A healthy AND yummy smoothie!

Ok, this has tofu in it, I’m telling you all right up front no sense in trying to hide it.  HEY!  Do NOT make that face at me, try this before you sneer!  I made it for my mom a lot when she had trouble eating much and she was picky! picky! picky!!!  And she loved them.  Decent amount of healthy protein, good vitamins etc.

Great for breakfast, don’t tell your kids or the spouse that they’re healthy and they’ll never know they aren’t getting a treat. Just leave the wheat germ out at first, work your way up to that though I like it in there.

DO look for the silken Tofu which is usually in the produce section.  This is the secret to not getting a funky texture but it can be a little tricky to find in certain markets though it’s getting easier all the time.  Tofu isn’t just for weirdoes anymore, and remember, OPEN MIND!

Ingredients

8oz Orange Juice

8oz Silken Tofu

One ripe banana

1 teaspoon or so of Vanilla

Some Honey if desired.  I like maybe a tablespoon full, but don’t overdo till you taste it!

1 to 3 tablespoons of wheat germ (optional but pretty good when I’m in the mood)

Add any other fresh or frozen fruit you have on hand if you want and whiz it all in the blender, pour and enjoy it!
