| 5 MINUTE TOFU SCRAMBLE |
Quick and easy tofu scramble! This recipe is perfect for quick meals paired with some carbs or meal prep 3-6 servings for an easy weekday protein.
What makes this tofu so quick, easy, oil free, and higher in protein?
Absolutely oil free. You can simply use soy milk to keep everything from sticking. Any pan will work! Just keep the heat at a medium to low temperature and make sure to stir every so often.
Higher in protein with three sources of protein; firm tofu, nutritional yeast, and soy milk.
The firmer the tofu the higher the protein per serving. So choose medium to firm tofu for most recipes. Save silken tofu for puddings or sauces.
Nutritional yeast is a great source of vegan protein! Every 1 tbsp is 30 calories and 3g of protein. Using 1/3 cup in this recipe increases the protein by 15g! Use it in sauces, on popcorn, or as a seasoning when roasting vegetables.
Soy milk has 8g protein per cup in comparison to almond milk which generally has around 1-2g protein per cup. Pretty significant if you ask me!
