Silken Tofu.... can you help me?

[IntlMom]

Thanks everyone. I bought some silken tofu this weekend, and I want to use it to make smoothies. How much do I use? How do I store it until it is gone? I will be the only one using it, so it's not going to go really fast. You all are a great source of help and encouragement. Thanks so much.

(Since going 100% veg over a month ago, I am loving it..... why do ppl think it's so hard? I don;t get it. It's easy, really easy - course I'm still doing dairy and eggs, but that's another stage )

I'd stay storing it in an airtight plastic container in the fridge and in water - for the portions not used? But you have to change the water daily and tofu only stores about a week or so - if soft. Pressed bricks may store longer in the fridge.

Take tofu out of the container, rinse it off, and wrap in a clean kitchen towel to get the water out for 30 minutes.
Now you are able to use your tofu.
If you put the rest back in the refrigerator change the water every day.

I use 1/3 to 1/4 of a container when I make smoothies depending on the size of the container. So, maybe 1/3 to 1/2 cup.
