This recipe comes from EatingWell.com.  I have made it twice and quite like it.  My kids love it, too.  The first time I made it, I used the silken tofu because I wanted to try it.  Tasted great and I will continue to make it this way.  The second time I made it, I didn't have the tofu on hand and substituted greek yogurt.  It was also delicious.  I added much more ice than the recipe calls for and substituted agave for the sugar.  Enjoy.
