Cinnamon Matcha Tofu Power Smoothie
This cinnamon matcha tofu power smoothie is designed for GLP-1 users with low appetite, packing high-quality plant protein and calories into a small, easy-to-sip portion. Its mild flavor, smooth texture, and gentle ingredients help you meet protein and energy needs without feeling heavy or overwhelmed by strong smells.
Ingredients
- 200 g silken tofu — drained
- 40 g unflavoured or mild vanilla plant-based protein powder — ready to use
- 80 g cooked cooled brown rice — soft cooked
- 250 ml unsweetened almond milk — chilled
- 80 g frozen banana — sliced
- 24 g peanut butter — smooth
- 2 g matcha powder — sifted
- 1 g ground cinnamon — ready to use
Instructions
- Add the almond milk to a blender jug first to help everything blend smoothly.
- Add the silken tofu, cooked cooled brown rice, frozen banana, peanut butter, protein powder, matcha powder, and ground cinnamon.
- Blend on low, then gradually increase to high for 45–60 seconds until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides if needed.
- Taste and adjust thickness with a little extra almond milk if too thick, or a few ice cubes if you prefer it colder and slightly thicker.
- Pour into small glasses or jars; sip slowly, pausing if you feel full, and store any remaining smoothie in the fridge.
Tips for GLP-1 users
If your appetite is very low, start with half a serving and sip over 20–30 minutes—this smoothie is dense in protein and calories, so even a small amount supports muscle and energy without overfilling your stomach.
Using fully cooled, very soft brown rice keeps the texture gentle while adding extra calories and complex carbs for sustained energy, which can help with GLP-1–related fatigue.
