The All-Banana Shake by Deborah Madison
"Entered for safe-keeping. From Deborah Madison's "This Can't Be Tofu!". She claims the taste is similar to a Mexican liquados (bananas, vanilla and Mexican cream). Orange flower water is used in Middle Eastern and Indian cooking; if you can't find it, you might try Recipe #110957 #110957. She suggests the following variations (which would no longer qualify as "all-banana" ) : 1/4 cup peanut butter or almond butter (an "Elvis"! evoking Elvis Presley's love of bananas with peanut butter); 2 tablespoons or more of chocolate syrup; both peanut butter and chocolate syrup; or 1/2 cup coconut milk plus a squeeze of lime juice. Cooking time is blender time."

this is wonderful! i especially liked that it's not too thick. fyi, there is 2c of soft tofu per 14oz package. ;) i couldn't detect the orange flower water. the nutmeg was excellent! i chose this for my dancer dd....some extra protein & potassium before she takes off to dance all day. We're going to have it again tomorrow! Thank you! Made for Veggie Swap.<br/><br/>edited to add: i made this again with more honey per dd's request (did NOT make it icky sweet), more orange blossom water (COULD detect it & it was a very nice flavor).<br/><br/>:) Bethie
