This shake is a great option before or after exercise, or simply as a more nutritious pick-me up than a sweetened coffee beverage. Unlike coffee and sugar, this shake contains 15 grams of protein from tofu and soy milk, which helps keep us full for longer. The sweetness comes from the banana, adding fiber, potassium and other nutrients rather than just sugar. The riper the banana, the sweeter the shake will be.
