Sunday Smoothies: Mixed Berry-Peach with Tofu, Cranberry Juice and Spinach

Green Girl Goodies, September 2012

The combination of the berries, peaches and cranberry help to hide the tofu and spinach tastes, making it almost impossible to detect they are even there!  This smoothie still gets a good dose of protein from the tofu but isn’t as heavy as some of the smoothies that have soy milk and tofu.  I used frozen berries and peaches only because I had them on hand and was in a hurry.  Take advantage of the summer fruits and use fresh berries and peaches when available!

Yield 1 large 24 oz serving or 2 small 12 oz servings 

1 c Mixed Berries, fresh or frozen

1 c Peaches, fresh or frozen

½ Block Silken Tofu “Firm”, preferably Mori-Nu

1 c Spinach

1 ½ c Cranberry Juice

1 tb Agave

1 tb Chia Seed

-     Place the berries, peaches, spinach and juice into the blender. 

-     Add the agave, being careful to pour in the middle so it doesn’t get stuck on the sides of the blender.

-     Use your hand to crush up the tofu as you place it in the blender.

-     Blend well.  Pour into your desired serving glasses and split the Chia seeds accordingly amongst your servings.
