  <short_description>A healthy start to the morning</short_description>
  <long_description>This tofu smoothie makes for a healthy start to the morning.</long_description>
  <introduction>
    <![CDATA[<p>Yes, this smoothie has tofu in it, but don&#8217;t let that be a turnoff&#8212;it&#8217;s only there for texture and the health factor. A blend of fruit, yogurt, and a touch of honey, this drink makes for a tasty breakfast or snack.</p>


	<p><strong>What to buy:</strong> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0007KQY9E?ie=UTF8&#38;tag=c037-20&#38;linkCode=as2&#38;camp=1789&#38;creative=9325&#38;creativeASIN=B0007KQY9E">Silken tofu</a> has a custardlike texture, and is ideal for puréed dishes like sauces and smoothies. It can be found in vacuum-packed, shelf-stable containers in the Asian section of your grocery store.</p>


	<p><strong>Game plan:</strong> If you&#8217;ve <a href="/stories/11043">made your own regular soft tofu</a> you can use it here, though we prefer this recipe with silken tofu.</p>]]>
