Ingredients:

1/2 cup soft silken tofu
1/2 cup carrot juice -- chilled
1/2 cup grated carrots
1 cup frozen yogurt, vanilla
2 tablespoons frozen orange juice concentrate
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon grated ginger root
1 pinch salt
3 tablespoons pumpkin seeds -- optional


Directions:

Combine the tofu, carrot juice and grated carrots in a blender. Add the frozen yogurt, orange juice concentrate, lemon juice, ginger and salt. Blend until smooth. Add the pumpkin seeds, if you like, and blend to the desired consistency.


I like this smoothie for the fact that you blend so many different things together to get a delicious treat.

I have tried this smoothie with many different flavors of yogurt, but you really have to pick the right one or go with the vanilla that the recipe calls for.
