Episode notes
Stock High-Protein Pastas And Puffs
- Keep high-protein pastas (red lentil, black bean, edamame) and edamame puffs for quick protein-forward meals and snacks.
- Use edamame puffs as a Rice Krispie-type base or in bars for five-minute high-protein snacks.
Use Nutritional Yeast And Silken Tofu
- Keep nutritional yeast and shelf-stable silken tofu (Mori-Nu) to add protein and creaminess to sauces, dressings, and desserts.
- Blend silken tofu into smoothies, cheesecakes, and high-protein condiments for easy protein boosts.
Keep Complete Protein Powders Handy
- Keep a complete-protein powder (or blends) and defatted peanut powders for baking, smoothies, and shakes to quickly hit targets.
- Prefer complete blends if using powders as major protein sources and watch contamination reports for peace of mind.
