Whether you're a vegetarian or not, everyone can benefit from regularly eating meatless meals. Non-GMO soy products, like tofu and tempeh, are easy and healthy sources of protein that you can use as an alternative when trying to cut back on meat. These two proteins can also be added to a variety recipes beyond stir fries — like smoothies [1] or desserts [2] to increase the protein.
Tofu is probably the most popular soy product, but recipe for tempeh tacos [4]. Regardless of the recipe, tempeh adds a chewy consistency to your dishes along with extra protein and fiber.
Either way, both offer a healthy dose of protein for vegetarians and meat-eaters alike. Try this colorful Mexican quinoa salad featuring tempeh [5]. If you're not quite a fan of the tempeh texture and you prefer tofu instead, try this tofu scramble with kale and sweet potatoes [6].
