Notes

-Most tofu smoothie recipes call for silken tofu, but I find most people are more likely to have firm tofu on hand. The good news is that firm tofu blends up great! You may have little tofu chunkies on the walls of your blender, which is why it's important to stop, scrape the sides, and blend again.

-I like to use frozen strawberries that are sort of half-thawed for this recipe. Not only the smoothie blend more easily, but the smoothie turns out a bit sweeter as the berries have released some of their juices.

-I have also tested this recipe with a blend of frozen strawberries and frozen mango, and it's very tasty!
