Breakfast: Tofu Scramble With Kale and Sweet Potatoes
Note: Eat one serving of this tofu scramble with a 1 cup of frozen mango thawed and sprinkled with cinnamon. To thaw the mango, defrost for 90 seconds in a microwave.
Freeze the remaining portion of the tofu scramble for a quick and healthy breakfast after you have completed this two-week plan. Freezing the tofu will give it a more “meaty” texture that you might enjoy more.
