Strawberries and Raspberries smoothie

So you love smoothies but always feel guilty drinking a lot of sugar and lacking proteins when you enjoy one. And you don’t feel like having a veggie protein shake either … Then this one is for you: sweet but using berries which fructose and GI level are ok, and protein rich using silken tofu 🙂 and really pretty: we all love a pink smoothie, right ?

Some people might be reluctant to use tofu, I still use organic tofu to get some vegan proteins a few times a week. I have read many studies about soy and believe that if you eat it in moderation and buy the right stuff it is still a very good ingredient (though I don’t use soy milk often as I don’t like it’s taste). And don’t worry the smoothie doesn’t taste like tofu at all 🙂

The best thing with this smoothie is that it only takes 2 min, you can use frozen fruits when berries are not in season and you can customize it the way you like it.

Enjoy and let me know your thoughts if you make it.
