I won the giveaway I’d make this smoothie because it looks mighty fine!

  303. Bethy says

    Hi Katie,
    I’m from the UK and L.O.V.E your blog!
    This product looks fab and if i won the supply i would enjoy smoothies each day to help me get big and strong for the little baby i have (growing) on the way!
    All greens are good, but my favourites are cabbage, celery, spinach, peppers, cucumber- pure YUM – next on my list is a Vita-mix to whizz it all up together, thanks for the inspiration x

  304. Anna says

    i really like kale! i haven’t included it in a smoothie yet because i don’t think my blender can handle it.

  305. Rachel says

    Favorite green veggie…zucchini! How I’d use this chocolate silk greens powder? To trick my 4-yr-old into getting more veggies. She’ll eat them for me…but it helps to have tricks up my sleeves!

  306. Tess says

    Fave green veggie would have to be sauteed fresh spinach with garlic and olive oil. Yum. I would use this powder in my homemade fruit smoothies when I have them for breakfast (about 1-2 times a week).

  307. Ashley says

    Greetings from one of your new followers! My favorite green veggie is broccoli. If I won this giveaway, I’d use the powder to make a smoothie on mornings when I’m trying to fly out the door to get to work.

    Ashley

  308. Kelli says

    My favorite green vegetable is spinach. It’s easy to sneak into things… But man I’d love a good chocolate option for my morning smoothies! Great giveaway!

  309. Stacy says

    MMM, this looks tasty and like something else I need to try. My favorite green veggie is asparagus grilled or baked with olive oil and a little seasoning. YUM!

  310. Cille says

    Kale, brussel sprouts, and spinach. I would use this powder with my smoothies or oatmeal every morning for breakfast.

  311. Liesl says

    My favorite green veggie is probably Brussels sprouts, sauted in olive oil with mushrooms. But I also love fresh spinach or grilled asparagus. I would definitely use the powder for milkshakes – yum! 🙂

  312. Rachel S M says

    Favorite green vegetable is broccoli or spinach…they are the best! They both go so well with pasta and a creamy sauce. And I love how you can add spinach to smoothies and not even taste it! Ha!

    If I won the chocolate powder, I might try to add it to my cottage cheese-mouse for breakfast, stir it in with chocolate cookies or brownies, or maybe even go for green hot chocolate! I love hot chocolate!

  313. Lisa says

    I have to choke down most green vegetables unless they are roasted or disguised in an omelet. Which is why I would really like to try the Barlean’s powder! 🙂

  314. KT says

    My favorite green vegetables are spinach and kale. Do cilantro, basil and sage count? I love those too! If I won this I would make healthy treats for my little ones. They are not so excited about greens as I. Thanks for the entry opportunity!

  315. Moni Meals says

    Love this shake recipe! I love a thick shake always…HAS to be thick!

    I would use it in shake, oatmeal, pancakes, baking, you get the picture. 😉

    Hope you had a nice St. Pattis!

  316. Anna Lynn says

    Sugar Snap peas will always hold a special place in my heart!

    I’d love to experiment with this! Maybe mixed into oatmeal? Thanks for sharing the recipe! 😀

  317. Victoria says

    I’m a huge fan of green shake mixes…I’ve tried a couple varieties but I haven’t found one I really liked yet. Of course whole foods are more nutritious than powders, but I’m definitely one of those people who ‘routinely fall short’ in the veggie department.

    That being said, my favorite veggie is baby spinach, because its probably one of the only vegetables versatile enough to be put into things like desserts (insert your awesome spinach ice cream recipe here!). I also sneak it into pizza dough, pretzel dough, dips, salads, shakes, soups, meatballs, pesto…you name it!

  318. Kate M. says

    Katie!! I am writing in for both me and my roommate!! We LOVE your blog because we both are obsessed with chocolate 🙂 And we are both runners, so we especially love that your desserts are so healthy! I think my favorite green vegetable is edamame, although I am as much a veggie girl as I am a chocolate girl! But we will have to try adding chocolate veggie powder in our long-run-recovery smoothies…nothing like chocolate after 12 miles!! Thanks for writing and KEEP COOKING! 😀

  319. Sarah says

    Fresh spinach….ate it all the time when pregnant with both my girls and now they both love it too!!
    I would use the powder to make one minute chocolate cakes and in my oatmeal! Yummy!

  320. shay says

    what if my favorite green veggie isn’t a veggie. My favorite greens are avocados and olives, but if I have to play it by the rules it’s a tie broccoli or green beans. Both a great raw or tossed with roasted garlic and olive oil. or just simply steamed or tossed into a stir fry.

    Excuse me I think I need to go eat something green…

  321. Laurie says

    Growing up I hated Asparagus but now that I have improved my palate and have a taste for more healthy foods I LOVE Asparagus!!!

    Also I would love to try the Greens Chocolate Silk in lots of the smoothies and shakes I make and maybe even in cookies, cakes or brownies! I guess I would have to experiment….. but isn’t that half the fun anyways! 🙂

  322. Katie says

    I love spinach in green machine smoothies! I’d love to try the powder out with a variety of other fruits–bananas, raspberries, whatever! Looks delish

  323. mona says

    If I were to win this product, I’d add it into a smoothie with an extra ripe banana, some spinach for some extra green power and almond milk. Yum!

  324. Erica says

    I really enjoy spinach, pretty much all leafy greens except the really bitter Asian ones like tatsoi.
    Well since I have no problem getting in my greens,I would use it for my picky 2 year old son. If he even see’s a trace of green color in his food he makes a huge mess picking it out or he just won’t touch it all together. I would make him chocolate shakes and especially chocolate popsicles! I would even experiment with some kind of raw chocolate treats. What about using it in your chocolate rice crispies recipe?
    Needless to say it would be well used in my household. ( I also have a 4 year old boy but he munches lettuce like a rabbit!)

  325. Marilyn Perry says

    I love raw spinach and green beans. Smoothies are my passion and Green Chocolate Silk sounds like a fabulous addition to my ingredients! 🙂

  326. Samantha says

    i loove green veggies..but i think my favorites would have to be peas, or spinach leaves or broccoli! or maybe edemame if that counts!

  327. laura says

    My favorite green is spinach…..however, my son won’t touch anything green – so I’d use this powder to get his greens in him leveraging his love of Chocolate!

  328. Melanie Smith says

    My favorite would have to be…broccoli! You can either steam it, saute it, or eat them raw. They’re good for recovering from bruises, too (which I get a lot of from doing karate!). I’m wondering, though, if it would be a good idea to try and make them into broccoli nuggets…. Would they burn too easily??

  329. Christina says

    Yum! I’ve tried to find this infamous green powder! No luck, darn it. I would love to use it in making my boyfriend’s protein shakes- he uses ovaltine right now! And my favorite green veggie- asparagus for sure! Delish!

  330. Yvette Kane says

    I would stir some into my cherry yogurt to make Cherry chocolate cordial flavor. Yum! And I would make your shake above. Love berry and chocolate. O.K. just love chocolate!

  331. Rebecca Wright says

    I have so many favorite green veggies! Broccoli or spinach tho I guess! If I won I’d make chocolate coffee, hot, iced or frozen! Hot diggity (or cold-diggity lol)

  332. Kim says

    My favorite is probably green beans or raw fresh green peas or spinach. However I am still working on getting all of my greens in everyday so this would be a great addition to my diet

  333. Dana says

    I would love to try the powder in this recipe! Looks so good! My favorite green veggie would have to be Kale or Brussels Sprouts as long as they aren’t too bitter love to roast them with olive oil and smoked sea salt.

  334. Nikita says

    I eat copious amount of spinach… I also really love kale. Those are great for smoothies, but I’d have to say my favorite green veggie “as is” is sugar snap peas! In stir fries or hummus preferably though 🙂

  335. Betsy says

    I love spinach! I eat the nutritional powerhouse almost daily! But these chocolaty grens would still be a great bost for those days when I really want a treat 🙂

  336. Laura says

    Favourite green veggie? Broccoli and kale all the way!! I go through at least 4 stalks a week and I need a dehydrator because I can’t afford to support my kale chip habit from grocery stores lol!

  337. purplegirl says

    My favorite green vegetable? ALL OF THEM!!! I guess if I had to pick one it’d be kale. I’ve been known to devour entire bunches of kale in a single sitting. Like every day. My roommates hate me for taking up so much room in our fridge with all my greens. Hehehe.

  338. purplegirl says

    Oh, I don’t know if this counts as a second entry or not, but it’s worth a try. I’d mi that lovely-looking powder into oatmeal and smoothies… And maybe add it to my giant piles of kale stir fry =P

  339. JM Langhammer says

    I <3 Brussels sprouts! I also like making green smoothies & it sounds like this might be yummy for those too.

  340. AnneW says

    Favorite green veggie is lettuce! Kinda boring, but I go through at least 2 bags a week! It’s so versatile and I make a different salad every day!

  341. Chelsea says

    Mm, looks delicious as always! I’d say my favorite green vegetable is spinach, but that’s partly because it gives things (like the biscuits we had this morning) such a lovely color when it’s all blended up. 😉 Flavor/texture-wise, I adore zucchini.

  342. Mara says

    My favorite green vegetable is KALE! I love it!! And I would love to try this powder, probably in smoothies, or brownies. Or any dessert, really.

