Orange Breakfast Dream

Dancer^'s Note:

Whip up this frothy cooler in minutes, it tastes like an old-fashioned Creamsicle. For best results, start with ice-cold soy milk and use freshly squeezed orange juice. Creamy, custard-like silken tofu adds extra body. For additional calcium, use calcium-fortified orange juice. Points 2.

This was very good, and the BF and I had it for a quick/late breakfast shake. We omitted the ice cubes, because we both cannot stand them, and it made for a very creamy mix. It reminds me of a drink that I get at the Nordstrom E-bar, but i'm sure was much better for me with the added silken tofu. Thanks for a great breakfast treat, Dancer!

This is definately one of the better cooler/smoothie recipes using tofu. I first made this last month, and I had to find the exact same one again! It's so good! It also works well with a tiny bit of chocolate blended together with the whole thing. Thanks for sharing! :)
