I am seeing lot of desserts made with Tofu these days and i have been having this hesitation to try a dessert with Tofu. Now that we got used to the savory recipes of Tofu and have even started liking them, i wanted to explore in the other direction as well :-) Started with a simple smoothie with my kids favorite - strawberries.
Ingredients :
Silken Tofu - 1/2 pack (about 7oz)
Silken Tofu - 1/2 pack (about 7oz)
Strawberries - about 12
Sugar - as required
Milk - 1/2 cup (optional)
Method : Puree strawberries and tofu in a blender with sugar. Add water or milk to get desired consistency.
The first time i tried with just water and it tasted good, but i felt slight bitterness after i had it.
I added milk to it and it tasted better.
Verdict :
It is definitely good and i will make it again and again, but it will not replace the strawberry milkshake if you love milk, like me! :) My kids had some and said it was good, but did not inhale it like how they inhale the swad mango juice ;-)
I liked it for another reason too - It can be used as a breakfast smoothie on busy mornings where one tends to skip the breakfast.
I am sending this to :
1. Mahi's 15 minute cooking event.
2. Priti's Festive Food : Summer Splash
3. Anu's Refreshing Drinks event.
Along with this i am sending the following drinks for Refreshing Drinks and Festive Food : Summer Splash events. :
Dates and Almonds Milkshake - A very healthy drink with no sugar.
