Smoothies are my favorite go-to snack for the girls. I make them with boxed tofu and frozen fruit. That makes it super-easy to keep ingredients on hand. I have a light-weight blender, I'm not sure it would handle frozen fruit. So I defrost my fruit first. This makes a great thick smoothie that keeps well in the refrigerator.
For toilet-training reasons, we are currently trying to boost youngest-child's fiber intake. So I'm experimenting with new smoothie recipes, and omitting the usual bananas. Today's experiment turned out great. It was quite tart. A few teaspoons of sugar would make this more child-friendly while still making a healthy treat. My girls drank it down though, and asked for more.
Strawberry/Pear/Prune Smoothie
1 lb of frozen strawberries, partially or fully defrosted
1 can of pears, drained
15 prunes, soaked in 1/2 cup of hot water and then drained
1 box of Mori-Nu soft tofu
Blend until smooth. That's it.
