Writer Fuel: Spinach and Tofu Shake
Now, now. Don’t make that face! Hear me out.
Best (healthiest, most protein-packed!) shake ever:
- yogurt (fruit or plain, full-fat or nonfat—your choice!)
- frozen berries (strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries are all great)
- and/or fresh fruit (peaches are in season and they are yum!)
- 1 banana
- a handful of spinach (I add two!)
- 1 serving of tofu (roughly 1/5 of a container)
- a splash of milk or orange juice (or even water! The more liquid you add, the less thick it will be.)
Our fabulous Community Liaison Sarah Mackey shared this recipe with me. (Thanks, Sarah!) I fully recognize that it sounds repulsive, but you can’t judge a shake by its ingredients. This is so delicious that it’s more like a sinful treat than anything I’d ever brand as health food. And it more than fills me up until lunchtime, giving me the protein I need to karate chop site bugs and write pep for our participants!
What is your favorite delicious recipe with unexpected ingredients?