  343. Kate says

    BOK CHOY!
    It’s been a while since I made vegan pad thai, but there’s nothing better than a spicy, crunchy thai baby bok choy 😉

    I’d love to try the greens! I use Vega supplement powder right now (chocolate, obviously) and I’m curious about expanding my “powder-experience”, but being a student it’s hard to fork over $30-$40 for a tub of product I might not love!

    Thanks for the blog CCK, your desserts have been a saving grace!

  344. Sarah Spann says

    I use chocolate powder almost everyday, whether on top of strawberries as a snack, mixed in peanut butter for a yummy chocolate version, or in protein shakes I drink every day after my runs! So I would use it every single day in my shakes for sure 🙂
    Oh and my favorite green vegetable would have to be either spinach or broccoli! 🙂

  345. Joslyn Ching says

    I love love love peas, broccoli and brussel sprouts! My favorite green of all time has to be a three-way tie between peas, cabbage and brussel sprouts though…I could eat them all daily, and never grow tired of them!

    As for the chocolate powder, I’d love to try it in your chocolate fudge pie! Or even use it to make a chocolate sauce…green chocolate sauce? As long as it tastes good, I think I’m all for it!

  346. Daineen Drayton says

    I love to make whole wheat crepes. What would be better to have chocolate crepes covered with honey or agave with fresh strawberries on the side. Yummy!

  347. Melanie says

    Favorite green veggie: asparagus:)
    But sadly I rarely get to incorporate it or other delicious veggies into my diet (live in a nonhealthy food family, very frustrating for someone who loves to eat as healthy as she can..). I’d use the powder in my daily protein shake to give my diet that delicious green kick! And having it taste like chocolate? Even better! Its my one weakness, I have a small piece daily:)

  348. Rebecca says

    Broccoli or Cucumbers! I could easily eat all of my vegetable servings for the day with just those two alone!

  349. Albizia says

    I am divided between broccoli, spinach and nettle. Unfortunately, nettle is a little hard to find so I mostly eat spinach and broccoli. I think I am the only one interested in the bowl of steamed broccoli at a party 😀

  350. Cindy says

    I like okra, brussels sprouts, and spinach. I would love to try these chocolate smoothies. I really love chocolate!

  351. Emily says

    My favorite green vegetable is definitely kale (this week!)
    And I would use this for smoothies and maybe mixed into my oatmeal or pancakes?! Sounds delicious!

  352. Liz says

    I loveeeee green snap peas!!!! 🙂 This Greens Chocolate powder would be good added to the banana bread pudding oatmeal recipe! YUmmmm!

  353. Barb says

    I am hesitant about getting greens from chocolate powder…my fav is spinich! But I’m willing to try anything that you endorse!

  354. Britt says

    That’s like picking a favorite child! I pile on the green veggies with almost every meal. Kale + broccoli + spinach + arugula + brussells + green beans +snap peas…

  355. Crystin says

    My Favorite Veggetable Is…BROCCOLI!!! I Love Broccoli, I Eat It Everyday! I Like It Steamed, Raw, With Dip, In Soup, In Salad, In Sandwiches, Roasted, On Pizza, Stir-Fried, With Cheese, And, Best Of All, With Other Veggies!!! Yum!!!

  356. Rachelle says

    I just recently decided to try kale and am loving that so far! I would use Barlean’s product in smoothies, muffins, pancakes and probably even cookies and homemade ice cream! Something with a chocolate flavor like this has many possibilities!!

    You and Barlean’s are wonderful for this giveaway! Thank you!

  357. Dawning says

    Swiss Chard is my favorite greenie. I’d love to freeze this smoothie into ice pop molds and make summertime treats!

  358. Dominique says

    If I had this chocolate green powder, I’d use it as a supplement in my daily protein shakes in addition to getting my whole greens through raw or steamed veggies… as an athlete and vegetarian I want to be as nutritionally well-rounded as possible! (Plus it has chocolate which enourages me to use it! <3) 🙂

  359. Sherry says

    YUM!!!! I would use that in my smoothies and anything else it will go in.
    I love Kale, spinach, cucumbers… I don’t really know my fav……Thanks

  360. Mary Sue says

    Spinach is my favorite green veggie. Frozen chopped, because it’s there when I want it to be and don’t have to throw it away because I didn’t use it in time.

  361. emily says

    I LOVE spinach and add it to everything. Chocolate pb banana spinach smoothies after a run are amazing! I would use this powder to create a thicker, even more filling smoothie or use in for a refreshing afternoon snack.

  362. Kate says

    I love spinach! I know most people are put of by it, but I love it so much that I even request it for my birthday meal. Just sauteed in a little olive oil, fresh garlic, and sea salt 🙂

  363. Angie says

    My favorite green veggie would have to be…hmm, any kind of greens (kale, beet greens) sauteed with garlic and butter. I think this powder would be fabulous in “sneaky brownies”.

  364. Brandi says

    Hmm.. favorite green veggie, I think that would be sugar snap peas. I can eat like, 2 cups of them at one sitting. I also love spinach. I’m eating some with dinner right now! I would use it for a healthy way to indulge myself.

  365. Hollie Cardenas says

    My favorite green vegetable is broccoli – but with great websites lik this one, have learned to love spinach too, and it’s quickly becoming my 2nd favorite green. 🙂

  366. Chase Young says

    My favorite leafy green would have to be a tie between broccoli and kale. My husband is very allergic to dairy and so is my brother, so I love having a great source of recipes 🙂

  367. Claire says

    Peas! I love them, they’re so sweet and cute. Plus having frozen ones makes life so much easier. I’d try using this in my tofu pudding- I think it would be lovely & give it an extra nutritional hit!

  368. chrystal says

    My favorite green is… Im going with a Kale. It is so beautiful! I love all greens.. I would use the mix mid-day for that needed boost of energy and burst of vitamins and minerals.. 😀 Greens Rock!

  369. Dawn says

    I’d use it in a smoothie to replace the brand I currently use. I drink one before and after my cardio workout! Sounds yummy! 🙂

  370. Emma says

    I love pretty much ALL green vegetables– it’s hard to choose a favorite! I guess my all-time #1 pick would be pickling cucumbers straight off my vines, 5 feet from my front door, but only if they aren’t all bitter at the ends.

  371. Aisatsana says

    Cabbage! …or maybe broccoli, oh, and brussel sprouts are awesome…and so are snap peas, and green beans, and spinach, and green peppers, and cucumbers…
    Heh..I just like green veggies!!!

  372. Stephanie H. says

    I can’t decide between spinach and broccoli, so I am choosing both! I would put this in my smoothies or have my husband use it at work. When he is at work (aka away from my control….wahahahaha) he doesn’t always get the nutrition he needs and this would be fast and easy for him to use. Thank you for all of the inspiration and creative ideas!

  373. Beth Newby says

    I would LOVE to try this product! As soon as I started reading your description my thought was “I gotta Google this to find out how much it is!” So convince me with a free trial, they’ll be glad you did! 😉 BTW, I LOVE your blog…I found it while on vacation and can’t wait to get home to try most of your recipes. I’m a “chocolate girl” too…who happened to lose 45 lbs last year, yes, keeping chocolate in my menu! Last brag…went from pushing a size 14 to comfortably wearing a size 4, at that’s at age 55. I’m smaller than I was in high school. Okay, I have to rest my arm, I’ve pulled it patting myself on the back. Keep up the great posts Katie!

  374. Anonymous says

    Fresh green beans or roasted broccoli make my mouth water!

    Thanks for this site – it has SAVED me when it comes to trying to find healthy (and healthIER) desserts! I bring your things to everything I go to, and never tell people what’s in them till after they’ve tried it. People are always so surprised that chickpeas and dates could taste SO GOOD!

  375. Jenny says

    Kale is my favorite this week. I told my daughters our new family motto is “EAT KALE” but the youngest refuses to get on board (she’ll eat it, just won’t say it). I would use the powder in our smoothies. We sometimes use cocoa, but the added nutrients would be great!
    Thanks!

  376. HC says

    I love kale! Maybe I can make this chocolate silk greens into smoothie along with spinach or swiss chard and sprinkle baked kale on top of it! The main reason I love your blog is I’m always learning something creative and new from you like this Chocolate Silk greens. Never heard of it but sounds great! Thanks for this info!

  377. Wendy Y says

    Favourite green vegetable? broccoli, kale (for kale chips!), gai lan, bok choy (well, that one has some green on it!)… 🙂

  378. Joshua says

    kale is one of my favorite vegetables, ive never used this product before would be great in a post ride vegie,fruit, protein smoothy ^_^.

  379. Aubrey says

    Favorite green veggie has to be asparagus. YUUUUMMM.
    and i would totally make chocolate banana peanut butter smoothies for after a run.

  380. Natasha says

    Spinach is my favorite green vegetable. I would use this powder in my morning after-workout-before-school smoothie (which includes spinach). I bet it would turn some really yucky color, but it would taste great!

  381. Stephanie says

    Kale…. Definitely kale. I love drink green smoothies and I know Barlean’s powder would make them extra de-lish 😉

  382. Dana says

    Hmmmmmm? Do I have to choose? Well, I suppose it would be a tie between asparagus and spinach. They usually end up together when I cook them but I will also accept them individually. However, I must say that these chocolate greens sound like they could be a new favorite. 😉

  383. Susan says

    I made a great smoothie this morning with almond milk, frozen peaches and fresh spinach, so today my favorite green is: SPINACH;)

  384. Leslie Boyce says

    Favorite green veggie? SPINACH! I can throw it in everything. I would love some Barlean’s Chocolate Silk because we are trying to get to a healthier way of eating in our family and my 11 year old WILL eat chocolate!

