Ingredients
Ingredients (use vegan versions):
- 4 oz (1/4 package) silken tofu
- some fruit--I like to use:
- 1/2 banana, in 1 inch chunks
- 4 to 6 strawberries, cut in half lengthwise, and the stems cut off
- 4 ice cubes*
- 1-2 cups vegan soymilk (I use vanilla)
- 1-2 cups orange juice (or any other flavor, but it should ideally be different from your fruits and the fruit juice concentrate)
- a couple teaspoons of fruit juice concentrate, any flavor (again, make sure it''s vegan. if you can''t find any just leave it out, add another ice cube and a bit more orange juice.)
- 1/4 cup vegan sugar
Crush the ice in the blender*. Add the rest of the ingredients and blend. This is a good breakfast smoothie. Whenever I feel tired after having just got up, any food, and especially this smoothie, helps me be more awake. It is also good for hot days. I usually double the recipe. Enjoy!
*If your fridge makes crushed ice then use about 1/2 cup crushed ice and just add all the ingredients at once.
Serves: makes 1 serving, but usually I make 2 servings so I can use the whole banana.
Preparation time: about 15 min.
