High Protein Tofu Snack in 3 minutes


High Protein Tofu Snack 
1/4 block firm or extra firm tofu cut in chunks
Drizzle with tamari soy sauce
serve with a drop of wasabi on the side
I use dry wasabi which you mix with a little water
this keeps in the pantry for months.
Once you have it you can add it to mayo, or salad dressings or
asian dishes, or anything you want that hot horseradish kick in.
I have given this simple snack to children, (without the wasabi)
they love it and its good for them.  
Why incorporate it into your diet? Attention Women, check out the health benefits on this link;

Antioxidant Salad with Toasted Walnuts & Pomegranate Dressing

Antioxidant Salad with Toasted Walnuts & Pomegranate Dressing
Boost your brain and body with pomegranate dressing and toasted walnuts
Recipe:
Choose your greens:
Baby Field Greens, Spinach, Arugula, Nappa, Bok Choy, Purple Cabbage, Romaine
Add anything else you like or have around, fresh apple slices or oranges, raisins, cranberries,
chick peas, be sure to try the toasted walnuts they provide the brain power and add richness.
Purchase raw walnuts, toast in oven (carefully keep an eye to not burn). Toasting nuts brings out the flavor, store in the freezer for several months.
Sharp aged cheddar cheese, vegans try soy cheese

Easy Pomegranate Dressing
2 Tbls Pomegranate Molasses
1 to 2 Tbls Honey
1 to 2 tsp Balsamic vinegar
sea salt to taste
2 Tbls extra virgin olive oil
(or grapeseed, sunflower, walnut, hemp)
pick a healthy oil to have around the house
cayenne if you like a little sting

Toss Salad mixture in dressing eat immediately (or it wilts)


I have found pomegranate molasses in farmers markets as well as Indian markets.
It is very inexpensive compared to pomegranate juice,
and can be added to green tea or mineral water,
as well as other recipes. It's great drizzled on fruit.
Once you find it, which is the hard part, try experimenting with it in your recipes,
mix with water or apple juice for you and the kids, a better cool ade.
