Ingredient image for banana tofu smoothie.

Silken 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 to suit your diet, such as - coconut milk, almond milk, or dairy milk.

Banana - Use a ripe banana for natural sweetness.

Flax seed - is good for digestion, is full of fiber, is high in omega 3, and can help lower cholesterol. For this recipe, use ground flax seeds rather than whole seeds.

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.

Vanilla extract and cinnamon powder - these give a nice flavor to the smoothie. Add the vanilla and cinnamon powder to taste.

Equipment

You will need a high-speed blender or food processor to make this banana smoothie.

Recipe Tips

Use frozen banana - slice the banana the night before and freeze to use the next day. Freezing the bananas makes the smoothie thick and well-chilled.

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