This episode of 30 minute meals with over 30 grams of protein is dedicated to all the soy boys out there it’s a Mediterranean style baked tofu feta pasta It’s kind of based off of that Viral Trend a few years ago which I’ve never actually tried but I love the idea
Of everything coming together in one tray and the tofu with the fetal likee marinade works really really well last week I made a video discussing the effects of soy on our hormones it ruffled some feathers and there were also quite a lot of comments from people classing tofu as an ultr processed food
Which is simply not true it’s actually classed as minimally processed the same as ground nuts coffee dried pastas just to name a few as for concerns around genetically modified soy crops most of these crops are actually fed to animals this does differ from Europe to the US
So if you’re unsure always buy organic all in all the benefits definitely outweigh any risk it’s affordable accessible nutrient rich and it behaves like a flavor sponge if you’ve never eaten it before this is a great beginner friendly easy recipe to get you started
So give it a save and follow me for more
