Banana-Berry Smoothie

This is delicious and great for a quick breakfast on the go,
This bright and easy breakfast packs two servings of fruit plus soy protein and fiber.



I got it from the Eating Well site: http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/banana_berry_smoothie.html


INGREDIENTS

  • 1 1/4 cups orange juice
  • 1 ripe medium banana, peeled and sliced
  • 1 cup frozen blueberries, blackberries or raspberries
  • 1/2 cup silken tofu
  • 2 ice cubes, crushed (you don't have to use the ice, I used mixed berries which works just as well)
  • 1 tablespoon sugar, (optional) I left it aside




PREPARATION

Combine orange juice, banana, berries, tofu and crushed ice in a blender; 

cover and blend until smooth and frothy. Sweeten with sugar, if desired. 

Serve immediately.
