Many people have asked about what I would refer to as the "mystery meat" of my shopping list, Bob's Red Mill TVP. I'm telling you from experience; TVP is a miracle worker when it comes to satiety! Just add it to your regular recipes for instant nutrition.
According to Bob's website, TVP is made from reduced-fat soybeans and is used to replace or extend ground meats. It packs a punch with 12 g of protein in just 1/4 cup, about 24% of what you need in a day. Each serving also contains 4 g of fiber, and barely any sodium. I have to laugh at the strange looks people give me when hearing about TVP. It really isn't that weird or frightening! It looks a little bit like cous cous, and takes on a variety of flavors. Don't fear the TVP!
Many grocery chains carry TVP. Just look for it around the bakery or organic food aisles where other Bob's Red Mill products are stocked. It's a great supplement to any recipe, and wonderful for vegetarians, athletes or anyone who strives for a heart-healthy diet.
