Ingredients

Firm tofu100 g
Drained and pressed for a few minutes between kitchen paper. Silken tofu blends smoother but is not in the table; firm works with a longer blend. Weighed after pressing. Silken tofu is about half the calories and protein.
Cocoa powder3 tsp, about 9 g
Banana80 g (a small one)
Peeled weight. A medium banana is about 100 g without the skin.
Unsweetened soya milk150 ml
Maple syrup1 tsp, about 7 g
IceA handful

Method

Crumble the tofu into the blender with the soya milk and blend for a minute until it is completely smooth, scraping down the sides once.
Add the banana, cocoa, maple syrup and ice and blend again for thirty seconds.
Taste. Tofu is bland, so it will taste of banana and cocoa; add a pinch of salt if it seems flat.

Worth knowing

Tofu and soya milk together get to a protein figure most plant shakes only reach with powder. The tofu also makes it thick, closer to a mousse than a drink.
The banana is most of the carbohydrate and the maple syrup is one teaspoon. Both can go without touching the protein.
