Organic Tofu

Tofu may seem too boring for kids, but tofu can be fun (no, really) and yummy, plus it's packed with protein. Each 1/2 cup of tofu contains about 20 grams of protein. Tofu can be a quick snack or a whole meal. Just keep in mind that about 90% of U.S.-grown soybeans are now GMO, so although tofu is a great source of protein, you really must buy organic. Make some delicious vanilla tofu ice pops as shown above - recipe found in the book Ice Pop Joy. Use tofu in stir fry or burritos in place of meat; tofu will take on the flavor of the spices you use. Or try this easy tofu recipe for kids - my son loved this as a toddler:

Organic broccoli and tofu with peanut sauce:

Gather a cube of organic firm tofu, some fresh organic broccoli (you can use frozen), a spoonful of organic peanut butter and a little bit of organic milk or apple juice. Steam the broccoli until it's very soft. Cut firm organic tofu into tiny bite-sized pieces and heat it until it's a little warm (about 15 seconds in the microwave). Mix organic peanut butter in a small sauce pan with some apple juice or milk, until it becomes sauce-like. Toss the broccoli into a bowl with the tofu squares. Then drizzle the peanut sauce over it.
