POWERHOUSE VEGGIE SMOOTHIE

Coping with Chemo’s Powerhouse Veggie Smoothie Recipe

SMOOTHIE BASE:

1 package tofu (we like Mori-Nu Extra-Firm Silken Tofu)
6-8 baby carrots or one large carrot
1 cup whole milk
2-4 scoops of Weight Gain powder. We recommend Naturade.

VEGETABLES:

1 cup orange juice
3/4 fresh or frozen unsweetened apple juice
1 cup chopped vegetables (such as celery or tomatoes) or frozen fruit

Optional nutritional supplements*

DIRECTIONS:

In a blender or Vitamix process the tofu, adding whole milk as needed to thin and blend until smooth. Next add Weight Gain powder. Finally, add the veggies or frozen fruit. Blend until smooth then add any other ingredients.

VARIATIONS:

You can vary the kinds of veggies and fruit you use. Just make sure you use unsweetened juices and for best results use frozen fruit instead of ice. *Visit our supplements page to adapt the smoothie for your nutritional needs and taste.
