Tofu is Nutritious & Delicious!

As many of you are aware, Dr. Michael Greger, author of “How Not to Die,” recommends eating 1.5 cups of beans, including soy, per day. But what’s soy good about soy, aka tofu, soymilk, edamame, tempeh, anyway?

Well, to begin with, just like other beans or legumes, soybeans are high in nutrients including fiber, iron, magnesium, potassium, protein, and zinc.

Soy seems to lower breast cancer risk.

And soy also reduces menopausal hot-flash symptoms.

This next one is our favorite soy attribute of all!

Eating soy has also been shown to benefit our kidneys. When we eat animal protein, including fish and other white meats, our kidneys work overtime to break it down. But in the words of Dr. G, “Eating the same amount of protein in the form of tofu doesn’t appear to place any additional strain on the kidneys.” (Woot-woot!)

So, How Does Dairy-Free Feta Cheese Dip Taste?

Right out of the gate, let’s establish that this dip tastes cheesy!

And Dairy-Free Feta Cheese Dip is tangy, too.

Much like ricotta, this dip can also be mild. Depending entirely on how much vinegar and lemon juice you choose to use, make this as mild as you like. Use more of either of these than suggested to amp up the flavor in the tang department.

And finally, this dip is herbed to perfection! If you crave even more earthy flavor, add in a few more fresh herbs.

Healthier, fantastic tasting food is fascinating, and when you learn little tidbits about what you’re eating and why it’s healthier for you, it can feel empowering. For example, since we plant-eaters are often looking for a satisfying alternative to meat, isn’t it awesome to learn that tofu is a viable alternative, and a scientifically affirmed, plant-based option?

When you give this Dairy-Free Feta Cheese Dip a go, we suggest this option to turn it into a full-blown meal. Enjoy this dip with some Baked Walnut & Oat Falafel, and whip up a fresh batch of our Heart Healthy 5-Minute Oil-Free Hummus, too! And, of course, we’d love to hear how it goes when you do!

By leaving a kind word or two here on the blog or anywhere else you see our recipe come up, remember, your words encourage others to give plant-based recipes a go.

And to those who are thinking about trying a plant-based recipe for the first time, they genuinely benefit by hearing about how good plant-based food tastes!

We know this because, just like you, we were once at the very beginning of changing the way we thought about food. It’s such a pleasure to be even a small part of helping someone else find this way of thinking about food!

Happy eating!
