Hi friends!

This Silken Tofu Berry Smoothie is the latest obsession at our house and I’m so excited to share it with you. Both of my boys love smoothies as a snack so I’m always looking for new variations that are both simple enough that I usually have the ingredients on hand, and filling enough to tide them over until their next meal (ie not made with just fruit).

Why add silken tofu to smoothies?

There are lots of benefits of adding silken tofu to a smoothie. It will definitely increase the protein content of your smoothie but it will also up the creaminess factor considerably! If you’re looking for a creamy smoothie, especially if you’re looking for a non-dairy option besides yogurt, silken tofu is a great option.

Ingredients For Silken Tofu Berry Smoothie

It’s taken some tweaks and adjustments but we’ve finally landed on this winner. Let’s review what’s in it:

• Frozen berries- Any frozen fruit will work in this recipe. We use berries but frozen bananas, peaches, etc also work well.
• Spinach – This is optional and you can use fresh or frozen baby spinach. Whenever I grocery shop I buy a bag or two of baby spinach and pop them in the freezer immediately. Then just open and grab a couple handfuls of frozen leaves to add.
• Milk- we use cows milk but you can easily use a plant-based milk for a dairy-free version
• Orange juice- this is optional as well. I like to add a splash for additional flavor
• Silken tofu- make sure it’s silken for smoothies. Just spoon in half the package. It has a similar consistency to Greek yogurt!
• Nut butter – I love to add a spoonful of peanut or almond butter to my smoothies for some extra healthy fats

What To Add To Silken Tofu Breakfast Smoothie

If you’re looking for extra smoothie additions to this smoothie, try a couple of scoops of ground flax, chia seeds or hemp seeds.

You can also add toppings like pumpkin seeds, slivered almonds, additional sliced fruit and more!

So easy and so delicious. Also, if you don’t already have them, get some mason jars with lids. I make a big batch of smoothies, portion into 8oz glass jars and freeze. Then when my kids want them for snacks, I just remove the lid, microwave for 45 seconds and serve!

I would not recommend using any other tofu varieties in this smoothie. Silken tofu has a unique texture that blends well into smoothies. Firm or extra firm tofu will alter the texture.
