Blanch - beans & carrots & tofu for about 2-4 minutes. ( i boil my tofu because it tastes better & absorbs the sauces better)

Pan roast or air-fry tofu & beans

Mix with rest of the veggies & add salt + pepper & lime juice.

Top with the dressing, microgreens & rest of the peanuts.

Made a protein burger (recipe in the body)

Burger buns from blink it - protein burger buns

Firm Tofu - half a block (you can make with one whole but too heavy for me)

Prep- boil for 5 mins or until it’s soft, tissue dry and roast on a pan in a teaspoon of olive oil.

Coating - once cooked coat in a mixed sauce of- soy sauce+ peanut butter + shezwan chutney ( 2 tsp each)

For the slaw - onion, carrot, cucumber & microgreens. Spices - salt, kashmiri red chilli & lemon juice ( just a squeeze)

Some lettuce

Dressing - i used southwest chipotle no fat.

Just cook the buns in a pan until golden & assemble everything up!

I paired it with chocolate protein shake

The entire meal with the shake was approximately

440 -480 cals with 45 grams of protein
