Vegan Carrot & Raisins Smoothie

A healthy and super filling smoothie to have either for your breakfast or for a sunday brunch..I simply prepared this super thick and delicious smoothie with silken tofu,soya milk, grated carrots and black raisins..I used raw grated carrots in this smoothie,if you dont like it you can cook them either in pressure cooker or in a steamer..This smoothie turned out super smooth and creamy coz of the silken tofu i went for..You can feed easily this healthy and protein rich tofu to your kids by preparing as smoothies along with their favourite fruits..Give a try friends,you will just love it.


1cup Silken tofu
1cup Grated carrots
2tbsp Black raisins
Honey as per need
1/2cup Soya milk
Ice cubes

Soak the black raisins in hot water for few minutes, now take the silken tofu,grated carrots,soaked black raisins,honey,soya milk in a blender and blend as smooth paste, add water if needed..

Serve immediately with ice cubes.

Woww!! A smoothie with silken Tofu. Many a times, I would buy silken tofu and use it as a substitute for egg while baking. But, I wouldn't know what to do with the remaining silken Tofu and would often end up wasting it. Now, such a smoothie is a great idea to use them other than in baking. Thank you Priya for this great idea and for linking with Healthy Morsels - Pregnancy :)
