Tofu Smoothie Success!

I was pretty impressed with this morning's smoothie experimental outcome.

The flavor was mild but pleasant, filling, not too sweet, and none of the ingredients seemed to overwhelm.  The only change I would make to this morning's smoothie would be to leave out the almond butter or sub it for a creamier version.  I usually stick to the Trader Joe's raw almond butter.

Here's my variation:

1/3 cup extra firm tofu

1/3 cup whole milk

1/2 banana, frozen

2 Tbsp flaxseed meal

1 Tbsp almond butter (optional)

1/4 cup wild blueberries, frozen

1/4 cup chopped spinach, frozen (you would never be able to guess this was in there!)

1/4 cup water

3) et Voila!

First, grind the flaxseeds if you haven't already.  I did this with a clean coffee grinder and it only took 10 seconds.

Step 1

2) Whir it up 10 seconds

First measure out your tofu, milk, flaxseed, almond butter (if using) and put them all in the blender with the banana.

Mix it all up!

Scrape down the sides of the blender and add the blueberries and spinach.  Blend it until smooth adding water as needed.
* I did add the full 1/4 cup of water since my blender is not like those high powered Vitamix.  Sure I wish I had one of those babies!



Pretty and Purple, I had my breakfast on-the-go!

So pretty!
