Y’all, I just wanted to share some insight from a vegan of 10 years.
Silken tofu is seriously under used and under rated. It’s low fat and high protein compared to vegan Mayo or other oil based products!
I have posted here before about the silken tofu “yogurt” for higher protein option, but would love to share my personal list of things I have made with silken tofu. I don’t have recipes I’m sorry I just whip things up in the kitchen but you can always look up similar recipes for help! I’m always looking for new food ideas so I wanted to share in case there are some newbies or others who haven’t made these yet.
or just make it into Mayo!
Enjoy! I hope this sparks some ideas and inspiration for someone!
Ps: I post it in this sub since most vegans on here like to look for healthier/higher protein alternatives to certain foods and you guys liked my tofu egg salad recipe before![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)

- Ranch (literally just blended it up with some nooch and tons of ranch flavor seasonings and some acid like vinegar/lemon) this is by far my favorite and most recent use of silken tofu
- Mac n cheese sauce (kind of just blend with tons of seasonings/nooch and then I heat in a pot and add my vegan cheese of choice)
- throw it in smoothies for extra protein and creaminess
- instead of milk in my banana ice cream I’ll do some silken tofu it’s so much creamier
Enjoy! I hope this sparks some ideas and inspiration for someone!
