This simple smoothie is free of added sugars, loaded with nutrients, and naturally sweet! If you prefer a creamier finish, you can freeze the banana.

1 medium kiwi, peeled

Notes
Soy-Free Options: You can substitute ¼ cup canned coconut milk for the tofu. This will maintain the richness, increase the fat, and decrease the protein. For a lighter option, use ¼ cup dairy-free milk alternative in place of the tofu. You can increase the protein with 1 tablespoon dairy-free protein powder or 1 tablespoon nut butter (like cashew butter).
Banana-Free Option: Substitute the flesh of one ripe mango. Use a mango with low to no fibers, like honey/ataulfo mangoes (also called yellow mangoes).