  385. Ami says

    I can’t decide! Spinach/ Rainbow chard for smoothies, kale and broccoli for stirfry… I’ll eat any vegetable, green or not haha 🙂

  386. Yolanda says

    I love romaine lettuce, spring mix, poblano peppers,jalapenos, green beans, squash, spinach, cucumbers, its taken alot of effort to learn to eat green. I would like to try smoothies as meal replacements, so it would be great if I win.

  387. Sue says

    Hmmm…spinach, kale, broccoli would be my 3 top contenders!

    Love your site, so glad I found it. The mint chocolate chip smoothie is SO great, I hope St. Patricks Day can be celebrated every day!!!

  388. Liz says

    I think I’d mix it with some avocado for a pudding or frozen banana for some “soft-serve.”
    Keep the recipes coming! XOXO

  389. Jessica Phillips says

    Oh my goodness.. This looks so perfect! I love all vegetables but I am a full time student/vegan so find it’s sometimes difficult to get in all of my leafy greens!! I would put this powder in literally everything…I’d love to try it in your Raw chocolate fudge pie, or maybe even the raw brownies so I could snack on them anywhere! I’d certainly never get bored experimenting with all of your amazing recipes 😀

  390. Deanna says

    Yes, yes there is a math symbol for way greater than. I think it’s two of the arrows, but I’m not sure off the top of my head. I know it exists, because sometimes my math teachers use it.

    I’m not sure what my favorite green would be. I guess maybe spinach? Or a good salad spring mix of greens.

  391. Carolina says

    Um I don’t have one–yet, but I like spinach and kale is pretty awesome. I need some magic veggie vitamins. C:

  392. Mary says

    Ooh…I’d love to make a giant chocolate chocolate chip cookie (the ones with garbanzo beans and oats) with this. Yummy!

  393. Kelly Jones says

    My favorite green vegetable at the moment is Kale. Just can’t eat enough kale salad. If I win the Barleans Chocolate Silk I think I would use it to make my chocolate chip protein cookies.

  394. Annmaie says

    I say spinach!! The ultimate super veggie!! Started training at the gym but this time with a trainer. She presses the importance of eating plenty and getting enough protein. Only thing is that I won’t eat the typical body builder type of proteins like beef and chicken. Unless its free range, grass fed, etc. Being stationed in Germany products like this are hard to come by and require a wait for the next farmer’s market and a hefty euro check. I also do not tolerate whey or soy proteins therefore have to make up my own protein shake concoction at home to take with me. I throw handfuls of greens in all my hemp protein shakes! This can be time consuming and this product seems like it would be right up my alley as far as personal goals with nutrition. Other trainers (including mine) doubt my dietary lifestyle and think that what I am trying to accomplish in the gym will never yield results on a fruits, veggies and proteins from mostly plant and nut sources diet. I’d like to prove them VERY wrong!! Cheers!

  395. Emi says

    Favorite green vegetable? Can I say ‘all’? Well, nearly.
    I love celery, and as spring approaches I am really craving asparagus. Ooh, and Brussels sprouts…
    Can I put this in Everything? It sounds like a great I-just-got-a-new-painful-wire-in-my-braces dessert. 😀

  396. Linda L says

    First Katie, I love your site! Your recipes are pinned to my healthy recipes Pinterest page and shared with many friends who are on the path to eating healthier! Thank you.

    I started down the path myself just over a year ago and lost 74 pounds. In the past 400 days I have eaten spinach almost every day! I go through 3 large containers per week! So my answer has to be spinach.

  397. Maureen says

    I have been looking at sites for powdered or capsulized greens… Have not seen this particular product, but if it’s chocolate – I’m in!

  398. Ariel says

    My favorite green vegetables would most likely be broccoli, spinach, or green beans. I also don’t know what I’d use this powder in. Maybe for smoothies, oatmeal, or homemade ice cream 🙂

  399. Beth Roberts Evason says

    Being from the deep South favorite green vegetalbes are greens and asparagus! Just ordered product to try for breakfast smoothies …THANKs

  400. Mila says

    My favourite green vegetable? too many 😀 probably cucumber and broccoli, hard to decide^^

    And I’d use it in Protein-Pancakes in the morning, for this recipe, for milkshakes in generale, maybe i’d try to incorporate them in your fudge-recipes to make them more “vegetable-like” ^^

  401. Mila says

    Noooo, sorry, wrong mail-adress, i forgot the dot, my keybord is kinda crazy today 🙂

  402. Stace says

    Asparagus! Or brocoli! Steamed, or in salad, or… Asparagus! And I might try these in the chocolate on no bake cookies cause I can get enough chocolate (and since my batch turned out very greasy hahah) and heck, to quote that old lady on that hot sauce commercial ” I(‘d) put this $&!# on (in?) everything!”

  403. Sandy B says

    My favorite green is spinach; it’s so versatile and good for you. And I’d use that mix for smoothies ’cause I’m a morning green smoothie girl! Thanks.

  404. Mila says

    Nooo, wrong mail-adress, there’s a missing dot! Sorry, my keybord is kinda crazy today 🙂

  405. Allison says

    I absolutely love green beans, especially when I’ve picked them fresh out of the garden. YUM! And as for the powder, I’d probably use it to make frozen “ice cream” pops for my kiddos! They are the ones that aren’t getting enough veggies!

  406. Mallory says

    I would use the green powder exactly how you did! Perhaps I would use ice instead of strawberries and add peanut butter? And I may blend some spinach in there just to get even MORE!!! I guess spinach is my favorite green as well… I put it in everything i can! 🙂

  407. Lynn says

    My favorite green veggie is Brocciflower…not certain of the spelling but it’s a combo of broccoli and cauliflower…it looks like a bright St Patty’s day” green cauliflower..it tastes a bit sweet and a bit nutty…very good roasted…bet it would be tasty in some of your chocolate treats so I would make a smoothy with the powder and see!

    I have to go with baby spinach bc it is so versatile. I use it in my morning smoothies. I would love to try this stuff. I am in a region that is VERY hard to find healthy alternatives, so any chance I get to put my hands on something I’ve not tried, I do it! 😀

  409. Laine says

    Favorite green veggie?? Eek! It’s a three-way tie between broccoli, brussel sprouts, and kale. Arugula is pretty high up there as well!

  410. Morgan says

    Favorite green veg: definitely kale. If I won the powder I’d probably stir it into oatmeal or blend it seperately from my usual smoothie and make a layered parfait-style breakfast with some crunchy bran buds and cacao on top!

  411. Amanda C says

    Green veggie favorite would definitely be zuchinni! I am pretty sure I spelled it wrong because it looks that way. I do love it

  412. Karina says

    My favorite green vegetable is cabbage. I really love a creamy coleslaw with a crunchy topping like nuts or seeds.

  413. Lori Smith says

    Hi Katie,
    My favorite green veggie is probably zucchini right now, and I would use that Barlean’s powder to try to get more nutrition in my 12 year old son who is eating me out of house and home right now.
    Thanks for another delicious recipe to try!

  414. Paige says

    My favorite veggie is butternut/acorn/buttercup squash! Squash addict 4lyfe. I would use the powder to make hot chocolate or even in other baking 🙂

  415. Shannon says

    My fav green veggie would have to be brussell sprouts!! I love them roasted!! I would use the powder in my green spinach smoothie!!

  416. Tonya says

    I love zucchini! And I love making smoothies with powders! Banana, chocolate and peanut butter is an amazing mix!!

  417. Tiffany says

    My fav green veggie is roasted brussel sprouts, yum! My kids, however, are not big veggie fans, so I would use this to sneak some in! 😉

  418. Jane says

    I spent two years of college dorm life living on spinach (and tomatoes) for lunch and dinner. I’m still not sick of it! 🙂

  419. Jan J. says

    I am obsessed with bok choy! Love spinach and Napa cabbage as well. I would love to try this in my smoothies! Where I actually put spinach for green smoothies but sometimes don’t have fresh spinach.

  420. Heather Smith says

    I like greens, but don’t eat enough of them. I am training myself to eat healthy(which is why I am following your website!) I would love to try this…I think even *I* would love it. 🙂 Thanks for the opportunity to win.

  421. Jessie says

    Spinach is my favorite! It’s so good for you and so easy to cook and add to so many foods. I’ve recently discovered how easily you can hide spinach in a fruit smoothie too! I recently went vegetarian, and spinach has been a lifesaver.

  422. heather says

    This product sounds great, I’d love to try it! As a busy mother of 3 I don’t always eat as healthy as I’d like and try to fit in some healthy smoothies, this sound perfect for that! My favorite green vegetable is broccoli!

  423. Tracy says

    We LOVE smoothies at our place and I am finally going to try spinach in them. I would LOVE this powder it would be great for my daughter running out the door to kindergarden.
    And Broccoli will always be my favorite veggie… with garlic, with butter, steamed.. with seasoning salt…. yummmmmm

    thanks for doing a giveaway Katie! I am a new follower to your blog and loving the recipes.

