Start the Year Strong with a Pineapple Banana Tofu Smoothie
Starting the new year with one smoothie a day is a simple, delicious way to boost your nutrition. What makes it even better?
My kids are now old enough to create their favorite smoothie blends on their own. Even my youngest, just eight years old, is fully on board—and as any parent knows, that’s a big win when it comes to healthy eating.
Smoothies are an excellent source of nutrients, especially first thing in the morning. They’re quick to make, easy to customize, and far more enjoyable than swallowing vitamins.
In our house, we love food in all its forms—indulgent and light—so including a smoothie in our daily routine helps us stay balanced.
If you’re hesitant about adding tofu to your smoothie, let me assure you: you won’t even taste it. Silken tofu adds creaminess and a dose of plant-based protein without altering the flavor. For the best texture, I recommend using organic soft or silken tofu.
My go-to brand is Nasoya USDA Organic Silken Tofu—non-GMO, gluten-free, and perfect for smoothies. With that being said, you can use any brand that you prefer.
