This is outrageously delicious and definitely for maintenance or for those who can afford more carbs. There is no ice in this recipe yet it comes out very thick. The secret is using tofu and frozen fruit. I made this for breakfast for my friend and I and we loved it so much that we made them again the next morning. For the 26 net carbs you get a very tall glassful that makes a satisfying breakfast. The recipe actually makes more than you see in the photo above. I didn't have a chance to take a picture of it so I used the photo from a similar recipe.
