Tutti-Fruity Tofu Smoothie
"If you would like to add some soy protein to your diet, this is a great smoothie--a really good way to get two serving of protein at one time. I am not vegetarian, just trying to eat healthy, so I use powdered milk and water, but you could substitute soy milk. I used firm tofu and it still turned out very smooth. It's a very versatile snack or meal-on-the-go."

I make these smoothies all the time. They are nutritious and delicious. My favorites are with strawberries or an orange which must be pureed to grind up the pulp.
