Homemade Dairy Free Smoothie
We drink a lot of smoothies at my house! I have been making healthy smoothies for my daughter from the first moment that she could sip through a straw.
Banana Bread is one of my favorite indulgent treats. So making a healthy smoothie version was a must.
I usually add Greek yogurt to my smoothies for protein and creaminess. But, I decided that it was time to create a Dairy Free Smoothie Recipe.
This Banana Bread Smoothie gets it’s protein and creaminess from silken tofu! If you are not the tofu type, no worries. Silken tofu has less flavor than Greek yogurt and it blends right into the smoothie. You won’t even notice it’s there . . . For Real! If you couldn’t care less about dairy free, go ahead and use Greek yogurt instead of tofu if you prefer.
For this smoothie you want extra ripe bananas. The more brown speckles the better! So this is a great way to use up your over-ripe bananas. If you keep bananas in your freezer I’m sure those will work too.

I have to admit, I’ve never tried silken tofu… but I’m going to trust you on this and am totally willing to try it 🙂 These blenders sound like the real deal!
Truthfully, this is the first time I have used silken tofu in a recipe. It never really crossed my mind. Like other types of tofu, it doesn’t really have much taste. It is the consistency of yogurt/custard so I’m brainstorming healthy dip recipes made with silken tofu!
Unless you like extra estrogen running through your body (which can cause tumors), I would avoid trying tofu. Any soy that has not been fermented is terrible for your health.
Love giveaways but I’m an old geezer and don’t tweet!
LOL! Honestly, I am clueless when it comes to twitter. The only reason I set up a twitter account was because I started my blog. 😀
Just made this smoothy this morning and LOVED it! I never tried tofu in my smoothy (even though I was a vegetarian for 7 years) which is a shame because it is amazing. The oats help fill you up and the combination of banana, cinnamon and syrup is heaven. Thanks for the great healthy breakfast option!

Thanks Michele! This is definitely one of my new favorite smoothies. And you’re right, it is really filling!
Oh I came in looking to enter the giveaway and LOVE the idea for this smoothie. I have been trying to make more smoothies for my kids but the cherry almond one I made yesterday was an epic fail. We all love bananas so this sounds perfect! How much Greek yogurt would you use? Thanks for the chance to win!!

lol, Cherry Almond sounds good! If you use Greek yogurt instead of the silken tofu, just swap it out equally. So 1/2 cup Greek yogurt. Thanks, I hope you and your kiddos enjoy!
I love this and my daughter even more as she needs dairy free – thank you for the submission and please continue to submit! We just purchased YG about a month ago and we have so many plans!
