Never thought I would achieve this

[sozomai]

I’ve been lifting for about 15 years. Vegan for +12 years. I’ve worked through injuries, other health problems, work travel, and the pandemic. Stayed true to my vegan values. Achieving my goals has been slow, hard work. Bar muscle up, 6-pack, lifting heavier…

But I never saw my latest accomplishment coming. I didn’t think it was possible, but the persistence has made off. I have acquired a taste for raw, unseasoned high-protein tofu! Love it!

@sozomai Damn, I see you are a tough guy, I’m still far from eating raw tofu…

What routine worked best to achieve this milestone? I tried 4x marinated tofu/week, and 2x raw tofu to failure.

@darlene5 Sadness.

@darlene5

I started adding it raw tofu to other foods before eating, like soup, sandwiches, and even veggie burgers. Also added it into smoothies. All that is pretty easy (and a big help to hit protein goals).

With so much tofu around, I’d occasionally take a bite completely on its own - and cringing. But other time, the cringe became a crave!

@sozomai I always wondered how people can eat tofu straight outta the package, lol. Now I see it requires training and discipline.

 

[sozomai]

@junipersomething Exactly

@sozomai Ate some blocks once when I had no time to cook, but smoked tofu is definitely better for that imo

 

[sozomai]

@joeymorgan True!

@sozomai I recommend grating it and putting any sauce of your choice for delicious tofu spread as an entry to eating raw tofu. Easy, versatile and very good.

 

[sozomai]

@octorock Yes! The high protein super firm tofu grates so well. I’ve even grated it onto pizza before putting it into the oven.

@sozomai Peak vegan

 

[sozomai]

@althcellwisdom yes!

 

[showtime2507]

@sozomai I just eat raw, unseasoned Tofu because of the macros and cause I’m too lazy to cook, lmao

 

[sozomai]

@showtime2507 Haha yes! It saves time too

 

[danladie]

@sozomai Begin like that, fave to-go snack, othing beats raw, unseasoned tofutexture over anything

 

[xtinaz]

@sozomai I love raw unseasoned tofu! It’s like soy milk you can chew!

 

[sozomai]

@xtinaz Yes!!

 

[trosey]

@sozomai I spend half my workout now thinking about how excited I am to go home and eat Trader Joe's high protein tofu right out of the package, something about it just hits all the right spots

 

[sozomai]

@trosey Exactly

 

[leepillaro]

@sozomai Hahaha I started liking Raw plain tofu probably 3 years into being vegan. You just gotta have the right type! For me it's the one from the Asian store
