How many of you are brave enough to take the Purple Power Smoothie Challenge? I have been making this smoothie for the past week or so and we all love it. Of course, some of the smaller people in the house don't know what's in it. They know what's in mine and just assume I take it out of theirs. Isn't child logic interesting? This recipe came from Cuisine at Home Magazine, February 2009.
Makes 1 smoothie
1/2 banana
1/2 cup frozen blueberries
1/2 cup acai-blueberry juice
1/4 cup soft silken tofu
1/4 cup soy milk
1 tsp lemon juice
Process in blender until smooth. Done.

I never could find the acai-blueberry juice so I bought one that also included pomegranate. Also, Tofu has no taste. I REPEAT, TOFU HAS NO TASTE. It is like a flavor sponge so it will absorb whatever you put with it. If you put it with blueberries, it will taste like blueberries. If you put it with strawberries, it will taste like strawberries. If you put it with snozberries, it will taste like snozberries. This calls for the silken tofu, which is different than the chunky kind you see in Chinese food. Oh, just try it. Let me know if you do it and what you think.
