Too meaty to be a spritzer or cooler and much too light in flavor to be very tasty or complex. Still, it's a step in the right direction for tofu. Give it a couple more decades, maybe someone will actually start liking the stuff. Also very VERY unsettling is the fact that in the show, after adding the 6 oz. of cranberry juice, the sidebar mentions that it is equivalent to 2 cups. Now I'm no scientist, but from what I can tell, water-type liquids like juice, booze, and low-fat milks weigh in at 8 oz. a cup, hence the term 'fluid ounces'. So then, it would be safe to conclude that 2 cups worth would 16 oz., no? 6 oz. 16 oz. How did you mess that one up Alton?

I love this "shake"of sorts. I too add some sweetner, along with some frozen berries, sometimes even a banana. It makes a GREAT summer time breakfast.

This wasnt bad but really needed something more. We ended up adding about a cup and a half of frozen berries and two packets of sweet-n-low to cover ther Tofu taste. with these additions it was sweet and really filling. THANKS ALTON!!!

This was good. It certainly had a tangy flavor. I added just a pinch of sugar in the raw while blending and that was just what it needed to take the edge off. Very filling.

I tend to add a pinch of salt and some honey to this though, to bring out a little more sweetness. Substituting powdered Gatorade for lemonade also helps tang it up (due to the salt

A great idea, but the (relatively small amount of canned fruit, juice, and drink mix is not enough to give sufficient flavor to the entire block's worth of tofu. I rescued it by adding about 1-2 Tbsp. of cherry drink mix. Next time, though, I'd add more fruit and use a sweeter juice.

While skeptical, I gave this recipe a try. It is light and delicious, and very refreshing. I found that using a blended cranberry juice, such as peach cranberry, and using firm lite silken tofu led to a smoother drink with almost no chalky taste whatsoever. I also typically use a little more fruit than the recipe calls for.
