Ingredients

Smoothie:

1 cup frozen strawberries (don't defrost, if using fresh berries, freeze them first)
1 cup ice
1 cup ice water
1/2 cup heavy cream (to lighten up, substitute water)
1/4 cup sugar substitute (recommended: Splenda)
3 1/2 ounces soft or silken tofu
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (there should be no sugar in the ingredient list--usually artificial types are best)

Garnish:

4 fresh strawberries
4 sprigs fresh mint

Directions

Make the Smoothie: Combine all the ingredients in a blender and pulse to chop everything up. Flip the switch to high and blend until smooth.

Pour the smoothie among 4 glasses, and garnish each with a strawberry and mint sprig.

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.Read more

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.Read more

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.Read more
