Ingredients
Please note that below is a guide for some of the ingredients we used in the recipe. The printable recipe further down the page has the complete list of ingredients, including quantities and step-by-step instructions.
Silken tofu (or Japanese tofu) is soft and smooth and will fall apart easily when handled. It is used for making savory dishes like sesame ginger tofu or in desserts like this orange pudding.
Milk - we used homemade soy milk, but you can use other plant milk like; coconut milk, almond milk, or dairy milk if you prefer.
Banana - Use a ripe banana for natural sweetness.
Spinach leaves - pick through these and wash them well after removing the roots because they can be very sandy.
Kiwi fruit - for added flavor and sweetness.
If you have never tried kiwi fruit before, you need to peel it before blending - find instructions here for how to cut kiwi fruit.
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.

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 makes the smoothie 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.
