In need of some smoothie suggestions. The oldest little Otter can't have dairy or beef products for a while. He needs protein so he wants to try some smoothies for breakfast. Got any suggestions?

It's amazing what you can do with tofu. No joke.

Oops! I see it has yogurt in it. Maybe there's tofu yogurt? Or soy yogurt, since they make soy milk?

And there inlies the problem. What do you use as the liquid filler / mixer

Try orange juice or pineapple juice.

Jamba Juice has all fruit smoothies - but I see they are not in Chattanooga. Anyway, I'm thinking you could blend fresh fruit and juice with ice to make smoothies. You could also substitute soy milk for any recipe that calls for regular milk.

Ice cream is the filler. Use non-dairy ice cream. Yeah, I know it's probably tofu but you disguise it (well) with fruit. Freeze the fruit chunks first.

We have Smoothie King but that doesn't help at home for breakfast

Yes, and very good I might add.
