Strawberry Tofu Smoothie

A dairy-free and lactose-free alternative to the ubiquitous summer smoothie, silken tofu contributes to the smooth texture while adding an extra boost of protein.  This smoothie also contains a winning combination of vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium, and iron from the berry and soy duo. Frozen strawberries can easily be substituted when not in season.
