This healthy recipe is filled with full rich flavor of mangoes and raspberries; a full size drink will contain 90% of daily vitamin C required, plus 75% beta carotene.
Raspberries and mangoes contain multiple anti-oxidants. Blending these fruits with soft tofu will fill you full of multiple powerful immune boosters. A soy based beverage instead of cow’s milk, will lower your cholesterol and help you build your immune system.
You have the choice of making a milkshake or soft tofu smoothie. Tofu when blended will provide you with a smoothie, and please note, tofu will take on the taste of any flavor you combine it with.
INGREDIENTS:
1 mango diced
1 cup raspberries washed
1 soft tofu package (8 ounces)
FOLLOW ME:
Place tofu in blender with raspberries and diced mangoes.
Pulse blend until fruits are softened and then blend on medium high for only 1 minute.
Pour into three 8 ounce glasses.
Healthy Recipe serves 3 glasses of smoothie.
