silken tofu


so, i have made a fabulous (re?)discovery. i feel like i have known about flavoured silken tofu forever, and for some reason i thought i didn't like it. silly, silly me. 

i am kind of in love with this tumblr right now - i'm really inspired by her fabulous healthy food ideas, not to mention her amazing (and way-better-than-mine) photography.

so anyway, on this lovely blog, she has featured soft tofu desserts a few times, and when i saw them, my mouth watered. i actually went to the grocery store right away to buy some. holy crapoley, they are so good. i don't know what i've been thinking, missing out on these for so many years. 

the company that makes them, sunrise soya, is canadian, so i'm not sure if you can buy them outside of canana, but if you can, i'd recommend it! they are sold as "dessert", but i have been eating them with fruit and granola for breakfast, or as a quick yogurt-like snack. since i'm 90% vegan these days, they have really filled a void that yogurt left in my life. i have even used them in smoothies, and was very happy with the results!

they come in these easy little 2-packs that snap apart, so you can throw them in your lunch, easy peasy. 


sunrise soya also makes these little snacks called super squeezies, which are similar to those yogurt tubes you can buy, but vegan, tofu based. they come in chocolate and strawberry banana, and they are both really good. thus far my favourite ways to eat them are either frozen, like a freezie: 


 or squeezed out into a bowl like you'd eat pudding or yogurt, with fruit.
