TOFU. 🫣
I know… half of you just kept scrolling.

But hear me out: tofu is not the flavor of the me. Tofu is just… *the canvas*.

You wouldn’t blame plain pasta for being boring, right? Or a naked chicken breast? (Actually… maybe you would 😂)

Tofu is:
✔️ Budget friendly (often under $3)
✔️ Protein packed (also calcium, iron and antioxidants)!
✔️ Quick to cook
✔️ Keeps forever in the fridge if sealed.
✔️ Completely customizable

Sweet? Savory? Crispy? Saucy? Spicy? Air fried? Stir fried? Crumbled into tacos? Blended into a creamy sauce? You get to choose your own adventure.

Think of tofu as the friend with no strong opinions — it just shows up and matches the vibe.

Not a tofu lover? You don’t have to be. But if your only experience was one sad, flavorless cube from 2009… I’m asking you to give tofu a chance again.

Tip: buy it extra extra firm and make sure to get all the water out (I wrap it towels and put something heavy on top).

Have you ever thought “I can’t ever trust myself around xyz food?”

Try eating it everyday for a period of time, a big key is knowing you will be eating it again the next day and so on. Of course, I wouldn’t start with a food that is highest on the challenge list, but maybe one that is a 6/7 out of 10 in terms of units of distress. A light challenge but no flooding!

At first, yes it will be thrilling, exciting, maybe hard to eat calmly. By day 5,6.7- that thrill may lessen, the pleasure could still exist but with a neutrality or even disinterest you wouldn’t expect to ever experience.

Normalizing foods allows you to see all foods for what they are: food!

Sure some foods have more of a sensory or physical appeal (chips/ice cream vs carrots) but that emotional power can be managed via consistent/mindful exposure, adequate surrounding nutrition and working on your inner relationship with these foods.
