NUTRITION FACTS
✦ Per serving: 33g of protein & 13g of fiber.
✦ Tofu contains all essential amino acids, making it an excellent source of plant-based protein for vegetarians and vegans.
✦ Tofu and edamame contain isoflavones, which are plant compounds that may have antioxidant properties and support hormone balance.
✦ This lunch is high in dietary fiber, which promotes feeling of fullness and supports healthy digestion by promoting regular bowel movements and preventing constipation. The fiber also helps maintain a healthy gut microbiome.
✦ Walnuts are rich in alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), a plant-based omega-3 fatty acid that supports heart health by reducing inflammation and improving cholesterol levels and brain health.
