HEALTH BENEFITS & FUN FACTS
Sneaking tofu into your diet is a good idea for a number of reasons. It’s super inexpensive: Asian markets and some big box stores often carry varieties of tofu starting at $1/package. In addition to being budget-friendly, tofu is high in protein, low in fat, and very low in saturated fat. It can help to lower cholesterol and prevent cancers, especially breast and prostate cancer.
As with all foods, soy is best eaten in moderation and as a whole food–such as tofu–since concentrations of soy contain high levels of estrogen. A perfect daily serving size of tofu is 4 ounces – a generous serving in this vegan dark chocolate mousse!

HEALTH BENEFITS & FUN FACTS OF BANANAS
Bananas are known as the whole-food “energy drink”, so it’s no surprise that bananas sustain blood sugar during a workout and prevent muscle cramps. They also have a lot of tryptophan, which is converted into happy-making serotonin. Bananas can reduce swelling, protect against diabetes, aid weight loss, and strengthen the nervous system thanks to high levels of vitamin B6. They even contain iron, which is super important for those with a plant-based diet.
