If you would like to add some soy protein to your diet, this is a great smoothie-a really good way to get two serving of protein at one time. I am not vegetarian, just trying to eat healthy, so I use powdered milk and water, but you could substitute soy milk. I used firm tofu and it still turned out very smooth. It's a very versatile snack or meal-on-the-go. Ingredients:
4 ounces peaches or 4 ounces pears or 4 ounces pineapple or 4 ounces fruit cocktail or 4 ounces frozen bananas or 4 ounces strawberries or 4 ounces cranberry sauce or 4 ounces applesauce (whatever you like--i like to use the little plastic containers for kid's lunch boxes, that have been) |
3 ounces silken tofu or 3 ounces firm tofu, drained. |
3 tablespoons dry milk, plus |
4 ounces water (or 4 ounces of soymilk) |
3 tablespoons sugar or 3 tablespoons other artificial sweetener (or to taste, depending on fruit, i use splenda) |
2 ice cubes, can be added and use 1 less ounce of water to make it slushy (optional) |
Directions:
1. Dump all ingredients in blender.
2. Do not thaw fruit.
3. Use pulse feature of blender until fruit is crushed and smooth.
4. Use liquify feature of blender for about 2 minutes to liquify and aerate the smoothie.
5. Pour in pretty glass and enjoy your delicious protein!
