Nutrient-Rich & Creamy Tofu Sweet Potato Milk Shake Recipe
Healthy and Delicious Tofu Sweet Potato Milk Shake
Hello! Today, I’m sharing a ‘Tofu Sweet Potato Milk Shake’ recipe that’s perfect as a hearty meal replacement or a healthy snack. Did you know that drinking just two cups of milk daily can help prevent osteoporosis, boost immunity, suppress blood sugar spikes, and prevent constipation? Combining milk with plant-based protein makes it even better! Tofu is rich in soy protein, and sweet potatoes are packed with fiber, promoting good digestion and aiding in weight management. Let’s create a nutritious drink using these three powerhouses. I saw this on TV and decided to try it myself – it’s truly delicious and packed with benefits for everyone!
Main Ingredients
- 1/4 block Tofu (approx. 100g)
- 1/2 cooked Sweet Potato (medium-sized)
- 2 cups Milk (approx. 400ml)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, it’s important to wash the sweet potato thoroughly. Remove any dirt under running water, then soak it in cool water with 2 tablespoons of vinegar for about 10 minutes. This effectively removes residual pesticides or impurities from the skin. After soaking, rinse it clean several times.
Step 2
When boiling the sweet potato, adding a piece of dried kelp can help reduce cooking time. The salt content in kelp raises the boiling point of water, helping the sweet potato cook faster. (This step is optional.)
Step 3
Pour enough water into a pot to just cover the sweet potato, and place the dried kelp at the bottom of the pot. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium-low heat and simmer until the sweet potato is cooked. To check for doneness, pierce it with a chopstick; if it slides in easily, it’s ready.
Step 4
Now, let’s prepare the ingredients for the shake! Get 2 cups of milk (approx. 400ml), 1/4 block of tofu (approx. 100g), and the 1/2 cooked sweet potato. To make blending easier, cut the tofu into large pieces and chop the cooked sweet potato into manageable chunks.
Step 5
When adding ingredients to the blender, it’s best to start with liquids for a smoother blend. So, pour the 2 cups of milk into the blender first.
Step 6
Add the prepared tofu and cooked sweet potato to the blender with the milk. Since sweet potato skins are rich in fiber and nutrients, if you’ve washed them thoroughly, it’s even better to include them! This will provide even more nutrition and flavor.
Step 7
Securely close the blender lid and blend until all ingredients are completely smooth and lump-free. Keep blending until the loud whirring sound subsides and you achieve a creamy consistency.
Step 8
And there you have it – your nutritious ‘Tofu Sweet Potato Milk Shake’ is ready! Pour it into a glass and enjoy it chilled. It’s the perfect choice to start a satisfying and healthy day or to recharge your energy on a lazy afternoon.