  424. Ashley says

    Favorite green is either zuchinni or spinach, I could eat either one any way, in any amount, raw or cooked. So good!
    If I won the chocolate powder I would make healthier green smoothies for my picky 2 and 1 year old’s without the bit too obvious green spinach bits floating amongst the ovaltine, lol.

  425. Sarah says

    My favorite green veggie is broccoli (and asparagus). I think I know what I’m going to have for dinner tonight, now.

  426. Kaylee says

    This looks great! I am terrible at picking just one favorite (brocolli, asparagus, spinach…), but I really like kale. I tired to make that my nickname once, but it never stuck. Oh well, it’s still a tasty veggie! 🙂

  427. Patti says

    Hi, my favorite green vege keeps changes–but always comes back to spinach. It’s in my a.m. Breakfast smoothie, lunch salad / sandwich, lasagna, soup, Mac & cheese, etc. I’d use the Barleans powder in a smoothie, brownie / muffin / cup cake, etc that I make — ice cream, too.

  428. Elyse says

    Favorite green veggie: either broccoli or brussel sprouts. Who am I kidding, I would eat anything green. Maybe use the powder in place of cocoa for a no bake cookie recipe? Turn it into something healthy!

  429. Sara says

    Oh also if you want to do WAY greater than, we use >> a lot in science.
    Like zucchini > velveeta, but chocolate >> zucchini. 🙂

  430. KellyB says

    hi
    Favortie green currently are cheezy kale chips. make them in the dehydrator and they turn out perfect every time.
    thanks

  431. Cassie says

    My favorite green veggie is broccoli steamed to crisp tender in a small amount of water and olive oil with one clove garlic crushed. Takes about 4 minutes to cook and is yummy! (Though not as yummy as chocolate!)
    I always add lots of green veggies to my smoothies and this would be way easier than cleaning and cutting all those veggies in the morning.

  432. Andy says

    Hi Katie!

    I am a die hard kale lover. Right now I can’t get enough of crispy coconut kale, mmmm so amazing! I would use this chocolate greens powder for maybe a chocolate pudding and definitely for a variety of smoothies

  433. Vanessa says

    Dealing with adrenal fatigue issues I try to get in as much greens and whole foods as possible. With that said I believe this product would be put to good use helping with energy levels and digestion.

  434. kristen says

    wow, a lot of comments!

    I make a smoothie for my lunch every day. I looooove spinach, and that is one ingredient that i put in my smoothie. It would be nice to switch it up a bit. I usually put strawberries or mixed berries, protien powder and a bit of almond extract.
    the chocolate would be a super add to my lunch!!!!!!
    YUM!!

    sincerely, Kristen 🙂

  435. Melissa says

    I just love iceberg lettuce! I know it is old-fashioned, but with a great dressing, it is a meal for me! Of course I love green veghies of any sort!
    I’d love to try the chocolate green, love to try anything new,

  436. Kate Curren says

    I have a new found love for kale, however fall short on eating right so would love to try this to help kept me aligned nutritionally

  437. Ursula Carter says

    Favorite green veggies are asparagus, spinach and broccoli. Wondering how these chocolate greens would taste in oatmeal?

  438. Sonja Christensen says

    My favourite green vegetable is asparagus so I start getting excited around this time of year because Ontario asparagus is coming soon!

  439. Jodi says

    Hmm my favorite green veggie…def roasted broccoli!!! And I’d love to try this powder out in some smoothies! 🙂

  440. Alicen Adams says

    My favorite green veggie is probably kale. I have it almost every morning in my smoothie. I love it in soup. I love it dried up. I just love it. Plain and simple!

  441. Amanda says

    Does edamame count? If not, probably fresh garden cucumbers.

    I would love to give this product a try with my 2 year old triplets who will do well with some spinach smoothies at times, but could a bigger boost of greens.

  442. Rachel's Cottage House says

    Oh, yum, yum, yum! I would love to win this so I could make this terrific looking smoothie… dreaming of the chocolate bliss right now, lol! Anyway, my favorite green veggie is PEAS! I love peas because they taste good alone, with butter, in a casserole, etc!

  443. Glori says

    I love Barleans products. This is VERY intriguing. I must try it.

    My favorite green veggie is Brussel Sprouts stir-fried in coconut oil and EVOO until lightly browned and then squeeze lime juice over the top – Delicious!!!!!! Even if you think you hate Brussel Sprouts, you will love this.

  444. Kianni says

    My favorite greeen vegetable (or at least the one I eat the most) is spinach! and yeah, I’m pretty sure I’d use that “Chocolate Silk” for a smoothie! (probably a mocha one actually)

  445. Nance says

    I think my favorite green is a toss up between spinach and baby kale. What would I do with this product?…the sky is the limit!

  446. Becky Bauer says

    Love all green vegetables and would use this because of recent colon surgery and having to drink a lot of smoothies and protein drinks to heal colon. Seriously fruits an vegetables are not my friend right now so this would help a lot.

  447. Natalie Waggoner says

    Fresh steamed broccoli is my fave. I would definately use this powder in my morning smoothie! Sounds delish.

  448. Cathy says

    My two favorite green vegetables are fresh spinach and kale that I juice every morning. So, if I would win the Barleans Green Chocolate Silk, I could change up my smoothie to something really decadent with chocolate in the morning. Yum!

  449. Katie H. says

    My favorite green vegetable is by far asparagus! I didn’t try it until a few years ago and now question why I didn’t try it sooner.

  450. Kayla says

    Lots of favorite leafy greens but I have to go with…KALE! 🙂 If I won Barleans Greens Chocolate Silk, I would, of course, enjoy the chocolately goodness myself but more importantly, use it to sneak more leafy nutrition into my husband and daughter’s diets!! My previously eat-anything-and-everything-healthy little girl has turned into a picky toddler. I ‘hide’ veggies in her food and keep offering them, but would love to try another tool to get her some more of that leafy goodness! 🙂

  451. Katie says

    Hmm, favorite green? Everytime I tell what my favorite something is, unless it the answer can be Dark Chocolate, then I always think of a better favorite later. So, hmm I like spinach, Romaine, green onion, is Basil a green vegetable? (I know, it’s an herb) I like green beverages, sometimes, broccoli, asparagus, brussel sprouts, fresh cucumbers, zucchini…
    Today, I say my favorite is Zucchini — baked in chocolate zucchini cake, using Barleans Greens Chocolate Silk powder. 🙂

  452. Kate says

    I would use this powder for cookies, cakes, and protein shakes for after I work out..I want my body to have something to nosh right after it’s worked hard. I would also be making this amazing smoothie!

  453. Christine says

    My favorite green is spinach… in salad, in smoothies, stuffed in other foods, or any other way, I love it!

  454. Cassidy Wooldridge says

    It may be bland on its own, but I absolutely love eating celery! The green vegetable is a staple in my diet for its crunchiness.

  455. Leslie Paquette says

    Hmm, If I have to pick just one, my favorite veggie is definitely brussels sprouts. I would love to try this smoothie recipe 🙂

  456. Kelly (Mikulecky) Woodland says

    Awesome!! I also get almost too many veggies per day, and my favorite is zucchni for sure! I am also drooling over a chocolate zucchini bread I pinned recently and this powder could really take the bread over the top I imagine!

  457. carolyn s says

    Wow, this is a great idea! I love green veggies. Broccoli, mustard, spinach, brussels sprouts, just about all of them, except iceberg lettuce. Thanks so much for sharing .

  458. Heather R says

    I’m not sure I could pick a favorite since there’s really only two vegetables that I don’t like (asparagus and artichokes) but I guess if I had to pick a green one it would be broccoli (or spinach, or cabbage, or brussel sprouts or … :] )

  459. A says

    Kale has got to be one of THE most versatile greens and even ingredients in the world! not only does it taste great but you can do a million things with it – chips, dips, sauces, sides, stir fry’s, even deserts! I <3 kale and even more – it's soooo good for you! Definitely one of my all time fav greens and foods!

  460. Nikki says

    My favorite green veggie is brussel sprouts. I hated them when I was little because my mom only made the frozen ones. Then when I got older I discovered fresh! Yum-ooo on the grill!!!

  461. Tiffany@Lattes&Life says

    My fave is broccoli. Looove it. But if I won this, it would be all for my picky preschooler. I’m lucky if I can get one serving of veggies in him a week!

  462. Janille says

    I definitely don’t eat enough greens each day, so this would be quite helpful! I’d say my favorite green veggie is a crunchy green pepper!

  463. Shannon says

    My favorite green veggie is spinach which I always add to my smoothies, but adding chocolate to them would make them even better!

  464. Kate says

    I LOVE baby spinach leaves! I add them in smoothies, eat them in a salad, or top a burger with them 🙂
    I would *LOVE* to try this chocolate smoothie, and hope to win!

  465. Hannah says

    Wow, just LOOK at all your fans… their comments go for miles! You are helping hundreds, thousands, of people (girls especially) satisfy their cheeky sugar side without the side effects. THANK YOU!!!

    I would love to win the powder because I’m sure you’d post to Australia, where as a lot of the companies I have tried to buy powdered ‘greens’ from won’t. 🙁 I would use it in my husband’s breakfast smoothie daily, to get him healthier (I sneak all sorts of things into his smoothies, but nothing so great as this!).

  466. Heather LaGuire says

    I would use the Barlean’s in a morning banana shake or add it to a bowl of oatmeal…maybe even try adding a little to my yogurt. I’d also love to try adding some to one of your cookie-dough dips or sneak it in my husband’s cookies??

