Deli Meat Tofu from 's page

I am always looking for ways to incorporate more tofu, especially in place of some of the processed meats in my diet. I thought this was a great recipe and was super impressed with the consistency! My only issue with the original recipe was that there was not enough flavor... so I increased the bouillon in the recipe below from 2 tbsp to 3 tbsp, but feel free to add any other dried seasonings you'd like too!

• Extra/super firm tofu, 1 block - press as much moisture out as possible
• Water, 1 cup
• Chicken bouillon / Better than Bouillon, 3 tbsp
• Fresh thyme, 3 springs
• Black pepper, 1/2 tsp

1. Thinly slice the entire block of tofu with a vegetable peeler.
2. Add water + bouillon seasoning to a pan on medium heat.
3. Mix until fully dissolved and then add in the thyme, pepper, and tofu strips in an even layer.
4. Bring to a light simmer and cook for 20 minutes, checking every few minutes to ensure there’s still enough liquid in the pan.
5. Remove from the pan and allow to cool. Remove the tofu from the liquid and let cool.

Spinach Artichoke Dip, dinner party edition!

I served it at a dinner last week and everyone loved it! This is definitely one of Hleap Nutrition's most popular recipes! It's absurdly easy to make and is both delicious and filling. All that’s required is a food processor.

• Spinach, 1.5 cups chopped
• Canned artichoke hearts, 1/2 cup (or 1/2 can)
• Fat-free cottage cheese, 1 cup
• Olive oil, 0.2 cup or less (slightly less than 1/4 cup)
• Nutritional yeast, 1/4 cup
• Shredded cheese, 1/4 cup (my favorites are parmesan and mozzarella)
• Garlic powder
• Pinch of truffle salt
• Random and completely optional, but pinch of mushroom powder if you have it (I buy dried mushrooms in bulk and will just run them through the coffee grinder until it’s a powder and add this to any recipe for an extra hint of umami)

Blend everything (except for shredded cheese) in a food processor. Move to a microwave safe dish, add shredded cheese on top, and microwave for about 40 seconds, or until dip is warmed and cheese is melted. Serve with veggies or crackers and enjoy!

Kefir Chia Pudding

This simple recipe is the perfect combo of both pre and probiotics. The chia seeds provide soluble fiber and the kefir (a fermented yogurt beverage) provides a diverse source of bacteria (probiotics) to promote gastrointestinal health.

Probiotics are healthy bacteria that populate the gastrointestinal tract. These bacteria feed on the fermented products of fiber in the gut. Therefore, if you're not eating enough dietary fiber, the probiotics in your gut will be unable to survive.

Kefir, 1/2 cup ( is my favorite brand)
Chia seeds, 2 tbsp
Splash of milk to thin it out

Mix everything together thoroughly and store in the fridge overnight. In the morning, mix everything together and you can enjoy as is or add toppings (berries, nuts, granola, etc).

This recipe is 150 calories, 17 gm CHO, 4 gm Fiber, 8 gm Protein. If you're looking to eat this as a complete meal you can scale up the recipe to meet your macro needs!

Bean based pasta (My favorites are and ) + chicken sausage + frozen mixed veggies + Raos Protein Marinara Sauce

Major life hack = add frozen vegetables to the boiling pasta for the last 3 minutes for minimal effort and clean up

Raos Protein Marinara = Blend 1 28-oz jar marinara sauce + 1 block silken tofu + extra seasonings (since it will be diluted by the tofu) such as oregano, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. After blending, optional to add in chopped basil leaves for added flavor and aroma.

Blending in silken tofu gives the sauce an alfredo-esc. texture without the added dairy. This is perfect for those who don't tolerate dairy and/or are looking to bump up their meal with extra protein and flavonoids.
