TOFU-LY DELICIOUS: A PLANT-POWERED PROTEIN

Tofu is a versatile source of plant-based protein that absorbs the flavors of sauces, herbs, and spices. Its soft texture can also make it easier to chew and enjoy when appetite or energy is low.

WHY WE LOVE TOFU
Protein is especially important for people navigating pancreatic cancer because it helps maintain muscle, strength, and the body’s ability to heal and recover. Tofu provides protein in a mild, adaptable ingredient that can be baked, roasted, blended, or added to soups and bowls.

In Chef Gia’s Roasted Ginger Tofu Bowl, extra-firm tofu combines with colorful vegetables, rice, and a ginger-sesame sauce to create a balanced meal with 18 grams of protein per serving.
