Main Ingredients
- 8 Ounces Silken Tofu
- 1 Cup Unsweetened Soy Milk (or other plant-based milk)
- 2 Tablespoons Peanut Butter (or any other nut or seed butter)
- 2 Tablespoons Hemp Seeds
- 2 Tablespoons Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 1 Cup Frozen Fruit (e.g., frozen sweet cherries)
- Load up the blender: Add the silken tofu to the blender first to minimize splattering, followed by the soy milk.
- Add remaining ingredients: Add the peanut butter, hemp seeds, cocoa powder, and frozen fruit on top, then secure the blender lid tightly.
- Blend: Blend all ingredients until smooth, occasionally stopping to scrape down the sides with a spatula if needed to incorporate any cocoa powder stuck to the blender walls.
- Taste and adjust: Sample the smoothie. If it’s not sweet enough, add more fruit or a natural sweetener like maple syrup, agave, or a Medjool date. To increase chocolate flavor, add more cocoa powder. Blend again as needed to adjust flavor to your liking.
- Serve: Pour the smoothie into a large glass or jar and enjoy immediately. This recipe yields enough for a meal replacement portion.
- Store leftovers: If you have any leftover smoothie, transfer it to a jar and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
Notes
- Silken tofu can be substituted with soft tofu or blended white beans for a different texture.
- Plant-based milk types will affect protein content; soy milk provides the most protein among common options.
- Peanut butter can be replaced with almond butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter for variation.
- Hemp seeds can be substituted with chia seeds or flaxseeds if preferred.
- Frozen fruit options include bananas, berries, mango, or a mix to alter sweetness and flavor profile.
- The smoothie serves as a vegan, protein-rich meal replacement, with natural sugars from fruit and optional sweeteners.