  467. Crystal says

    Kale! I love making kale chips!!! Ps. I found your blog on pinterest but I have been spreading the word to everyone!! People at work are making your recipes now too! Thanks!

  468. Rissa says

    My favorite green would definitely be a toss up between asparagus and spinach. My kids (2 and 4) love veggies, but they love smoothies even more, esp. when they’re chocolate!! 🙂

  469. Sarah says

    Spinach and asparagus <3333

    i like to do crazy things with my veggies since they're so versatile, so in the morning i cut up some asparagus and somethings broccoli and mix it with some cinnamon, truvia, and sugar free vanilla syrup. sooooo goood on the side with some eggs or a bagel!!

  470. jeanette says

    I would use this powder a lot. I have tried and tried but I just do NOT like leafy greens. wish i did. as a result, neither do my kids 🙁

  471. Aileen says

    My favorite green vegetable is a tie between spinach and kale. I love how spinach can pretty much be blended w/ anything and the slight bitterness of kale.

  472. Nancy Gordon says

    My favorite vegetable is kale. I just made kale chips for an appetizer tonight, but I love prepared any way and it’s also great in soups! I would love to try this great chocolate product.

  473. Roni Yager says

    Favorite veggies are tomatoes…unfortunately I’m allergic to them :(((
    (that’s an extra big frowny face!!)

  474. Leanna C says

    I actually do a pretty good job of keeping greens in my diet, but every now and then I’ll take some sort of vegetable “supplement,” like a low-sodium v8 or odwalla or naked juice. My favorite greens are probably asparagus, brussel sprouts, or romaine (in salsa… yum!). And I just LOVE blending spinach into everything!

    If I won the powder I would most definitely make hot chocolate/chocolate soup, especially as the weather isn’t quite heating up yet in California… well, it comes and goes. And I’m always cold, unfortunately. I LOVE knowing that I can enjoy something sweet while still keeping my body healthy! (RE: my dedication to your blog!)

  475. Mollie says

    Seriously……you want me to pick just ONE?!?!?!?!? It depends on the day, today is probably asparagus, tomorrow could be broccoli, or brussel sprouts, or jalepenos, or spinach, or…..you get the idea!!

  476. AmyMcD says

    I would LOVE to try the Barlean’s Greens powder! As a 35-yr old breast cancer survivor, I am always looking for more ways to get cancer-fighting antioxidants and extra veggies! I have become completely obsessed with your faux Shamrock Shakes, so I would mix the Chocolate silk powder into my Shamrock Shake to make Chocolate mint shakes!! And then feed them to my 2 yr old and 6 yr old!! YUM!!!!

  477. Elliev says

    I love, love peas. Everyone thinks I’m yucky for loving peas!

    Also, thank you for all your splendid recipes. I was addicted to the chickpea choc chip batter last month… Geeze.

  478. ellie-v says

    I’m not sure if my comment went through the first time, i clicked “submit” ONE time and it said “oops! looks lik you’ve already said that”.

    But i’ll repeat, I love peas~

  479. Renae says

    I can only choose ONE green vegetable? I cannot choose between broccoli, brussel sprouts, and asparagus. That would be cruel.

  480. Justin says

    My favorite green veggie would probably be collard greens. As a southern girl that’s such a natural for me. I would REALLY love to win this because I’m trying to change my eating habits and adopt a healthier lifestyle. I’m super enthusiastic about smoothies at the moment because they can be so yummy and versatile, and truthfully for me, they seem like about the best way to get the extra protein and calcium that I’m focused on adding more of in my diet.

  481. Alicia says

    My favorite green veggie is spinach…or broccoli! I’ve recently gone vegetarian and still working on getting enough veggies in my diet!

  482. Heidi says

    Favorite green veggie? So many to choose from… green beans and cucumbers right out of the garden… YUM! As for the powder, I would sneak it into my kids’ smoothies (it might be nice not to have them be completely green every now and then!), chocolate pancakes, chocolate zucchini bread, all kinds of things! A few extra veggies never hurt anyone!!! 🙂

  483. Gloria says

    Peas are my favorite green veggie, but I like spinach in smoothies. I would make a smoothie with this and put raspberries in it because I have some frozen in my freezer yet from my raspberry patch. I hope I win.

  484. Leanne says

    Broccoli. I never had to acquire a taste for this – I remember being 5-6 years old and asking for it for dinner. I even won my husband over to the broccoli love early on in our marriage!!!

  485. Stephanie says

    If I won, I would try this chocolate smoothie. I love strawberries and chocolate. Sounds like a perfect pair!

  486. Tabatha says

    When I was pregnant, my husband would ask me what I wanted for dinner and I would reply, “anything, so long as it has a side of broccoli!”. I must have needed all that folate:-)
    Post gestation and i am still loving the broccoli.

  487. Alison says

    My fav green veggie is spinach, zucchini and green beans 🙂

    I would love to win this powder because any extra nutrition I ca get is awesome and of course the Choc part is a win win 🙂

  488. Jennifer says

    I’ve been venturing into the world of protein & green powders of late. While I don’t mind the natural flavored ones and chocolate ones would definitely be a treat. I’m thinking a chocolate greens powder smoothie with banana would hit the spot. Luckily I love myself some spinach anyway any how so I never have to feel I’m choking down my veggies.

  489. the surfer says

    AH! so beet GREENS… an anomaly to me until just recently. I love beets and I have buy these beautiful beets from a man at the local farmers market but those greens just kept stumping me on what I could do with them. I hate wasting food (especially fruits and veggies) and I try to use the entire produce and through away as little as possible.
    First, I tried my own recipe: stuffed beet greens. I made a multigrain bean mixture and then constructed little veggie “burritos”. These were ok, but not amazing.
    Then… oh my goodness… then I came across a recipe for beet green pesto (minus the cheese and substituted cashews) = AMAZING. I think I love this jsut as much as regular pesto.

    What would I do with this stuff if I win? Easy. I would try scoops of this in every meal I could possibly think of and invent. For example, oatmeal.. chocolate fig and blueberry oatmeal. OR, chocolate coconut banana smoothie. ORRR chocolate pesto (hey, it could work).

    I would go crazy with this stuff.

    Thank you for the giveaways!

  490. Emily says

    I LOVE broccoli. Absolutely adore it. Brussels are a close second, though! Funny to think I grew up hating both, as most kids do – that’s because I only ever had them steamed and plain. It’s amazing what a couple minutes in a hot oven will do.

  491. Toni Long says

    I’d have to say fresh cucumber (on toasted Ezekial with veganaise) is probably my favorite and I love asparagus. But what I have everyday is spinach, cause it’s so good for me!!

    I’d use the chocolate greens in smoothies, avocado pudding or in anything else I can think of. I LOVE chocolate.

  492. Elizabeth says

    I really love lots of green veggies. My favorite? I’d chose avacado, or cucumber, or zucchini. I would use the powder to supplement my breakfast somehow. I’m thinking it would taste yummy mixed in plain yogurt with some berries 🙂

  493. Joey says

    Just found this site and am excited to start trying some of the recipes. I was also excited to find someone else who eats chocolate every day.

    My favorite green veggie is broccoli. Not sure how I’d use this powder, the first I’ve ever heard of it, but if it’s as yummy as you say I might use in on everything! I also love smoothies, so that would be a great option – mixed with blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, etc.

  494. Chantelle says

    I love vegetables–but fresh spinach is divine! I think this powder would be good in many things but I’d probably make something similar to your smoothie with it!

  495. RC @ Just Add Cayenne says

    Although I haven’t found one I don’t like, my favorite green veggies are Brussels sprouts! Just plain steamed work for me. Like you mentioned, I’m not worried over the multiple benefits since I take in a lot of fruits and veggies; I would use this mix as a means of making a healthy Chocolate treat blended with peanut butter and banana. Matter of fact, think I’ll have some PB and banana now….hopefully soon I can add the mix too!

  496. Christine says

    Kale! And I would use the greens mix for a breakfast smoothie on early mornings when I’m running out the door.

  497. Sheila says

    My local organic grocery store was sampling this product yesterday and it is SO GOOD! I wanted to buy some myself but it’s a tad expensive for me… :/

    Favorite green? Baby spinach, kale or romaine – I love my leafy greens!

  498. Cynthia Turner says

    Favorite vegetable: kale (especially braised with pomegranate vinegar or topped with a little tahini, sesame oil, and lemon juice!)

    I’d use this Barlean’s product for my after-workout recovery snack!

  499. Lori says

    Favorite green veg…spinach!
    I would def want to try this in a smoothie. I LOVE the idea of healthy greens AND chocolate!

  500. Bonnie says

    This sounds like it would be great with a banana, almond milk and maybe some protein powder for a quick post workout snack.

    Love your blog!

  501. Wendy Heath says

    Gotta say my favorite green veggie has got to be asparagus… broiled/grilled with EVOO… yummage! If I got this powder, I’d totally make it into a milkshake and hope it would help with my studying ability (I need all the help I can get!)

