Now you can enjoy your beloved avocado toast and still follow a low-carb diet. This recipe swaps traditional bread with tofu. The secret is using superfirm tofu: Trader Joe's Organic High Protein Super Firm is my absolute favourite. You cut it into thin slices, sauté it in a pan, and it becomes firm and slightly crunchy, just like toast made from bread.
But this slice is much lower in carbs and much, much higher in protein! Each slice of plain tofu is 117 calories, 2.5 grams of carbs, and offers 12.5 grams of protein. For comparison, a regular slice of whole wheat bread is 100 calories, 22 grams of carbs, and four grams of protein. If you enjoy two slices of this recipe, it's 361 calories, 12.5 grams of carbs, and a whopping 25 grams of protein!
