• 250 g tofu
• 1 banana
• 200 ml soy milk
• 200 g strawberries (fresh or frozen)
TASTY TIPS:
• add ice cubes to make smoothie thicker and colder
• add 1 tblsp of protein powder and/or a mix like GREENS+® to add that power pump (great for before or after a workout)
• add 1 tblsp flax seed oil for a daily dose of essential fatty acids, vitamins and minerals—which are fundamental in the function and structure of your brain. Regular intake results in improved memory and concentration
• when fresh fruit isn’t easy to find, frozen or unsweetened canned fruit is just as good.
Health Watch: Not all smoothies are created equal. You should really try to make these drinks yourself so you can control the freshness of the ingredients and to ensure low sugar levels.
