Vegan Tofu Wraps made with Tofu marinated in Peanut sauce. Quick snack idea, Healthy recipe. This is an easy dinner lunch recipe. Perfect vegetarian recipe
For lunch, a protein rich wrap is exactly what the doctor ordered. This wrap has ample protein in it, so, you will feel satisfied after devouring it.
The protein is in the Tofu, Soba Noodles, Hummus, baby spinach, PB&J Marinade and Wheat Wrap. The sweet red peppers add Vitamin C to the veggie wraps.
Protein helps with muscle building and hair growth, among many other uses for the human body.
Vegan recipes seem to be lacking in proteins, therefore, wraps like this are always a hit with veganites.
If you want to add more nutrition value to it, I suggest adding some flax seed powder to the marinade. This will give the recipe some Omega-3.
I am a huge fan of marinating tofu. In my vegan feta cheese recipe, I marinated tofu in sour ingredients to get that feta taste. I have also marinated tofu in salsa to make this delicious vegan tostada recipe.
Or, marinate it in an easy black bean sauce.
To make the marinade for the Tofu, I used Peanut Butter, flax seed flour and soy sauce with some brown sugar. If you are a fan of honey mustard, add some of it on the top. It may not provide much nutritional value, but it will add a little tang and spice to the veggie wraps.
Overall, this is recipe turned out to be the healthiest meal I have eaten all year. I am feeling really good, so, I think I will go now to get a quick workout.
