Turns out you can have a delicious smoothie and sneak some tofu into your diet. I started experimenting with this because tofu contains a bit of Iron, and Vitamin C boosts the absorption of said Iron. So this seems like an easy way to get a little extra Iron into our low-meat diet. Miraculously, my kids loved it.

I have always wanted to try cooking with silken tofu, but I’ve never gotten up the nerve. This looks like a perfect way to slowly ease myself in! Thanks for the idea!
