Equipment

high speed blender

Ingredients

½ block silken tofu about 5oz/140g
1 large frozen banana *
½ cup ice cubes
¼ cup soy milk or other kinds of milk
1 tablespoon peanut butter or nut butter of choice
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 scoop protein powder about 30g (optional, but highly recommended)**
1 tablespoon maple syrup or another type of sweetener (optional)***

Instructions

Place all ingredients into a blender.
Blend until smooth. Serve and enjoy immediately.

Notes

*Frozen banana - Frozen banana works best. If you are using fresh banana, add a few more ice cubes for a colder smoothie.

**Protein powder - Although optional, I would recommend adding it for a higher protein and more satisfying protein.

***Maple syrup - Adjust to taste, or omit if you prefer the smoothie to be less sweet or if using a sweetened protein powder.

Helpful tips

Thickness of smoothie – Following this recipe yields a smoothie with a milkshake-like texture. You can slightly reduce the amount of milk added for a thicker consistency or add more milk to make a runnier smoothie.
Storing leftover tofu - Store the leftover tofu in an airtight container in the fridge for 2–3 days. You can use it to make another smoothie, top salads, or make ½ batch of my Japanese tofu salad.

Storing suggestions

Fridge – Store in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Discoloration is normal as banana oxidized.

Freezer – Pour the smoothie into silicone ice cube trays and freeze. When ready to enjoy, let the cubes thaw at room temperature for about 30 minutes or overnight in the fridge. Or, blend them with a splash of milk to enjoy immediately.
