Better than I thought Besides being skeptical about how this would taste with silken tofu or the fact that the color of this didn't look quite appetizing I must say was far better than I imagined. I used what I had on hand no frozen berries so I just used blueberries; No plain orange juice so used orange mano and peach juice; and added more ice. Tasted great and the longer it set the creamy and frothier it was. Actually enjoyed this. Thanks Read More

They sound great but I prefer to have low fat soymilk and alternate different kinds of fruit. And in the evening I'll blend some grape melons ginger and maybe add some pears and pineapples with a little very berry or orange flavored mineral water. It's a great after dinner treat. Read More
