Orange Banana Tofu Cooler

Tofu makes this drink smooth and creamy without the addition of milk or cream. The lemon color is pretty in the summer. I use a Spanish almond blossom honey which may be ordered through www.zingermans.com. They also carry a French lavender, Italian herb and a thyme flavored honey. Lavender adds a subtle, distinctive flavor and is also part of a seasoning mixture called Herbes de Provence. A sprig of lavender brightens your
dishes or can add whimsy to a glass of lemonade.

    ½ (12.3-ounce) box low-fat tofu
    2 cups orange juice, made from frozen concentrate
    1 banana, peeled
    2 tablespoons Spanish almond blossom honey
    ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
    6 ice cubes

1. Blend the tofu, orange juice, banana, honey and
     vanilla extract in a blender until smooth.

2. Add ice cubes and use the ice crushing button to slowly crush
     the ice to produce little slivers of ice throughout the drink,
     giving it a different texture.

3. Pour into two tall glasses and serve with straws.

     Makes two 16-ounce servings