  502. Kanak says

    My favorite green veggie would have to be broccoli! I don’t know why I like it so much even though SOME people *cough* my boyfriend *cough* have to choke it down 🙁 Also, my favorite way to cook it is to sautée it with some evoo and garlic, nom nom nom it turns me into a broccoli monster! 😀

  503. Kittineko @ 3PeasCafe says

    Fav. greens: There are these giant (and by giant I mean the length of my forearm giant) string-bean-looking things with purple beans inside a tender green pod that are AWESOME in just about anything. I don’t know what they’re called though but they are my current obsession 🙂

    And I’d give the powder to my little sister ’cause she’s in college and I’m worried she doesn’t get enough greens in her diet ’cause she’s too busy D:

  504. Nicole says

    i work out overseas where veggies & fruits aren’t always edible due to contaminated growth. all fruits/veggies need to be either peeled, boiled, or if eaten raw soaked in bleach water (i don’t eat the later).
    i MISS raw veggies! most of all i miss the bag of organic mixed greens!!! mmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!

  505. Alycia says

    My favorite green veggie is zucchini! I love zucchini bread, zucchini fritters, zucchini on pizza, in stir fry, cooked on the grill! Basically, any way you can make it. 🙂

    Unfortunately, I am one of those people who fall short on my greens most days so I would love this product for a quick & tasty green supplement!

  506. Ryan says

    kale, peas, or lima beans are mine. but I like all greens. :] I’d use it in smoothies like this or to make pudding.

  507. MBrando says

    MMMM SPINACH, TOMATOS!!!!!!!!! Fresh,red,jucy from my parents garden. So SO SOOOOOO different then out of season tomatos at the supermarket :/

    Would definitely say a lot of preyers if i would win the lovely chocolate fix from you. We don’t have that here in Maribor/Slovenija, so it would be used well and wisely in all kinds of delicious stuff. From smoothies, to brownies, from muffins to cakes….NOM NOM NOMMMMMMMMMMMMMm

  508. Courtney says

    I gotta go with broccoli on this one, although I’m basically addicted to all things green. And I’ve been searching for that powder near & far ever since I got a little sample on vacation, so I’d probably incorporate it into ev-er-ry-thing, seriously…smoothies, oatmeal, baked goods!

  509. Kit-Kat says

    I love any greens, but Swiss Chard marinated in balsamic vinegar is my favorite green…. but I really do love almost every veggie there is out there!
    I would use this product for shakes, and making my own pudding. YUM!

  510. Lori says

    My favorite greens are kale for smoothies! I love them in pineapple juice but I think chocolate kale smoothies would be fab!!

  511. Em says

    I’m not really sure what my favourite green veggie is…but sugar snap peas are tasty, quick, and adaptable, so I’ll pick that for now.

  512. katrina says

    Favorite green veggie is spinach! Eventhough it feels weird on my teeth after I eat it, I still love it!!! I would use this powder in smoothies!! Anything to get more greens!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  513. Chloe says

    awesome giveaway!
    my favorite green veggie is…. geez just one?!?! artichokes and cucumbers are delicious but its going to have to be zucchini for sure! i like grilling them, using them in bread, fritters, pizza crust.. so many things you can do!

    =]

    chloe

  514. Madeleine says

    I´d experiment in the kitchen and find new fabulous ways to use it! Ah, and my favourite green vegetable must be aspargus, love it!

  515. Jenny$1983 says

    I would use the powder to make your Brownie Batter Pancakes! Thanks for the giveaway 🙂

    PS I celebrated St. Patrick’s Day in a way I’m sure you’d appreciate: I wore China Glaze Emerald Sparkle and stamped a China Glaze Passion (gold chrome) four leaf clover on every nail using the Konad system 🙂

  516. Kristy says

    I already use the Berlean’s Flax Oil so this would add to my cancer fighting weaponry :0)
    And Spinach (yes it’s true) is my favorite veggie…

  517. Amanda says

    My fave green vegie has to be BROCOLLI. They’re something so ravishing about eating miniature trees!

    If I had Barlean’s Silk, I would use it in a smoothie for brekkie, lunch and dinner. Smoothies are my absolute favourite ‘meal’.

  518. Jessica says

    My favourite green vegetable would have to be spinach. Spinach smoothies are wonderful and if I had any of this powder, I would add it to my smoothies!

  519. Zoe Bonney says

    Favorite green veggie? Spinach or asparagus, especially with a little butter and nutmeg! I’d include Greens in my morning smoothies. Way yum! Thanks for the give away. What a great opportunity to try Greens.

  520. angie finnegan says

    hands down zucchini ismy favorite. Would love to try this. seems i’m always running out of fresh stuff for smoothies. And chocolate for breakfast. yes please…

  521. Shawn Nichols says

    I have been loving baby spinach in a salad with fruit. And I would love to try the greens chololate silk in your Hot Fudge Larabars, even though I usually make them into balls so I don’t eat them all at once. 🙂

  522. Kim says

    My current favorite green vegetable to eat is roasted brussel sprouts. My favorite green vegetable for smoothies is Spinach. I would use the chocolate powder in my (after Zumba class) smoothie.

  523. Vanessa says

    Hmm…favorite green veggie has to be broccoli! Love it* And if I won this green powder I would use it to make smoothies since I recently have been trying to incorporate more into my diet to help ease my digestion! Thanks 🙂

    Vanessa

  524. Gia says

    This smoothie sounds great! My favorite has to be baby spinach, just for its versatility – salads, smoothies, or even blended in dressings. Thanks!

  525. Becky says

    I’m going to throw in another vote for asparagus…or spinach in Green Monster smoothies…or kale wilted into a nice hot soup! 🙂 I have never heard of Chocolate Silk Greens before–but I would love to try it in this smoothie! I’ve also never left a post on your site before, but I am totally hooked on your cookie dough dip and your perfect hot chocolate!! Thanks for all your yummy recipes!

  526. Jessica H says

    Like you Katie, I rarely ever miss my daily dark leafy greens and veggies! Though I live on a high-raw plant-based diet, my carnivorous carb loving husband does not. 🙁 I sneak as much in as I can in his morning smoothie but this would be such an amazing supplement for him! He definitely needs it & I certainly wouldn’t feel guilty enjoying some! 😉 Thank you Katie!

  527. Lauren H says

    My favorite green vegetable is a toss up between asparagus and broccoli =D Love me some greens <3 and chocolate.. <33

  528. Miko A. says

    It’s hard to choose just one favorite green vegetable but if I had to chose I guess Kale would be at the top of the list. There is nothing like a vegetable that can be eaten in so many ways, raw, fried, dehydrated, broiled and etc. Mmmm Too bad caterers use it for garnish instead of a healing vegetable.

  529. Sandy says

    I make a delicious chocolate silk tofu pie and I would add this product to…increasing the nutritional value and pumping up the chocolatey taste!

  530. Melissa says

    My favorite green vegetables are broccoli, all types of lettuce, green beans, and on and on! I am going to look for this chocolate powder in my area…sounds yummy!

  531. Jill K. says

    Hi Katie,
    I am always in need of a chocolate fix with a little added protein and veggies! I love your blog. I read every post! I am a chocolate lover and a big Katie fan. I would love to try this Barleans Chocolate Silk. 🙂

  532. Hanna M. says

    I would use it for a classic chocolate spinach smoothie (coconut milk, cocoa, spinach, banana or dates, lecitin). Soo good… Spinach is probably my favorite green veg, as it’s super healthy and versatile, and frozen spinach is just so convenient. Great giveaway!

  533. Athena R says

    My favorite green vegetable is probably asparagus, though I pretty much enjoy them all. I’d love to try this powder in a smoothie as well.

  534. Hannah-Lee says

    I am helpless to the power of kale. Raw kale, kale salads, kale butter, kale in smoothies and juices, kale chips…it’s almost a problem. I recently found a recipe for kale bagels. That’s right. That is totally happening. I’ve been known to rinse off kale in the parking lot of the market so I can munch on it on the ride home. Maybe it is a problem…
    How would I use this powder? …make chocolate kale bagels? haha the possibilities are endless!

  535. Natalie Wright says

    I love edamames!! I would use the powder in everything!! Chocolate oatmeal, chocolate almond butter, brownies, etc.

  536. nile says

    omg i love spinach!!! could eat it everyday!!! and where have all of the bright sunny pictures gone? lol its spring time the darker back drops should be brighter and spring-y!!!! 🙂 😀

  537. M. R. says

    Leafy greens, especially spinach, is my choice. It goes well in smoothies, salads, quiches, eggs…. very easy to sneak in (and my 5 children love it too). I’d enjoy trying this green & chocolate powder to boost up smoothies, too!

  538. Tanya says

    My favorite green vegetable is currently roasted asparagus and brussel sprouts…but green beans are right up there. Love your recipes!

  539. Ginkogirl says

    My favorite green vegetable: Kabocha squash 🙂
    Technically green, just beautifully orange on the inside.

  540. Becca says

    Favorite green veggie would have to be spinach. Spinach is a great smoothie add-in to up the veggies in your life! It’s also like the holy trinity with eggs and feta. It’s just the best!

  541. Jami says

    Spinach! Can use it so many ways! I also love avocados! YUM! Would love to win! I use a daily green to sneak some extra veggies into my kiddos!

  542. Jenna says

    I don’t have trouble eating greens. Green beans are my favorite, but I also love spinach, asparagus, zucchini, broccoli… but my kids and hubby are a different story. This would be an easy way to “sneak” veggies into their treats!

