Tips and Tricks
- Tofu Types: While extra firm tofu works best, you can use other types too. Adjust the water accordingly, using less for silken or soft tofu.
- Flavor Variations: Get creative and try different protein powder flavors like chocolate or peanut butter. You can even add cocoa powder or peanut butter for a richer taste.
