Breakfast smoothie recipe needed

[Alexa]

I've finally got a little bit tired of eggs. I was wondering if it would be possible to make a breakfast smoothie with cream, berries or cocoa powder BUT I don't want to use protein powder. I remember reading something about tofu smoothies but wasn't sure if these would be nice (not a huge tofu fan) or which kind of tofu to use.

Any ideas?

Silken tofu works great! It sort of replaces the banana/creaminess factor. Use 1 or 2 servings of silken tofu for your smoothie, plus heavy cream, berries, and maybe a drop or two of extract for flavor. If it's not sweet enough for you, you could add a bit of splenda, or stevia, or SF flavored syrup.

Oh and make sure the firmness is "silken". THere's also a BRAND of tofu called Silken, but it comes in firm, silken, extra-firm varieties, etc.
