Chocolate Tofu Smoothie

Creamy, chocolatey and naturally sweet, you’d never know there’s silken tofu hiding in this smoothie. It adds plant-based protein and soy isoflavones, while cacao make it taste more like a chocolate shake than a nutrient-packed breakfast.

Chocolate Tofu Smoothie

3+ Plants

1/2 cup milk of choice

1-2 tbsp cacao

2 tsp maple syrup

1 cup silken tofu

Pinch salt

Instructions:

1. Add all the ingredients to a blender, and process until very smooth. Give it a taste and adjust the ingredients to your taste if needed.

Add more plants:

• Use a plant based milk such as soy, oat, coconut or almond.

• Nut or seed butter will add richness, plus some more protein, fibre and fats for added nutrition. Great for a more filling breakfast option. Peanut butter, almond or cashew butter are delicious.

• Half a frozen banana or some avocado makes the smoothie thicker and creamier.

• Mix up the flavour and antioxidants with some berries or a couple of fresh mint leaves.

Notes:

• If you decrease the milk and add in a tablespoon of chia seeds, you’ll end up with more of a pudding or mousse-like texture for a nutrient rich dessert, or a decadent breakfast.
