    We had Miso Soup last night for dinner, & had leftover firm tofu. Well, I rarely use tofu & we are out of Yogurt for smoothies so I used this recipe & I was AMAZED! I've made a "smoothie" with frozen strawberries & vanilla ice cream before & I didn't like it that much it was waay too rich & just tasted weird. I cannot believe that tofu is the secret! It's light, but creamy! The only thing is my older daughter (3 hates bananas & thought I snuck some banana in there so she didn't like it as much, but my younger daughter drank hers, and some of mine!

    MY ingredients: Froz. Strawberries, Peaches, Milk, Vanilla, Sugar, Tofu, (wish I had mint! My usual smoothie: 1 Yogurt (vanilla or any flavor, frozen fruit, & juice SO delicious & healthy!

    Definitely adding this to my recipe box, and will be making it again!

    My fiance and I love smoothies, and he is one of the few guys I know who doesn't mind tofu. I made this for breakfast, and we were so pleased! I ended up substituting a few ingredients: didn't have cream so I used a splash of 2% milk and 2 tablespoons of vanilla ice cream, frozen mixed berries instead of strawberries, and a tablespoon of sugar since I didn't have a sugar substitute on hand. And I'm out of vanilla extract. lol It tasted fantastic. We love oatmeal in our smoothies, because they make them very filling, so I might try adding that when I make this for breakfast. However, I was really surprised and happy with how light and refreshing this was, so we'll see.

    Very nice exactly as written. I usually follow the recipe then if I like it I change it to my taste. This recipe is a winner and I wouldn't change anything!

    My kids, hubby & I loved this! My husband claims he hates tofu... well, guess what? He didn't even know it was in there! I did substitute sugar (same measure for splenda.

    Quarter cup of Splenda is too much - 1/8 cup is more than plenty, as the strawberries are sweet. For a low calorie diet, the cream can be eliminated without being substituted with water or anything else, since the tofu does the job of thickening. Tofu smoothie is a great idea that works.

    I can't believe that this is a healthy recipe. My husband was scared to try it when I told them that there was tofu in it, but then after he tried it he loved it. Very good.

    It was great the first time, then we replaced the water with O.J. even better!

    I thought this would be a good smoothie, but not this good! It kind of reminded me of an orange julius in a way. One thing I added was some soy protein, but flavor wise this was very good. Next time I will try substituting heavy cream for milk and see if the taste is still there.

    We made this last night and both my husband and I thought it was very tasty. A good substitute for all of the really bad fattening one's out there. Try it and you'll like it.
