I just tried tempeh for the first time and it was amazinggg.
Cut it in thin slices and steamed first!(supposedly gets rid of some bitterness and opens pores up to better marinate) Then marinated in a mixture of: soy sauce, honey, Asian chili garlic sauce (or sriracha), onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, and a smidge of bbq sauce. Pan fried till crisp edges. It tastes like Hawaiian bbq!🤤 had it with some Mac salad and shredded Cabbage. Idk if I want to try making it any other way
Yess protein!! Have you tried hulled hemp seeds? Ive been using them in my smoothies and as topping! Surprisingly 9 grams of protein in 4 tbsps!!
I use the organic hemp hearts from Costco and 4 tbsp gives you 20 grams of protein. I add it to my smoothies, oatmeal, yogurt, etc.
@@wrappednhope3974 Oh nice! I’m going to have to look for that! I love Costco too lol!
Which brand of hemp seeds do you usually use for smoothies? :)
Oooo I need to find this one!!
Can't believe I forgot to mention hemp seeds lol!! Im glad you reminded me
The Lord has answered my prayer for real!! I was looking for this type of video on your page! God bless 🫶🏽
Aww yayyy! Im so glad he put it on my heart to share this
great plant based protein receipes😊
Temphe Rubin sandwich: fry thinly sliced temphe. When it's done, sprinkle some tamari on it. Make a sandwich on rye bread with the fried temphe, sourcrout , Swiss cheese, Russian dressing. Grill the sandwich.
Great video, Shakayla! Tempeh is very bitter if it's not prepared properly. The key is to steam it to release all the bitterness before proceeding to use it in your recipes. You can do this on the stove, but I steam it for 15min in the instant pot. It's a total gamechanger! I'm so happy to see you prioritizing eating a high protein diet! Even people who are not plant based lack getting enough protein in their diets. Protein increases satiety hormones, and that's what we want- to feel full and satisfied!👍🏽🥰
I am definitely trying that!!
Clicking thumbs up before I even watch the video because Shakayla always makes awesome content. Thanks girl 😊
I 100% agree!
🥹 I really appreciate you! Thank you so much
❤️ thank youuuuuu
Also, eating greens and salads also provide protein. Yay! And….please make a cookbook. 😊
As always, great job! Would love to see more recipes that are high protein meals in a day. Thank for sharing your knowledge!👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you!!! I will definitely keep that in mind and make videos like this
If you boil or steam your tempeh whole for about 10 minutes, it cuts down on that strong taste that maybe you don’t enjoy. I really disliked tempeh when i first tried it, but steaming first definitely helps! Check out some of Rainbow Plant Life’s tempeh recipes (the tacos!!!).
Thank you for the tip!!!!
I would like to see like burritos or wraps something that could be made for one person since I’m the only person in my family that eats this way. Thank you
I just received the pea protein in the mail from Amazon. I cannot wait to try your sausage recipe. This video was very helpful. I need to add more protein in my diet. Love your content. I made my shopping list, and I am ready to go!!!
Yayyy!! I hope you enjoy the pea protein!!
@@Shakaylafelicethank you for introducing the pea protein and the fava bean tofu. I don’t eat soy, but the pea protein is a game changer.
I love this video. I am not currently plant based but I’ve been thinking of going back and since I am high protein as of late, I had to watch. I got distracted so I watched it back 5 times but I definitely saw a couple thing I want to try! 🙏🏾
Shakayla! Love this topic. You are spot on about research on the health benefits of soy(something I often share eith my patients) I get nervous around tempeh too. I like to cut it into strips and marinate in a soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, garlic powder, maple syrup and pan sear. It great on sandwiches(inspired from mellow mushroom).
Oh fun fact! Edamame is a young soybean .
Thanks for the video!
Im so glad you liked this video!! Im going to try steaming and then marinating it to see how it turns out! Thanks for the tip
I am really being blessed by your Veganuary series of videos! I know it’s a lot of work so I want to say thank you! God put it on your heart to post the protein vid for me! 👍🏽
I really appreciate that! Thank you for being here and following along!!
So glad the CZcams algorithm suggested this channel!! Wish it would have been sooner but I'm so glad to have finally made it here 🤗
Very informative video friend! I am mindful about the amount of protein I consume as well. Another thing I am working on is taking more vitamins to increase my red blood cells. Just informed I have anemia. I am learning as I go along, but so far so good.
Im glad you found this helpful, boo! Proud of you for taking control of your health and doing what you need to do. Its not easy hearing things that like but Im glad you're making the changes needed to help with the anemia
Tempeh: i steam it/boil it for 10 mins so it softens a little and it takes away bitterness (I just leave enough water to fill the bottom of the pan so if sliced the slices would be half above water not a full quart boil). Then crumble or slice and sauté 1tbsp of each:
Coconut aminos/ponzu sauce
Kimchi hot sauce
Lemon juice
Maple syrup
Thank you!!
Thanks everyone for sharing to steam tempeh. I tried a recipe from Sweet Potato Soul with a maple mustard one in a buddha bowl that I enjoyed. As you said, this was a good video because that’s one thing I always hear about with plant based diets not getting enough protein.
Rightttt, Im definitely going to try steaming it next time
Just found your channel and obsessed!!! I’ve been plant based for almost 8 years now but I am always looking for new high protein meals to try!
