Use firm or extra-firm tofu instead of meat for baking, grilling, sautéing and frying. For an even firmer texture, use a TofuXpress to squeeze out the moisture and allow the tofu to absorb marinade. Textured vegetable protein (TVP), also known as textured soy protein, when re-hydrated resembles cooked ground meat in texture. Pre-cooked soy crumbles are perfect for chili, spaghetti sauce, and tacos, and contain 75% less fat than ground beef. Edamame, or young soybeans, are fun to eat out of the shell steamed and they can also be used instead of other beans in your favorite recipes. Edamame not only has more protein than other beans, it also provides complete protein. For sustained energy on-the-go, foods with soy protein such as protein bars, cereal, and shakes keep you feeling full longer. Simply Soyfoods 29
