Meals based on vegetable protein sources (beans and peas) are more satiating (2016)

Tempeh is a great source of protein and easy enough for many people to make at home. You can add it as a source of protein to a wide range of dishes with surprising results. It's even good when cubed and added to spaghetti marinara as a meatball substitute.

Warning to all; if this is your first time eating something soy based, I’d go for tofu or TVP before tempeh.

Tempeh is fermented so it can be a bit strong, where tofu and TVP are still high in protein but take on other flavours more easily.

That's like, your opinion-- xmaaaayyy. :) Tempeh isn't that bold a move. It depends on how it's made, really. Maybe the stuff you've had is strong. We quality control here by making it from scratch.

Slice it kind of thin, marinate in soy sauce, maple syrup and a dash of smoked paprika for a couple of hours (at least). Bake it for 20 minutes in the oven. Tasty.

Tofu slices soaked in a few spoons of soy sauce and a few drops of liquid smoke, then fried in olive oil until crunchy. Delicious bacon that my non-veggie family all prefer over real bacon.
