First, I've had this the past couple of mornings and it comes out to a yummy and substantial breakfast equivalent: It is a tofu Snickerdoodle Smoothie. (Courtesy of http://www.ultimatedanielfast.com/2010/08/snickerdoodle-smoothie.html) This is the original recipe, I altered it a tad for myself. I cut everything in half, but added a bit more almond milk so it wouldn't be too thick to drink through a straw. Try your own variation!
6 ounces silken tofu
½ cup unsweetened almond or rice milk
¼ cup Date Honey or Natural Organic Honey
2 frozen bananas, peeled, sliced (about 2 cups)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
Directions Place tofu, almond milk, Date Honey, banana slices, cinnamon, and nutmeg in blender. Mix until smooth.
Yield: 2 servings (serving size: about 1 ½ cups)
