After seeing a couple of different recipes, I came up with this smoothie recipe. I actually kind of eyeballed everything, so here are the guesstimates. This recipe goes along with my review & giveaway from this post. I used my new blender for this, which came with a thermal cooler you blend the smoothie right into. I mixed up some in that and saved it for the kids, and it really worked! I'll admit I don't make a lot of smoothies, but I thought they'd love a cold frosty treat. My oldest and I loved it, but the 2 little ones didn't care for it. lol. Maybe if I put a dollop of whipped cream on top for them?
1/2 cup soft silken Tofu (they'll never know!)
1/2 cup low fat vanilla yogurt
3/4 cut banana
1/2 cup fresh strawberries (I froze diced strawberries)
1/2 cup fresh peaches (I froze diced peaches)
1/2 cup orange juice (I used fresh OJ from frozen ice cubes I made -3-4 cubes)
1 apple sauce cup (I used Musselman's Healthy Picks Key Lime Cupuaçu)
Blend all the fruits with the tofu, yogurt, apple sauce and orange juice until smooth.

i could have used that one earlier today...hot and muggy. dh would not have given me the chance after cutting up the tree that fell over the fence during the heavy storming we had!
ReplyDeleteLooks good, I will give it a try.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a great smoothie recipe. I'd love to incorporate tofu into our diet using this recipe. I love smoothies in the summer - and this one sounds like a great blend of fruits & protein!
