This
drink is beautiful, refreshing and perfect for summer evenings.
Vary this smoothie by adding 12 ounces of your favorite frozen
fruit and add more vanilla syrup or use honey to taste. You have
to try tofu to believe how good it is when mixed with fruit and
orange juice. Tofu naturally takes on the flavors of any food it
is mixed with and has been made in Asia for over 2,000 years.
The soybeans are soaked and then pureed and cooked to create soy
milk. This milk is mixed with a coagulant to make curds which
are then pressed into molds to form tofu. It is smooth and
silky, but rather bland on its own.
1/2 (12.3-ounce) box low-fat tofu
2 cups
orange juice made from frozen concentrate
1
(12-ounce) package mixed frozen berries
3
tablespoons vanilla syrup or honey to taste
1. Process
the tofu and orange juice in a blender.
2. Add half the
berries and syrup or honey; blend well. You
may
need to stir this thick mixture occasionally—while the
power
is off, of course.
3. Add in the rest
of the berries and blend well, stirring as needed
when
the blender is turned off.
4. Pour into two
tall glasses and serve with straws.
Hint:
If you prefer a thinner version, add more orange juice
and
sweeten to taste. Try other juices and fruit for variety.
Makes two 16-ounce servings
