Amazing Grass Chocolate Green SuperFood

Chocolate Green SuperFood

Cherry Creek’s Whole Foods store was recently sampling the “Amazing Grass” Green SuperFood chocolate drink powder in the form of a wheat grass shake. I summoned my gag reflex as I took a swig, yet something amazing happened as the powder’s name implies. After I chugged my grass I guffawed at this remarkable flavor and immediate energy boost.

As a friend once responded to my wheatgrass smoothie recipe on Facebook, “If I want to eat grass Ruff, I’ll go chew on my front lawn.” But once he tried it, he said it was amazing.

So before you forgo this post and head to the Examiner gardening section, I assure you that the grassy taste disappears within a sea of chocolate and banana froth. Yet you still ingest all of the photochemical and antioxidant properties so heralded in wheat grass.

Ruff’s Tough Stuff Yard Smoothie:
1-cup vanilla soymilk
5 ice cubes
1 banana halved
1 tbsp natural peanut butter
1 scoop of wheat grass powder


Add the chocolate powder with vanilla soymilk and drop in a banana. Add a tablespoon of peanut butter, which works as a thickening agent and provides extra protein.

Blend on high for one minute. Head to the gym, my favorite is Pura Vida, and enjoy your favorite class thanks to the grass.

Try this powder for yourself and let me know if you’d rather save your money for fertilizing your front lawn.
