Silken tofu is a quiet ingredient. It has almost no flavor and a very smooth texture, so it takes on whatever it is blended with. With cocoa it turns into chocolate custard. This version also uses plant protein for extra protein.

- ½ scoop chocolate plant protein powder (pea/rice blend, about 32 g)

- 1 pinch salt
