A
lonely little box of tofu once sat in my refrigerator for over
three weeks while I worked up the courage to try adding soy
products to my diet. What a surprise when I used it in place of
plain yogurt; it was absolutely delicious. Tofu or soybean curd
is made from curdled soy milk and is low in calories but high in
protein. It is also perfect for a quick breakfast or after
workout protein boost.
½ (12.3-ounce) box low-fat/lite tofu
¾ cup
fresh or canned pineapple pieces, frozen
1
small banana, peeled
1 cup
orange juice from frozen concentrate
2
tablespoons orange blossom honey
1 ½
tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
A few
drops imitation coconut flavoring
1. Blend
the tofu, pineapple pieces, banana, orange juice,
honey,
lemon juice and coconut flavoring in a blender.
2. When smooth,
pour into 2 glasses and serve with straws.
Hint
1: To make 4 fizzy drinks, pour ½ smoothie and ½
ginger
ale into four glasses. Serve with straws. You may also
want
to vary the fruit and flavorings for endless possibilities
or
add up to 4 ice cubes and blend for an icy drink.
Hint
2: Substitute a 12-ounce bag of frozen Tropical Fruit
Mix
for the pineapple and banana.
Makes 2 to 4 drinks