  543. Laurel says

    I don’t know if I could have a favorite green veggie. But if I have to choose, it would definitely be zucchini– roasted, stir-fried, as hummus, as a dipper — it’s my must-have veggie that I buy a ton of every week!

  544. Ellen J. says

    Favorite green veggie? I’m not much of a green veggie fan, but lets go with green beans. That’s why this would be so great for a green veggie avoider like me!

  545. Jackie says

    I love TONS of green veggies – green beans, spinach, asparagus, cucumbers…can’t wait for summer to plant our garden!!!

  546. Missy says

    Spinach, it’s so versatile and healthy. 🙂

    I would love to use the Greens in smoothies, what a great addition!

  547. Rachel says

    I think it’s a toss up between watercress and broccoli rab. I love the light crispness of the watercress but I always feel like I’m eating a truckload of iron and minerals when I eat broccoli rab. 🙂

  548. Amber S says

    Avocados! Mmm, avocados. Ok, yes. They are actually a fruit and not a vegetable at all. But I love them a million times more than any veggie (of any color). Which might be why I am not always the best at getting enough veggies in my diet. Hmmm…

  549. Laura says

    My favorite green vegetable is broccoli, spinach would be a close second. I would love to make some chocolate blueberry or chocolate strawberry smoothies!

  550. Danielle says

    Favorite green vegetable… it’s a toss-up between asparagus and spinach. I love me some spring vegetables!!

  551. Nicki says

    I love all green veggies, currently tho, I have a brussel sprout fetish – roasted w/ olive oil, salt & pepper. Yummmmmmm!

  552. LizAshlee says

    Awesome giveaway! I love Barleans Omega Swirl!! I would love to try this in smoothies and also as an addition or maybe even sub for flour in raw cookies! Thanks!!

  553. Taya says

    Ooh …I love them all, but my favorite is definitely kale!

    I think I’d use the Chocolate Greens every day- in oatmeal, protein shakes, banana ice cream…

  554. Mollie says

    My NEW favorite green is Kale….only because you can make delicious Kale Chips and they are super good for you. And I would use the powder in my protein smoothies!

  555. Julia says

    I am in love with brussels sprouts, much to my little sister’s dismay. I would must likely use the powder in milkshakes and in oatmeal! 🙂

  556. Kelly J. R. says

    I’ve never heard of this stuff but I would love to give it a try! I love Barlean’s lemon zest omega swirl. I would use the powder to make my favorite banana chocolate smoothie!

  557. Alexa says

    Favorite Green Veggie KALE!!!!, and I got a sample of this from my health food store the other day it was soooo delicious!! If i got it I would use it in my protein powder smoothies after my long workouts-
    1 scoop vega sport french vanilla
    1 banana
    1 cup almond milk
    + barleen greens!
    = Dellliicccciooouuussssness 🙂

  558. Suzi says

    Asparagus is by far number one with Spinach in second, but I am not the type of girl to turn down a veggie, zucchini, broccoli I love them all. I started eating clean in January about 90% of the time, (I still have a few drinks, on occasion : ). ) but, since I started I’ve lost 12lbs and reached my goal weight of 125lbs. The hardest thing about eating clean for me is the mornings, I’m a smoothie person, easy quick, yummy. I would be curious to see if Greens Chocolate Silk is all natural?? If so it would most likely accompany some almond milk and greek yogurt and bananas as my breakfast shake. Or I would make it per your recipe above! Btw, I’ve never commented on your blog but I really enjoy it and have pointed a lot of people you’re way. Many of your recipes are “clean” or easily modifiable to make them clean so I really enjoy them! Thanks for doing what you do! And let me know about the ruling on if it’s “all natural”!

  559. Jessica Caneal says

    My favorite green veggie is brussel sprouts! Roasted, of course. Thanks for a great giveaway. The smoothie looks amazing!

  560. Bahja says

    Hello!:)

    This is my first ever comment here!YAY!
    My favorite green vegetable…I don’t think I have one,I love them all in different ways.
    And I’m pretty sure this powder would go great in any kind of snack.I’d use it in black bean brownies,and your CCK’s fro-cho.
    This sounds weird..but I love chocolate with cornbread so your “Totally addictive cornbread” would become even more so with this powder inside:)

    Yum.Thank you for this opportunity!!:)

  561. Julia says

    Kale kale kale! BUT, I’m a green veggie fanatic, so I will probably eat it if it’s set in front of me, unless cooked w/butter or animal fat. 🙂

  562. Dalores says

    I would like the smoothie you made, maybe throw a little frozen banana in also. I love spinach, use it a lot.

  563. Chris says

    I think this lovely new (to me) product belongs in my breakfast! Cocoa oatmeal bars?!?

    Avocados are my current veggie love with Brussels Sprouts running a close second…with nearly everything else tied for third!

  564. Kimberly Louis-Jean says

    LOOOOVE asparagus!!! Can’t get enough of it. And I would totally use this powder in my morning breakfast smoothies! yum

  565. Emily says

    My favorite green veggie is brussel sprouts, but I would love to have this powder to make quick chocolate milk shakes!

  566. Robyn says

    I can’t choose just one green veggie! I love green beans, asparagus, broccoli, spinach. And green is my favorite color, too. 🙂

  567. Natalie says

    well technically it’s a berry – but I love love love tomatoes…
    technically onion is a bulb – and when it’s roasted it’s bomb
    i’m not sure what the heck potatoes are – but i’ll just go and say i think they’re delicious when made in plethora of ways
    I’m not sure why i saw sorrel listed as a vegetable – but it gives an amazing flavor to soup
    and beets are yummy – super sweet – and are fantastic broiled, in borscht, fried… whatever
    i guess that’s it – beets then 🙂 and tons of other stuff that’s categorized in places as things that are delicious healthy and edible

  568. Vicki says

    I can’t pick just one green veggie! I would use the powder in the energy bars that I re-creted using 2 of your recipes. They are very close to a Zing bar, super yummy!

  569. Maddie says

    My favorite green is zucchini but I normally love most of them. Sadly my tummy has been so upset lately that I haven’t been able to stomach much else so this product look awesome! 🙂

  570. allyson says

    i’ve been reading your blog for about a month now…and WOW are you one talented chef! i’ve made your peanut butter fudge, and your choc chip cookie dough dip (and brought it to a party where no one could believe it was made from chickpeas!), and i’m super excited that you’ve started doing savory recipes, too. i recently switched to a plant based diet (i’m already gluten free and was a pescatarian), and really, you are my life saver 🙂
    oh and my favorite green is kale! or spinach. oooh or bok choy!

  571. MC says

    I’m really into kale lately – I can taste the nutrition!

    I’d love to try this product out – I’ll check out their site. There’s a vegan berry Shakeology that’s similar and promises the world and pretty much delivers…but its kinda expensive.

    I couldn’t find a link to the company though on your post – I’ll just google it though.

    Thanks Katie!

  572. Kelly K. says

    Favorite green veggie is green beans. But I also love brocolli, zuchinni, peppers, salad all types, spinach, cabbage, etc. I love veggies. 🙂

  573. Kirsten says

    I love KALE and Spinach! And frequently mix them up in a smoothie too, but sometimes its nice to just have a jar of chocolaty powder on hand to make a healthy smoothie instead!

  574. Grace says

    I’m home sick from school today ): I haven’t eaten since early this morning, and I was totally craving a rich pick-me-up snack. This did just the trick! It felt so good on my sore throat, and it was so delicious. I’m eating it with some of Stacy’s Simply Gingerbread pita chips, mmm (:

    My favorite green would probably be spinach… or kale… or cucumber… ah I don’t know!

  575. Matthew B says

    i would use the powder to try this smoothie… i know thats lame so i will also say my favorite green veggie is brussell sprouts since i spent most of my life dreading the thought of them, no i love them (pretty much once i tried them)

  576. Lori Z. says

    I love brussel sprouts. And asparagus. And spinach and green beans and broccoli… You get the idea! But, I would put the powder in smoothies!

  577. Melissa N. says

    My fave green is broccoli if I had to pick one. I would totally use this to sneak some greens in on my sons breakfast.

  578. Kat says

    My favorite green vegetable is fresh baby spinach. I also love cabbage and Asparagus. But I love all green vegetables so that’s not saying much.

  579. Lauren says

    Broccoli is my fav green veggie! And I’d use this is delicious chocolate smoothies or in chocolatey breakfast protein pancakes 🙂

  580. Rachel says

    My favorite green vegetable is always changing with what’s in season…in late spring, it’s asparagus! I can’t wait. 😀

  581. MichelleH says

    Yum! I got a ‘greens’ powder for the kids and they thought it was disgusting. Chocolate flavor would go down better, I think. My fave green veggie would have to be balsamic roasted sprouts. Love them!

  582. Melissa Lunde says

    I love most all green veggies… but if I had to pick a favorite I guess I would pick broccoli. I would use this chocolate greens powder in smoothies and I’d have to try it out in my famous chocolate banana pancakes!

  583. Eileen says

    I drink my greens in water keifer daily for the ease but think chocolate and strawberries would be great. I love lots of green veggies but think I would choose fresh green beans, from my garden, as a favorite.

  584. Samantha says

    My favorite green vegetable is broccoli. I always forget how good it is until I make some for my son and have to stop myself from eating all his food!

  585. Anonymous says

    love green veggies! especially spinach for it’s versatility, but sugar snap peas, avocado, and broccoli are killer too.. my dad drinks carnation instant breakfast daily to supplement his less than stellar diet, would love to switch it up with this and show him a healthier option!

