Peanut Butter Cup Smoothie
This smoothie seemed a little decadent, but no worries. It is plenty healthful.
I have used silken tofu here, not the firm, curdy type you are probably thinking of. Silken tofu usually comes in an aseptic package on a grocery aisle rather than in the produce department. Silken tofu has a smooth, creamy, custard-like texture and a very mild flavor. I promise that with the other stronger flavors, you would never, ever guess there was tofu present. But you would enjoy the health benefits of the soy bean along with a truly smooth creaminess. And it actually does taste like a liquid peanut butter cup. Yum.

~I just noticed that the recipe says to serve in small glasses--4 servings. Oops. I already drank the whole thing.~
I would have drank the whole thing too!
