Strawberry delight is such a simple recipe – yet it is nutritious too, providing you with a good source of protein which slows down the absorption of sugar. It’s a good alternative to yoghurt. Although I’ve used strawberries, you can use any fresh berries such as raspberries, blueberries or blackberries.
INGREDIENTS FOR STRAWBERRY DELIGHT
Makes one serving
- 100 g of strawberries (or any other soft fruit) plus one for topping
- ¼ packet 75 g of Silken Tofu (I use ClearSpring Organic)
- ½ a ripe banana (fresh or frozen)
- Optional – half a teaspoon of maple syrup or a micro spoon of stevia
- A sprinkling of either desiccated coconut or seeds of your choice
Method
Put 1 strawberry to one side. Put the remainder of the strawberries, the tofu and the banana into a blender. Blitz until smooth. Taste. If it’s not quite sweet enough, add a drizzle of maple syrup or stevia and blitz for a few seconds more. Pour into a bowl.
Decorate with sliced strawberries and your choice of sprinkling, and it’s ready to eat.
I sometimes pop this Strawberry Delight into a freezer for 20 minutes. During this time, tiny ice-crystals begin to occur without freezing it entirely. This makes it ice-cream like, which I like, but maybe it’s just my taste!
