Tofu Veggie Bowl

Super firm tofu is becoming a main staple in my vegan recipes. After using it a few times I can truly say that I really like the results and will be using it in many other upcoming vegan recipes in the near future. Not only is it high in protein, it is inexpensive and easy to use. I have made different types of vegan bowl recipes, but this one is my favorite thus far. I think the organic red cabbage made it extra tasty!

First of all, red cabbage has pretty impressive health benefits. Dr. Axe calls it "disease-fighting and gut healing."  Red cabbage boosts the immune system, fights inflammation and arthritis, aids healthy bones and reduces the risk of osteoporosis, combats chronic disease, and strengthens gut health. It's loaded with vitamin C and iron, and can be used in many dishes. 

Protein-packed, colorful, flavorful, and only nine ingredients!
