Healthy vegan shake - great for breakfast

Ingredients

¾ cup 100% fruit juice diluted with ¼ cup water

1 Banana

¼ - ½ cup Silken tofu

Handful of mixed berries or fresh or frozen fruit (peaches, raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, etc)

Optional items to add:

1 tbsp Ground flax seeds or hemp hearts (optional)

1-2 tsp Greens Plus (optional)

1-2 tbsp Protein powder (optional)

Preparation

Play around with the amounts of each of these. Some people prefer more silken tofu (1/2 cup) to make the shake thicker. Or more fresh fruit, so it’s more like a fruit smoothie.

Add water to reach desired consistency (optional).

Place all ingredients into a blender. (It is best to put liquids in first).

Blend until smooth and enjoy!

Cook's Notes

Berries taste sweet and delicious, but tend to be low on the glycemic index. This means that berries do not cause a major spike in blood sugar and are the preferred fruit snacks for weight loss and diabetics. Dark blue, purple or black pigments in berries have excellent antioxidant properties and may have a special role in protecting the retina and other structures in the eye.
