This is really not very healthy. Carbs of 2+ cans of regular coke and calories of 3 cans of coke!!! Fruit smoothies are a recipe for diabetes.
Instant way to raise your blood sugar…I thought we were trying to get healthy these days… sugar bombs hiding as fruit smoothies isn’t the way tongo
I love tofu and never thought to use it in a smoothie. Thanks!
Would that it worked. A smoothie with tofu tastes like tofu. Not pleasant.
Great to make something plant based. Silken tofu helps make so many dressings, sauces, soups, desserts creamy and decadent.
👍As a suggested future topic(s): I'd love to see how to prep & use some of the more exotic fruits and vegetables. A lot of the tropical fruits and veggies are a mystery. 👍
all the fragon fruits I have had in the US are disappointing. When I eat dragon fruit in asia, they are so sweet
I’ll definitely make this. Looks so good
Thanks for the tip to use silken tofu for a dairy free smoothy
Water and tofu? Sounds nasty but okay
❤❤
Dragon Fruit is high in oxalates.
Stay away! ☠
Thank you ATK!
The protein in tofu is not great. Plus, there's the hormone disruptors.
Pitaya!
Glad to hear that silken tofu is finally getting more recognition as a substitute for greek yogurt. It's such a versatile product!
Can you substitute yogurt for Tofu in flatbread recipes?
I’m disappointed that she didn’t show us how to prepare the fruit. She just used frozen…
Yay for the plant-based primary option for this recipe! Thanks
I wonder if cow's milk or a non-dairy milk could be used instead of water . . .
The most essential ingredient for a smoooothie, is a VitaMix! 😉
Absolutely no chunks using a Vitamix blender
Looks amazing! Thank you for sharing this recipe that I can’t wait to try!
Thank you !! ATK always your my favorite ❤️
Wow what a delicious looking smoothie. Can’t wait to try, ATK!
