Benefits of the Main Ingredients

Silken Tofu

Silken tofu is an excellent source of plant-based protein and provides all nine essential amino acids. It is naturally rich in calcium (when calcium-set), iron, magnesium, and phosphorus while creating an incredibly smooth and creamy texture. Silken tofu is an easy way to increase the protein content of smoothies without altering their flavour.

Mixed Berries

Mixed berries are packed with vitamin C, dietary fibre, and antioxidants, including anthocyanins, which give berries their rich red, blue, and purple colours. They add natural sweetness and vibrant flavour while contributing a wide variety of beneficial plant compounds.

Banana

Bananas provide natural sweetness, potassium, vitamin B6, vitamin C, and complex carbohydrates that help provide lasting energy. They also create a naturally creamy consistency, making smoothies thick and satisfying.

Unsweetened Almond Milk

Unsweetened almond milk keeps the smoothie light and dairy-free while adding a creamy texture. Many fortified varieties also provide calcium and vitamin D, making them a nutritious plant-based alternative to dairy milk.

Maple Syrup

Pure maple syrup provides a touch of natural sweetness along with small amounts of minerals such as manganese and zinc. It enhances the fruit flavours while allowing the berries and banana to remain the stars of the smoothie.
