The Best Smoothie

Roger doesn't have enough appetite to eat 3 full meals a day.  So we make a big breakfast and supper every day and have this high protein smoothie for lunch.  This one's mango, but you can make any flavor you like:  strawberry, blueberry, blackberry, banana, chocolate. . .use your imagination.

1/2 cup silken tofu
1/2 cup greek yogurt
1 fresh banana
1 single serving packet Perpetuem* **
3/4 - 1 cup Frozen mango or berries
1/2 cup rice milk
1/2 cup soy milk

Blend.  Enjoy.
Turn up the thermostat and pretend you're on a tropical beach.

This recipe makes two servings.  The calorie count will vary as you adjust it for the flavor and consistency that you like.  Made as above, it contains 450 calories per serving.

*Hammer Perpetuem is a high protein drink used by marathon runners, 300 calories of slow release nutrition.  It is an orange/vanilla flavor.  Hammer also makes a Sustained Energy supplement that's unflavored.  That's the one we use with frozen berries.  They can be purchased in running supply stores.  If you can't find Hammer Nutrition products, you can substitute any powdered protein supplement that you like.

**Thanks for the tip, Casey!

P.S.  I found out Roger is not supposed to have uncooked tofu, so nix that ingredient for cancer patients.  And, more protein is better.  I've gotten Hammer Whey Protein and Hammer  Soy Protein and I add one scoop to the shake.   I alternate one day whey, the next day soy.  I really think this shake is what finally stopped Roger's weight loss.
