I've been wanting to try tofu and found a recipe in my smoothie book that contains it for that extra punch of protein. It's VERY low in points too--BONUS! Seeing how I bought a bunch of cherries on sale, I Figured this would be the one. The smooth tofu available to me in my local store is a little too smooth/soft I think because even after freezing the cherries it doesn't have a lot of body to it, but the photo in the pamphlet has it looking very thick. It's good though with the cherry and orange juice being the predominant flavors and doubling it up is only 4 Weight Watchers points! The good news is I can get the kids to drink it too.
Ingredients:
3/4 cup soymilk or milk (I went with the soy)
3/4 cup orange juice, chilled
3/4 cup frozen unsweetened, pitted dark sweet cherries whole, or strawberries or peach slices
1 medium carrot, cut up and chilled
1/4 cup soft tofu (fresh bean curd)
1 Tbsp. honey (optional)
Directions:
Put all ingredients into the blender EXCEPT the honey and blend until smooth. Add in 1 tablespoon of optional honey and blend again. (Putting honey into smoothies atop frozen items can cause it to seize a little and not blend very well.)
Serves: 2
Points: 2 point per serving
