I drink lots of breakfast “shakes.” This one is REALLY good, and – like other protein-rich foods – it can hold me over for hours.
It has all the amazing flavors of peanuts, cinnamon (an excellent spice for helping maintain stable blood sugar), and banana, as well as satisfying tofu protein. If you want, you could even add some cocoa powder.
(Pictures to come!)
Ingredients
8 oz. light silken tofu (I used Nasoya)
1 medium banana (about 4 oz.)
4 TBSP (24g) PB2 OR 1-2 TBSP peanut butter (I used PB2)
1/2 cup milk of choice (I used unsweetened Almond Breeze)
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
OPTIONAL: 1-2 packets of stevia or sweetener of choice
OPTIONAL: 1-2 TBSP unsweetened cocoa powder
OPTIONAL: pinch of xanthan gum (for a thicker shake)
Combine all ingredients in a blender or Magic Bullet and blend until smooth. Enjoy!
I like this peanut butter banana tofu protein shake a lot.
I am looking for a good recipe of this protein shake.
Thanks you shared this protein shake recipe here.
Now I will try this recipe myself at my kitchen.

Did you use cassia cinnamon or true Ceylon cinnamon? I’ve written a post about the differences that you might be interested in reading.

Hi Marcella,
I used cassia cinnamon – I’m not really super fond of the taste of Ceylon cinnamon, although I love the smell of Ceylon! I should probably get used to the taste though, as I know that it is a little more superior to cassia in terms of blood-sugar regulation.
Really?! That’s interesting to know. I didn’t know there was such a difference in the taste between the two. Thank you for the information. Considering the greater expense, I’m not sure I will be buying it now!
LOL it may just be my picky tastebuds . . . but I think that Ceylon is just spicier (I love spicy foods, but not spicy cinnamon – figure that one out!
), and cassia is just a little more mild. But if YOU like Ceylon, by all means, continue buying it – a little spice goes SUCH a long way! I don’t want to sway your preference. 
Oh no, no I haven’t tried Ceylon yet that is why I’ve been asking people. So far I learned that it is more expensive than cassia. I do like the Saigon Cinnamon though. It’s interesting how it is naturally sweet by itself. Most people I’ve asked use the cassia. Only one person said she liked the Ceylon better. So, the score is 1 to 1 ; – )
