When we say that this is the Best Tofu Scramble Recipe, we mean it! You can use it in so many different ways.
Tofu tends to have a meat like texture that many people like and is great to mimic the texture of scrambled eggs. Tofu is also a phenomenal source of protein that is made from curdled soy milk that the water has been removed from. Soy provides a healthy dose of calcium and manganese and many studies have found that the phytoestrogens in soy may help to reduce some cancers such as breast cancer or endometrial cancers and reduce the risk of heart disease.
Let’s get started with this recipe! Heat oil and lightly sauté onion, mushrooms, and spices. Add tofu, pepper, cheese or nutritional yeast, and salt, mix together, and cook over low heat until tofu is thoroughly heated, 5 to 10 minutes. Enjoy with sliced avocado. Serve with toasted whole-grain bread or English muffins.
The best part of this recipe is that you can add almost anything you would like to it. Looking for some more protein? Throw in some beans. Trying to squeeze more veggies in your day? Toss in some peppers and greens. Want to use up those extra herbs? Scatter in some cilantro or parsley. How would you prep this scramble to make it uniquely your own?

I personally like the firm tofu (not silken) for this recipe- but it all depends on your preference

Hi Ladies,
You guys will probably hear from me a lot, I am still on track with my commitment to stick with my goals and trying you guys recipes and others from the suggested links are THE BOMB !!
We went out to one of our favorite restaurants and I usually don’t eat the Tofu when I bring it home due to the texture, to me. This morning I used the Tofu and make this recipe, I loved it.
Looking forward to trying out the meals on your 14-day plan!!
