Sunday Smoothies: Strawberry-Melon with Tofu, Spinach and Soy Milk




Green Girl Goodies, September 2012

Sticking with the summer melon theme, I this timed paired my mixed melons with strawberries and spinach for a simple yet delicious smoothie.

Yield 1 24 oz serving or 2 small 12 oz servings


½ c Honeydew
½ c Cantaloupe
1 c Strawberries
1 c Spinach
½ Block Silken Tofu “Firm”, preferably Mori-Nu
1 ½ c Soy Milk, Vanilla
1 tb Agave
1 tb Chia Seed

-     Place the melons and strawberry in the blender and add the soy milk. 


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


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

 

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