  586. Callie McBride says

    My favorite green vegetable by FAR is brussels sprouts!!
    And if I won the giveaway, of course my first move would be to use it in this Chocolate Silk Smoothie…yum.

  587. Amanda says

    Hi Katie, please enter me in the giveaway draw! My favourite green vegetable is… green beans! Do they count? Fresh from the garden or steamed with black pepper! Or maybe kale, in a vegan “blt” salad.

  588. Carey says

    It’s hard to choose just one but I’d have to say spinach. You can eat it raw in salads, smoothies or sandwiches or cook it in soups and curries!

  589. Val says

    Spinach.
    Katie I need you help. I accidently went out and bought the regular Barleans greens instead of the chocolate one. Any ideas on how to make it taste less “algae-like.” Sadly I bought the big container. Thanks

  590. Elizabeth says

    I would use the Chocolate silk powder to experiment with different kinds of ice creams, smoothies, and many other things!

    I also love green beans, green pepper, spinach… Pretty much anything green except for broccoli.

  591. lyss says

    Hmm…Don’t know if I have a favorite, but spinach is so versatile! Makes a yummy salad, great cooked, and raw in green smoothies!

  592. Katie says

    I hope this is still open! My favorite green veggie is green beans. I don’t know what it is about them, but I just love them!

    If I won the powder I’d definitely use it in smoothies. I already use a green powder, but I’m all for a chocolate green powder!

  593. Mary says

    I love baby spinach greens. O yes just about any way they can be eaten. This powder would be wonderful !!….I would definitely use it in smoothies with the strawberries like the recipe for sure.

  594. Jackie says

    I love spinach it has become my new favorite vegetable. I usually like it cooked, but have been using it in smoothies and that’s what I would use the powder for.

  595. Arica says

    I love most greens.. I think my favorites are zucchini and broccoli.. but I also love roasted brussels sprouts and asparagus!

    I’d use this as hot chocolate! Its really hard to find vegan hot chocolate, so I’d try this in hot soy milk to make my own.

    PS. This IS vegan, right? I’ve searched everywhere and haven’t found an actual vegan claim. It looks vegan, according to the ingredients, but sometimes companies can be sneaky. Thanks Katie!

  596. Natalie Brooke says

    KALE! I can’t live without it. It’s amazing cooked, raw, juiced, blended in a smoothie….yum! I would use this to make my morning Kale/Spinach/Peanut butter/Protein smoothies! OMG I didn’t even know they made this! it would be amazing if I won a can of this, I love Barlean’s Falx Seed Oil!

  597. Holly says

    My favorite green vegetable is currently Kale!! And I would love to try adding some healthy chocolate to my morning oatmeal!!

  598. Robin says

    My favorite green vegetables are: spinach, brussel sprouts, kale, collard greens, and bok choy. I would most likely use Barleans Greens in my smoothie drinks. I especially like brussel spouts and kale roasted with a little olive oil, sea salt, or whatever savory seasoned packets I have on hand.

  599. Lorraine Lambert says

    Most green veggies but raw broccoli is my fav.
    I would use the Barleans Greens mostly for smoothies.

  600. Steph says

    Mmm that looks yummy! My fave green vegetable would have to be broccoli for sure! Would use that powder in oatmeal and smoothies 🙂

  601. Leigh says

    Just one??? I’m gonna go with zucchini. It’s great raw, in hummus, zucchini pizza, fritters….. I could go on!

  602. Emma says

    Oh yummy!! My absolute favorite green veggie is Brussels Sprouts. Crazy, right? Doesn’t everyone hate those? Not me 🙂

  603. pearl says

    I’d like to try it out on my toddler. Getting veggies in him is quite the struggle, but he definitely loves chocolate. Of course, I wouldn’t mind a smoothie or two myself.

  604. sooze says

    I definitely agree that one should try to maintain a diet full of the real greens. However, I do travel A LOT for work, and could envision relying on Chocolate Silk while I’m travelling!

  605. Brianna says

    broccoli! and peas! and spinach! I feed my whole family green smoothies for breakfast every morning…we would all love to add some chocolate to our mix! Please please!

  606. Sondra says

    Favorite green vegetable would have to be asparagus- it would be broccoli but broccoli make my entire family unfit for polite company and therefore is reserved for special occasions (like family nights).

    If I won the giveaway I’d probably mix the powder with an agar base topped with toasted almonds and coconut for an almond joy pudding parfait. I’d also mix it up with Almond Breeze’s Unsweetened Almond Coconut Milk for my 15 month old daughter’s who are very anti veggie (and very pro-chocolate) lately.

  607. Ellie says

    Oh my that looks so scrumptious! I would use the powder in protein shakes, homemade frozen yogurt, green-filled pancakes or cookies…basically, anything tasty. xP

  608. Claire says

    I love celery, believe it or not it is considered a “green” like kale and lettuce. I drink a green smoothie every day and I would add that yummy powder!

  609. Ann Schutt says

    We love broccoli and brussel sprouts and cabbage and kale and romaine and asparagus and ..
    Although my husband and I get plenty of vegetables, I’d love to try this powder on my college-age son and daughter. I’d hook them on the smoothies and know they were getting whatever nutrients they’re missing.

  610. Cam says

    Kale is my absolute favorite – baked, sauteed, steamed… yum!
    And I would do so much with this, I’ve been trying to find it everywhere but to no avail!! I’m imagining pancakes, smoothies, breads, cakes, cookies, homemade protein bars, shakes, icecream, is there anything you can’t do with it?! 🙂

  611. Paula says

    Favorite green vegetable– probably spinach! I would probably use the powder in one of my already green smoothies, just too add more power to it 🙂

  612. April says

    Hi Katie! I absolutely love your blog! It takes away too much of my study time though >.< Hahaha my favorite green vegetable… hmmm… I like them all! But if I have to choose, I would probably say cucumbers. Thanks for the fun giveaway! Now back to studying…

  613. Janice says

    Today my favorite is probably broccoli….it varies though and the greens powder would be perfect for me as I know I don’t eat quite enough veggies!

  614. Michelle says

    Favorite green.. kale is pretty far up there! I am living in Asia right now, and can’t get kale- and can’t really get spinach either (a weird, really stringy kind)– so I get my greens through frozen spinach green smoothies 🙂 So, a product like this would be great!

  615. Lisa says

    I’d have to say arugula is my favorite green. I can saute it with some lemon and olive oil or eat it raw with some roasted almonds and balsamic vinegar! Thanks for the great giveaway!!

  616. jessica citso says

    I love all green veggies. . .broccoli, kale, spinach and asparagus are my favs BUT my kids don’t always agree. I’d use the powder to sneak some veggies into the foods they love!!

  617. Joan says

    Chocolate greens?? That sounds really good and so healthy! I’d probably add it to pancake batters, smoothies, and maybe use as a replacement for cocoa powder in other baked goods. My favorite green is probably romaine just because it makes good wraps and yummy salads. I’ll be honest… not a fan of dark greens unless they are in smoothie form.

  618. Shanna says

    Baby Spinach is my fave green leafy vegetable, and I could use the chocolate powder to get my family more into drinking healthy stuff….for some reason my green smoothies don’t look appetizing enough for them to try it.

  619. Another Chocolate Loving Katy says

    I don’t know it’s name in english, but my Mom is Filipino and we eat this green veggie called “kang kong”. Maybe it’s because she puts in my favorite sour tamarind soup 🙂

    As for, “normal” green veggie, it’s KALE KALE KALE. Super addicted to making kale chips!

  620. Marife A says

    I would whip this deliciousness as directed, freeze and then reblend in the good ol Magic Bullet for a tasty and nutritious chocolate ice cream!

  621. Tracy says

    Sounds like a wonderful way to get my very picky almost 3-year old son to get a lot of great nutrients in his diet!

  622. Maura says

    I use kale in everything—buy a big bunch, clean it and throw it in food processor to chop it fine and then put it in a ziploc bag in the freezer. It is so easy to then add however much you need to anything—smoothies, spaghetti sauce, salad, pizza….endless possibilities.

  623. Sarah says

    Oh my that looks delicious! Hmmm…boyfriend needs to eat more vegetables.
    We love asparagus here! Grilled with a bit of olive oil and sea salt, yum!

  624. Audrey says

    My fav veggie… So many to choose from, would probably be grilled zucchini and mushrooms! I would use the Barleans for a healthy smoothie. As a busy mama sometimes it’s hard to get all my veggies in for the day!

  625. jill says

    My favorite green vegetable is kale. Love kale chips with sea salt and nutritional yeast or I throw some in a smoothie.

  626. Aly says

    My absolute favorite green vegetable would have to be spinach! It’s so versatile and you can use it in multiple different ways! My favorite is sauteeing it and adding it to omelets or pasta dishes!

  627. Karen says

    5 stars
    Where is the chocolate smoothie: it brings up the chocolate chip cookies on screen. I keep going up and down do you have something I can click on for the chocolate smoothie?

    • CCK Media Team says

      Hi! The chocolate smoothie recipe is here in this post 🙂 The recipe is in the pink recipe box on this page, no need to click anything.

  628. Kacy says

    Yogurt, milk, and cocoa powder. Got it.
    I do love your chocolate pudding recipe, I make it about twice a week. 🙂
