Why Add Tofu To a Smoothie?

Tofu is mild in flavour and blends beautifully into smoothies. It adds creaminess, plant protein, and staying power without the need for dairy or powders. If you’re not into chalky textures or pricey supplements, tofu is a nourishing and budget-friendly alternative and makes this a portfolio diet recipe.

Can You Taste The Tofu In The Smoothie?

Not you cannot taste the tofu in the smoothie. The tofu blends in smoothly and takes on the flavor of the blueberries and citrus. How do I know? My 4 year old son won’t eat tofu on it’s own, but will in this smoothie!

Why Wild Blubeberries?

While all blueberries offer health benefits, wild blueberries have the edge when it comes to nutrition. Wild blueberries are smaller, more intensely flavoured, and contain up to twice the antioxidants of conventional (cultivated) blueberries (1).

Their deep blue pigment comes from anthocyanins, powerful plant compounds shown to support brain and heart health, and reduce inflammation. Plus, wild blueberries are typically flash frozen at harvest, locking in their nutrients and making them a convenient and reliable option for year round use in recipes like this smoothie.
