Silken tofu (or Japanese tofu) is very soft and smooth and will fall apart easily when handled. It is a popular ingredient in vegan and vegetarian cooking and is used in dairy-free desserts, smoothies, and sauces. 

Milk - we used our homemade soy milk, but you can use other plant milk like unsweetened almond milk or dairy milk.

Banana - Use a ripe banana for natural sweetness.

Sweetener (optional) - use a sweetener of your choice, such as white granulated sugar or honey. Or make it vegan by using maple syrup, monk fruit sugar, or beet sugar.

Cocoa Powder - use unsweetened cocoa powder.

Walnuts - are a good source of plant protein that will help keep you fuller for longer. 

Vanilla extract - helps to enhance all the flavors in the chocolate tofu smoothie making it taste even better.

Equipment

You will need a high-speed blender or food processor.

Instructions

Recipe Tips

Use frozen banana - slice the banana the night before and freeze to use the next day. Freezing the bananas and using frozen berries in smoothies makes them thick and well-chilled.

Use ice cubes - if you don't want to freeze the banana or are using fresh berries, you can cool the smoothie down by blending in 3-4 ice cubes.

FAQ

What can I use instead of tofu?

If you don't have tofu you could swap it out for avocado, frozen cooked sweet potato, any type of nut butter or add more banana.
