Adding silken tofu to your smoothies will boost the protein in them and make them extra creamy!

- 1 1/2 cups Soy Milk
- 2 servings Vegan Vanilla Protein Powder I used Earth Chimp

Instructions
- Literally just blend everything in a blender; would recommend putting the milk in first so it blends easier.

Notes
Soy-free Option:
- Omit the silken tofu – if you’re still wanting the same macros, add an extra scoop of protein powder to make up for this.
- Instead of Soy Milk, use a different non-dairy milk. I like Oat Milk or Cashew Milk because they are creamier!

Smoothies are one of the easiest ways to get in a bunch of fruit, veggies and protein first thing in the morning and start the day out strong! My trick for extra creamy, protein-filled smoothies is silken tofu! It’s a flavorless ingredient, so you don’t have to worry about how it will taste in any smoothie. I also like to add a ton of spinach to my smoothies because it’s a such a healthy nutrient-filled veggie!
Ingredients
- Extra Firm Silken Tofu – any silken tofu would work great for this recipe, but my personal favorite is Mori-Nu Extra Firm Silken Tofu. This is a shelf-stable ingredient, and you can find this at most US grocery stores in the International Food Aisle. There’s also a refrigerated silken tofu option that hangs out with all of its other tofu buddies at the grocery store.
- Soy Milk – if you’re trying to make high protein smoothies, Soy Milk is the way to go. It has the most protein per calorie of all the non-dairy milks out there. Other non-dairy milks will definitely work in this recipe, but please note that the calories and macros may change slightly.
- Vegan Protein Powder – I really like Earth Chimp Vanilla Vegan Protein Powder for this recipe, as it has a nice subtle flavor but adds a bit of extra sweetness and more protein!
- Pineapple and Mango – I used frozen chunks of both of these fruits. You could really use any fruit here, and it doesn’t need to be frozen. Let your tastebuds be your guide!
- Baby Spinach – I feel like you just can’t add too much baby spinach to a smoothie. It’s a great and easy way to get some veggies in!
Instructions
- Smoothies are legit my favorite recipe to write because they’re just one step. Literally just dump all of your ingredients into the blender and blend until smooth! Since this is a rather thick smoothie, you might end up needing some spatula intervention. To help with this, add the milk first.
