Tofu smoothie

 

Tofu smoothie                           yield:  2 – 1.5 cup servings

A tofu smoothie might sound a little strange, but adding silken tofu is the best way to make smoothies creamy and extra delicious. Bonus that the protein boost will keep you full until lunch! 

INGREDIENTS

·         2 cups frozen fruit, we love using raspberries and mangoes

·         1 fresh banana, see notes

·         8 ounces silken tofu (or dessert tofu)

·         ¼ cup water

 


 

 

INSTRUCTIONS 

·         Place the ingredients into your blender and blend on high until smooth.

·         If you'd like a thinner smoothie, add a little extra water. 

 

NOTES

You can use a frozen banana but you'll likely want to add a little extra water to help it blend. 

 

If you want to use fresh fruit, you'll need to add a handful of ice cubes to thicken and cool the smoothie.
