Peach Protein Smoothie + Mixed Up Meals Monday

Whew, what a busy day! It always seems like I have a lot to get done at the beginning of the week. I was pretty productive but feel like I can never get everything checked off my to-do list. Such is life I suppose. We do all we can, right?

So ever since cooking with tofu the other day, I’ve had making an tofu “omelette” in the back of my head. I’ve always been intrigued by omelets – not because I actually want to eat eggs (if that were the case, I just would eat em), but because it seems fun to throw a bunch of things into it to whip up a healthy breakfast.

Let’s face it, tofu doesn’t take like anything really. It basically just takes on whatever flavors you pair with it. Instead of trying it out for breakfast, I decided to make my first egg-like tofu dish for lunch by throwing in a few yummy ingredients, and I loved it!

Mexican Tofu Scramble  

Serves 1

• 3 oz firm tofu (Azumaya) chopped into small pieces 
  
• 1 oz avocado, cut into chunks
• 2 TBSP salsa
• 1 serving Mexican shredded cheese (Sargento)
• 1/2 medium heirloom tomato, chopped into chunks

I didn’t have the time or patience to press the tofu, so I skipped it and just threw the tofu into a saucepan over medium heat. It wound up being a good move, because it didn’t turn out too watery at all.

I threw all the ingredients together, adding the cheese in at the end just until melted. This meal was ready in 5 minutes flat, and I ate it with a slice of wheat toast on the side.

After doing about a gazillion burpees and push ups at boxing this evening, I wasn’t in the mood for a real dinner. Sometimes when I have a hard workout I’m just not that hungry afterwards. So instead, I made a smoothie for dinner, which is something I usually will make for lunch. As the title implies, my meals were a little mixed up today! It was my first time trying this particular smoothie out, and though it wasn’t as peachy as I thought it’d be, I approve! I especially like how protein-packed it is.
