I know what you're thinking. TOFU?! A lot of non-vegans associate this food with a bland, boring, rubbery substance that they would rather steer clear of. But tofu is an incredibly nutritious and flavourful addition to any meal, when prepared properly!

Tofu is extremely versatile, you can find uses for it in everything from appetizers, to desserts. The options are truly endless with this unique food product.

But what exactly IS tofu? Tofu is a food made of condensed soy milk that is pressed into solid white blocks. It originated in China, and the process is quite similar to how cheese is made.

One 100g serving of tofu has:

Protein: 8g
Carbs: 2g
Fiber: 1g
Fat: 4g

And with only 70 total calories, tofu is one heck of a nutrient-dense food!!
It’s like the dream food: low in calories, high in protein and healthy fat. It also has all sorts of important vitamins and minerals.

Give tofu a chance, cut it into cubes and put some in your next stirfry, add baked tofu to a salad, wrap or entree. Google unique and new tofu recipes, the internet (like tofu) is a vegan's best friend.
