It was a huge sucess!

Emo23Kitten - March 9, 2007 10:03:21 AM PST

There are seven of us heading out the door in the morning, so breakfast is always a hassal. I was cautious to use tofu, the kids don\'t much care for it, but I figured I\'d give it a whirl and if they liked it, tell them later. It was a huge sucess! Even the six year old thought it was great (even after I told them all it had tofu) and they ask for at least two or three times a week now. And it\'s so easy, and very dish-washer friendly. Definately something that will go in my permenant recipe book.

Instead of using Tofu,Try using Low fat or fat free frozen yogurt. Instead of apple juice use water and add some crushable ice to it. This will cut down on Carbs and sugar and you will still have a great tasting smoothie..I sell these in my shop. Add a little protein powder to it and you have a terrific meal subsitution

Um, how big IS that banana?

moxiemight - July 24, 2007 12:49:21 PM PST

According to my calc:

1 cup frozen mixed (unsweetened) berries = 77 cal, 20 gr of carb, 10 gr of sugar
1/2 cup apple juice = 58 cal, 13.5 gr of sugar/carb
1/2 banana (~roughly 1/2 cup smashed) = 100 cal, 25 gr carb, 14 gr of sugar
1/4 cup silken tofu ~ 33 cal, 1 gr carb, 1 gr of sugar

That comes to: 268 calories, 60 gr of carbs, 39 gr of sugar.

How big is that banana that the recipe maker is cutting in half???

I guess I am confused..good or bad?

There are 90g carbs in this diet. I am concerned not about whether or not I would like it , it sounds great. But is this the kind of smoothie that would make me feel like I will need a nap in a couple hours, or will I be good to go? I already have sleepiness problems at work :)

this recipe is great with a few special ingredients: fresh lime juice and a bit of ginger. really gives it a zing. although you may have to bust out the juicer to get these two in there it\'s worth it! 2 limes and a decent amount of ginger.

Yummy smoothies!!

SmrtNurse - July 29, 2007 09:28:08 PM PST

A lot of calories! And I don\'t know where they all come from. Half of a medium sized banana has about 50 calories! Maybe from the tofu?
I have a great recipe:

1 cup frozen strawberries
1 cup light vanilla soy milk
1 (6 oz) container sugar-free yogurt- any flavor

Just mix up in a blender- makes a big smoothie with only about 220 calories!!! The reduced calorie soymilk with the yogurt packs in some good protein- plus no added sugar!!! :)

I\'ve tried a very similar recipe to this. It\'s real good. But my family didn\'t like it much. I guess since I\'m a "health nut" I enjoyed it!

Mmmmm

Much of the 90 g of carbs probably comes from the apple juice. Replace the juice with water and the carb count should come down.

Yum-O!

MMMM! Looks delish! The 90 carbohydrates aren\'t a big deal cause carbohydrates is energy that you can use to exercise like jogging. And the more carbohydrates you can get the more energy you can use to exercise! And I love Exercise!

Why tofu

Jerry - June 4, 2009 09:35:58 AM PST

The apple juice no doubt helps but then why Tofu, instead we can have milk or yogurt. That really helps ....
