I’ve been making breakfast smoothies for so many years, the only thing that’s changed is that I was making them with whey protein in the past. I have nothing against whey protein and I know a lot of people love it for the extra protein in their diet, but most of the time it just didn’t sit well with my stomach and I would get the worst tummy rumbles! Having been a personal trainer for over 7 years, I for one know that there are SO many views out there on how much protein women need in their diet. We definitely need protein but I do believe that it is sometimes eaten in excess so the 9 g of protein that this breakfast smoothie adds to my diet is plenty for me because I get protein from other sources as well. Since I’ve been trying to cut back on my dairy intake I decided to use organic tofu. What’s great about tofu is that it not only adds protein but also structure and creaminess to the smoothie. It’s so easy to whip up and a great breakfast if you’re feeling rushed in the morning!
