Smoothies

So many variations! But a base that has been working for us:

• 1/2 a container (8 oz) silken tofu
• a handful of fresh or frozen spinach
• 2-3 spoonfuls of plan yogurt
• unsweetened vanilla or plain almond milk, or coconut milk, or dairy milk, or a combo

Blend and then for creaminess, add:

• frozen banana, and/or
• frozen avocado

Blend. At this point it looks a bit like ranch dressing and is ready for flavoring/texture.

Things we use, not necessarily all together:

• frozen fruit
• nut butter
• cocoa powder
• ground flax seed
• oatmeal
• chia seeds
• spices (cinnamon, cardamom)

We rarely need a sweetener, but if we do, we might add a bit of maple syrup. We add more milk or water as needed.
