This most
certainly wasn't a planned post. I had a great tofu recipe in mind, however in my post wedding (a friend's, not mine) hangover state I bought the
wrong tofu. Put it simply, a scrambled and poor decision making ability
from what was left of the weekend. However, I wasn't going to let that
mean no post for this week. Onwards, I thought.
I'd been
going through my predictable phase of feeling "the guilt" about eating
out, not exercising and general unhealthy habits. With a gusto force of
"just do it" I've been picking myself up with going to the gym more and
eating healthier. One such habit is making sure I eat breakfast. I
normally crash at work around 11, and struggle to stay focused till
lunch. But having a protein focused breakfast is a great way to stay
full (eggs work a treat but I'm pretty lazy to be getting up any minute
earlier than I need to in the mornings).
My
mistake of buying Silken tofu was not in vain... if you've never tried this before, you should - the texture is so creamy
and soft, a perfect substitute for yoghurt on smoothies and has added
health benefits such as being a great source of all eight amino acids.
*google and insert nutritional value should you wish here*.
Bulk
up the tofu based smoothie with some super foods, chia seeds and
minimal honey and it's a great post work out treat or quick and healthy
breakfast.
Ingredients
500 grams silken tofu
200ml of orange juice
Two large handfuls of blueberries
Two teaspoons of chia seeds
1 teaspoon of honey
Add
to a processor and blend till mixed and desired consistency. For an
added kick, add a spoonful of coconut oil just before drinking.
If you're saving it for later, just make sure to give it a good shake before you drink it. Best gulped fresh from the processor.
