Illustrative recipe imageWhy this smoothie works
- Creamy without dairy yogurt
- No banana or protein powder needed
- Approximately 15 g protein from the measured blend
Ingredients
1 serving- 1 cup (140 g)frozen mixed berries
- 1/2 cup (124 g)silken tofu, Use a ready-to-eat product and follow its label
- 1 cup (about 240 ml)unsweetened soy milk
- 1/2 tspvanilla extract
The method
Let’s blend this.
Silken tofu disappears into the berries when it is blended with the milk first. Firm tofu is a different texture and is not a direct swap here.
Your kitchen companion
Tap the check beside each step as you go.
Prepare the silken base
Open the tofu, drain off loose packing liquid and measure the portion. Put the soy milk, tofu and vanilla into the blender.
Your cue: Silken tofu should be soft and spoonable, not a pressed firm block.
15–20 seconds
Make the base completely smooth
Secure the lid and blend for 15–20 seconds, stopping once the tofu has disappeared into the milk.
Your cue: The pale base should look even, without white tofu pieces floating at the top.
30–45 seconds
Blend in the berries
Stop the motor, add the frozen berries and replace the lid. Start slowly, then blend for another 30–45 seconds, pausing to scrape the sides only with the motor off.
Your cue: Look for a consistent pink-purple colour. A few tiny seed flecks are expected.
Adjust the pour, then serve
If the mixture will not circulate, add a tablespoon of water and blend again. Pour into a glass and taste before adding a sweetener; the berries determine how tart this batch will be.
Your cue: It should feel creamy, with berry seeds rather than tofu lumps.
The finish line
Here’s what you’re aiming for.
Serve in a glass while cold. Tiny berry seeds are normal; straining them out changes both the texture and fibre content.
Too thick, thin or grainy?Blending times are starting points; use the texture cues and your blender’s instructions. Loading order is for a typical upright jug. Switch off before scraping or tasting, and never put utensils into moving blades.
Pro tips
- This recipe contains soy. Dairy-free does not mean suitable for every allergy.
- Use berries according to package preparation instructions, particularly if the label says to heat them before eating. Cool fully before blending.
- Plain silken tofu keeps the flavour neutral. Sweetened tofu desserts will change the taste and nutrition.
