Blueberry Tofu Smoothie

Now is the time you get a delicious smoothie. Maybe this can make your diet more enjoyable, more quality! Let's start making this smoothie. Soft and creamy silken tofu is the tofu of choice for smoothies and shakes. If it isn’t available, you can substitute 2/3 cup of plain, low-fat yogurt. Feel free to boost the protein content of your smoothie by adding 1 or 2 teaspoons of wheat germ.

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

- 6 ounces silken tofu
- 1 medium banana
- 2/3 cup soy milk
- 1 cup frozen or fresh blueberries
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 -3 ice cubes, optional
Preparation:

Drain the silken tofu to remove excess water (silken tofu has a high water content).
Peel and slice the banana. Place on a baking sheet and freeze for about 15 minutes (this helps make the smoothie thicker).


Breakfast Smoothie

Blend the banana, tofu and soy milk for 30 seconds. Add 1/2 cup of the frozen blueberries and process until smooth. Add the remaining blueberries, honey and ice cubes if using and process again until smooth. Enjoy!
