Now I've done it, I started eating tofu... and I liked it!

This is a quick and easy breakfast scramble, you can use any veggies you want, this is just what I had on hand. The texture of the firm tofu is very very similar to scrambled eggs.

Tofu Scramble
2 servings
138 calories 24 from fat
8.5 grams protein

• 1 clove garlic, chopped
• 1/2 small onion chopped
• 1 stalk celery chopped
• 1 small zucchini, cut in small cubes
• 1 oz yellow pepper, cut in small cubes
• 1 small (about 4 oz) sweet potato, small cubes
• 6 oz firm silken tofu crumbled
• 1 medium whole tomato wedged

In a cast iron skillet sprayed with your favorite non stick spray ( I use olive oil in a Misto spray can, no nasty propellants, just oil and air) saute the garlic onions celery and pepper. add the sweet potato and zucchini, cook until potatoes are tender. add the crumbled tofu and cook until heated through and just starting to brown. garnish with 1/2 tomato cut into wedges.

a note on protein. tofu is an excellent source of protein, so are eggs. one whole egg contains 6.25 grams of protein. so if I'd used 2 eggs and 2 egg whites in this recipe there would have been 10 grams of protein per serving, and the calories would have increased to 178 per serving. So either way you go, it's still a healthy nutritious breakfast, it just depends on if you are eating animal protein or not.

Enjoy!
