If you’re looking for ways to spice up your tofu, this recipe is for you!
Tofu is a the perfect plant protein and offers loads of health benefits. It’s a soy product that includes a complete amino acid profile to give you all the building blocks you need for muscle building and recovery from your workouts.
It’s also a great source of plant-based calcium to support bone health that is the framework for all that muscle!
Health benefits aside, not everyone is a fan of tofu. Truth be told, it’s a bit of a weird texture – my daughter says it’s bouncey!
But don’t turn your head away just yet. Tofu comes in different textures, from soft to extra hard. The soft would be great for adding to a smoothie (the texture would be similar to yogurt in your smoothie), but for a recipe like this extra firm is the way to go!
As for flavour… well, tofu can be a little bland. But the good news it that takes on the flavour of whatever you cook it with or in – that’s why we love this recipe with pesto!
Pesto is so delicious, so we’re sharing our own homemade easy recipe with you below 😋

Extra bonus: Basil is one of my favorite herbs for athletes because it’s packed full of anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties to help with recovery.
psst: wanna know what drives me crazy about searching for recipes online?
- having to scroll through 57 pictures of the same food from different angles before you get to the actual recipe 😡
- constant pop-ups and ads on the page
- no nutritional values provided for the recipe
So I promise you will never find any of those here on our recipes!
And I’ll always give you the nutritional values 😊
