Tofu is a plant-based protein derived from soybeans, offering numerous health benefits:
A complete protein source that provides all nine essential amino acids, making it ideal for vegans, vegetarians, and flexitarians!
Potentially reduces LDL (commonly known as “bad” cholesterol).
A great source of calcium (when set with calcium) for strong bones.
Contains phytoestrogens like isoflavones, which may assist in balancing hormones.
This recipe turns silken tofu into a luxurious, protein-rich, and dairy-free treat.
