Crispy Tofu Slices for Sandwiches, Salads, or Snacks, Mayo Clinic Statement on Soy, My Favorite Plant Protein Powder

Don’t think eating meatless Monday meals means the end of enjoying delicious meaty snacks, sandwiches, or salads! 

Quite the opposite! There are tons of amazing meat alternatives on the market you can whip up on the fly, but this quick and versatile crispy tofu will satisfy even the non-tofu enthusiasts😄. 

It’s smoky, slightly sweet, and makes the perfect snack that will remind you of eating your favorite jerky ~ but it’s meatless. 

It can also be layered in a sandwich 🥪 or thrown on a salad 🥗 which is incredibly delicious and satisfying.

Plus according to Mayo Clinic ~ “It was once thought that soy foods increase the risk of breast cancer. However, eating a moderate amount of soy foods does not increase risk of breast cancer — or other types of cancer. A moderate amount is one to two servings a day of whole-soy foods, such as tofu, soy milk and edamame”

When you slice tofu and thin as possible, coat it with a savory & slightly sweet marinade, and bake it till it’s crispy, it makes a delicious alternative to sandwich meat. I used a sprouted bagel, avocado, veggies and my crispy tofu.

But there’s even an easier way to enjoy soy daily! I love my morning smoothie made with my favorite plant based protein. It has 20 grams of plant protein, it is LOW glycemic, satisfying, delicious, and loaded with leucine, an important amino acid which helps you keep the muscle you want, but loose the fat you don’t want.

You can grab a canister here and if you want a FREE Frother, add one of our mixables.

So now you have no excuses to get in more soy to improve your health 💚.

Be sure to add a block of tofu to your grocery list so you can make this delicious recipe. It’s great any day of the week but perfect for meatless Monday 🥘!

And try my favorite protein shake I use daily!
