It’s not a milkshake, however, since it’s non-dairy. This is a healthy vegan non-dairy treat that’s full of plant-powered protein. Flax meal can be added to this recipe to provide some extra fiber.

Tofu is another key ingredient in this smoothie recipe:

When blended with fruit, it tastes sweet and offers an incredibly creamy consistency similar to Greek yogurt but without a drop of dairy. Most people would probably think to reach for silken tofu for a super-smooth consistency, but if blended enough, soft tofu is equally smooth and offers more protein.
