How Tofu Is Made:

Tofu is derived by condensing curds of soy milk and pressing them into blocks. These blocks can come in a number of different consistencies, from very soft, to super firm! The wide range of texture choices is actually one of the things that makes tofu so incredibly versatile! Depending on the selected level of firmness, it can be used to substitute a number of different meats While this is, of course, your choice, we recommend the extra firm option for this tofu steak meal prep.

Tofu has great health benefits:

Did we mention how ridiculously healthy tofu is? It contains all 9 essential amino acids—Histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine! Aminos are crucial because they aid in tissue repair and a number of other bodily functions. Tofu and soy, in general, is also a great source of iron, calcium, manganese, selenium and phosphorous! We highly recommend cooking and seasoning the tofu on a grill, or in a grill pan. This makes for a delicious sear on the outside, just like traditional steak!

How many servings does this recipe make, you ask?

Between the tofu steak, green beans, and quinoa on the side, this meal prep recipe makes 4 very generous servings! Besides the amount of food you get, we also love the fact that this meal prep recipe has lots of fiber and protein to keep you full. Quinoa actually plays a big part in the fiber and protein content of this vegan apricot cucumber tofu steak meal prep—It is extremely nutritious! Per 1 cup of quinoa, there is on average 8g of protein, and a whopping 5g of fiber. And that’s not even counting high levels of minerals like magnesium, manganese, and phosphorus. Like tofu, this grain also contains all 9 essential amino acids, making it one of the only plant foods to do so.
