I whipped this together tonight because we had baked zucchini and tomatoes -- which is super-tasty and very good for you -- but has very little protein. This was sweet, creamy and smooth... almost a drinkable dessert.
1 frozen banana
1 handful berries
6 oz. silken tofu (the vacuum-packed kind)
2 Tbsp natural peanut butter
1 tsp hemp seed nuts (optional)
1 handful raw cashews (optional)
1 cup soy milk
1/4 cup fruit juice
2 Tbsp cocoa powder
Puree all ingredients in a blender for a few minutes, or until very smooth. Taste and adjust ingredients to your liking. Makes 2-3 8-oz. servings.
Ingredient Notes: Smoothies tend to get all of my pantry leftovers. I used the last of my farmer's market strawberries, which were a little overripe. I used Bolthouse Farms' Green Goodness smoothie for my fruit juice, and Mori-Nu Mates chocolate pudding mix instead of cocoa powder.
