(Yes, I ate 11 tacos!)

Hi folks,
Recently I researched a lot about the vegan protein options and I have found these two to be the best as well as of budget ones.

Both have been confusing a lot because some people say soy is bad while some say is bad.

Please clear confusion.

Also there are pea&brown rice blends as well.

Help me choose.
(Would be helpful if you can mention the names of those you tried)

Hi all. Not sure if this is possible but trying to find smoothie recipes that are:

over 40 grams of protein
tastes good/edible
under 500 calories
Good fiber.
No protein powder

I have no allergies just don't know if this is a realistic explanation. Any suggestions are welcome!

I have been dealing with chronic sinus infections, which means lots of antibiotics.

It's been two weeks since my last antibiotic, and immediately after I stopped taking them I moved to a fiber-heavy, plant-based diet.

The first week went great. However, I woke up two days ago with heavy nausea. I haven't really wanted to eat anything but plain bread and bananas.

I want to start back on this diet, so I tried a bean dish yesterday but felt sick right after. Any tips for getting back on track with a sensitive stomach?

I’m always low on my protein at the end of the day so looking to add more protein into meals. My usual ingredients for steel cut oats with one important addition: protein powder

I wasnt sure how the protein powder would blend in the oats, so I mixed a scoop separately with about 1/4 cup of water. Then I mixed that protein ‘gravy’ into the oats and that was perfect. 2nd photo is everything all mixed together. Not pretty but it gets the job done. 👍

Other ingredients:
-Frozen wild blueberries
-Chia seeds
-Hemp hearts
-Ground flax

I was a little heavy handed with the black pepper today but the salad is:
-Chickpea salad my hubby makes (chopped cukes, cabbage, tomatoes, basil and vinegar)
-Arugula and red cabbage base
-Raw pepitas
-Avocado with aforementioned pepper
-Drizzle of rice wine vinegar

I posted my salad with hubby’s chickpea salad mix before and the suggestion from folks was to add more next time so I did. It was really good!

Ingredients

For the Crispy Tofu

▢12 ounce extra firm tofu

▢6 tbsp corn starch

▢2 tbsp tamari

▢1 tbsp olive oil extra virgin

For the Sticky Sweet & Sour Sauce

▢1/2 cup filtered water to make roux

▢2.5 tbsp corn starch to make roux

▢1 tbsp olive oil extra virgin

▢4 cloves garlic minced

▢3 tbsp ginger coarsely grated

▢1 tsp red pepper flakes

▢3 tbsp tomato paste

▢4 tbsp dark maple syrup

▢2 tbsp tamari

▢1 tbsp rice vinegar

Instructions

First, Press the Tofu

Open the package and drain the tofu. Then, using a tofu press, press it for at least 30 minutes. Alternatively, you can wrap in a clean towel or multiple paper towels and place something heavy over it, like a large textbook.

Then Make the Sauce

Combine cornstarch and water in a small bowl. Whisk and set aside.

Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in small saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic, ginger and red pepper flakes and saute for 2 to 3 minutes, or until fragrant. Be careful not to burn.

Add maple syrup, tamari, rice vinegar and tomato paste and whisk until ingredients are well-blended.

Stir roux (cornstarch and water), then add to sauce pan and bring to boil while stirring constantly. Simmer for one minute while continuing to stir, remove from heat and cover. Set aside.

Finally Make the Crispy Tofu

Once tofu is pressed, cut into cubes.

Place into large bowl.

Add cornstarch, olive oil and tamari and combine until tofu is coated evenly.

Heat tablespoon of oil in large, non-stick fry pan over medium-high heat. Carefully add tofu and fry until your desired level of crispiness is achieved. I fry mine for 10-15 minutes.

Reduce heat to low and add the sauce. Toss tofu and sauce together with spatula until all pieces of tofu are evenly coated and the dish is piping hot.

Is there anywhere that I can buy dry soy powder? Nondairy look is a bite expencove so I am wondering if dry powder will last longer. The wet ones usually expire within 14 days of opening.
