5 min · 20 g protein · 289 cals / serving
Silken tofu is the secret to a smoothie that is creamy like a milkshake and carries its protein without any powder. Blended with frozen strawberries, banana, soy milk and a drop of vanilla, it tastes only of strawberries and cream.
Ingredients
- 7 oz soft tofu, silken, drained
- 1 1/4 cups frozen strawberries
- 1/2 medium banana
- 1/2 cup + 1 tbsp unsweetened soy milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- a few drops stevia, optional
Steps
- Put everything in the blender, liquids at the bottom, and blend on high for 45–60 seconds, until silky with no specks of tofu.
- Taste: ripe strawberries may need no sweetener at all. Pour and drink straight away.
Good to know
Silken or firm tofu?
Silken (soft) tofu is what makes it smooth. Firm tofu works in a powerful blender but gives a slightly gritty texture, so add an extra splash of soy milk.
Does it taste of tofu?
Silken tofu tastes of almost nothing; it adds creaminess, like yogurt without the tang. If you can taste it, it needs a little more fruit or vanilla.