I still need to give tempeh a go hahaha 😅 I feel the same way
my favorite way to eat tempeh is to combine it in a pan with the "pulled jackfruit in smoky bbq" from trader joe's and some kale! it's so easy and you can't taste any bitterness from the tempeh. highly recommend eating it in a sandwich for a high protein lunch
Ahh that sounds delicious!! I do enjoy the tempeh bacon on sandwiches but will have to try it with jackfruit next time
I love this video. Thanks for sharing. I’m always trying to get more protein in my diet. You’re the one that put me on to tempeh bacon and Daring chicken. They have a teriyaki flavored one that I use when I make fried rice. 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Now I want to make some fried rice lol. Might have to add that to my meal prep menu for next week
i highly recommend the dymatize brand vegan protein powder, it tastes AMAZING. for protein i also rec hemp seeds, pea-based sauces/soups, adding pb to smoothies, fava bean tofu, and tahini (i just learned that you can make tahini shakes with some almond/soy milk). i’m always looking for ways to up my protein intake, so thank you for this vid!
Thank youuuuuu for these! I've seen that brand of protein powder before but wasn't sure how it was. Im going to give it a try
I have been looking for good protein recommendations and this is perfect
Enjoyed the information
I see those plant bites @ my local grocer but was skeptical b/c I wasn't sure abt texture and taste after rehydration, I agree Temphe is touch & go😏...
Thank you for this video. I'm new to this journey. I'm also concerned about getting enough iron. Would love a video on plant based iron sources.
Oh and idk if I’ve ever said Thank you to you, but Thanks so much for your CZcams channel because it’s really helping me slowly swap out my meat I’m almost done it’s chicken 😊 i’m just trying to get get my tofu recipe to taste like chipotle 😂😂
We appreciate your Vegan content! 🥰🌱💘
I appreciate that!
You mentioned nutritional yeast, and I was like yessss. I sprinkle that on everything lol
Good Girrrrl!!! You are going to the source! 😊❤
I needed this too!! But I don't do the Tofu. I've tried...❤
I love tofu!
This last summer I went on my 1st ever me vacation to st.paul, Minnesota tried a vegan restaurant there. Got the gyro. It was amazing think they said they used that tempeh & I swear it tasted like a gyro with real meat! It was kind scary. But this restaurant has good ratings & stuff. Anyway I saw some the other day but I just need to stop being scared & try it at home! ❤ Love you btw ❤thank you for all your videos as always ❤
Oooo I'll have to look into that!! Never thought to make it that way
Love this, took lots of notes!
Awesome video, thanks for sharing. I know I need to increase my protein intake. I do eat alot of everything you mentioned except the pea protein crumbles, I'll have to give them a try. 😊
Im so glad you found it helpful!
Thanks…always trying to find ways to get more info…great info
Thanks. I go to the gym 4x a week and I have been vegan since Aug 2023. It’s been hard getting protein, and I honestly am tired of relying solely on protein powders. (However, that plant boss stuff 🤢🤢🤢 yucky lol) I used TVP, and sometimes gardein products. I use the same protein powder as you and the same tofu’ ❤❤
I hear ya! I've been lifting in the gym, trying to get strong so protein is a priority for me too! I'm surprised you didn't enjoy the plant boss; I think it is pretty good, but TVP is a great option, too!
Great video! I needed this information.
Thank you for sharing your tips! I was adding things to my grocery cart/list, lol. I appreciate your videos & your creativity!! I'm intrigued by nutritional yeast, does it have a profound taste when cooked in meals?
Also, I'm curious to know your favorite take-out dishes that you tried at home & enjoyed. Does your vegan/plant-based lifestyle translate to products you use or don't use? For instance, fur on coats & things like that.
The nutritional yeast adds a nutty/cheese-like flavor to dishes. It has a profound taste, and I can tell when a dish has it!
Heyyy whole foods brand has French green lentils with 13g protein and 15g of fiber. Its definitely a good substitute I made lentil & quinoa tacos today. I will put it in a salad with hemp seeds tomorrow. I'm gonna try the Tvp you suggested . Thank you soooooo much. I need more protein.
Ooooo I need to grab those!! Thank you for sharing
Hey Shakayla Boo ❤️❤️🌹🙏
I like to make my own seitan. Viral wheat gluten is extremely high in protein, 24g per 1/4 cup. I add it in my pancakes and almost anything I bake.
Oooo never thought to add it to pancakes. I cooked with seitan years ago but haven't done it again. Im inspired to try it again
A awesome and informative video beautiful Shakayla. Thanks 👍 for sharing this information and have a lovely weekend and love 🥰 the video and love 💞 Shakayla.
Thank you! You too!
Shakayla, I love you and your channel, and I love the study of nutrition. I am plant based and have read lots on the subject of protein. If you read the latest scientific research on longevity - one book is called The Longevity Diet - by Valter Longo, the leading researcher on longevity in the world -he shows that a lower protein diet until around age 65 is what is optimal for longer life. (After age 65 we lose weight and muscle so it should be increased slightly)
He discusses how high protein intake causes the activation of the growth hormone receptor, which increases levels of insulin and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), which is associated with diabetes, cancer and accelerates aging. He stresses low but sufficient proteins - 0.31 to 0.36 grams per pound of body weight per day (130 lbs - 40-47g) (200 lbs - 60-70 g). Also, from working in the medical field for the past 15 years, I see high protein associated with kidney disease.
Anyway, I wanted to share this with you because I do care about you since following you all this time💗
Thank you so much for sharing this! Fortunately, I am only focused on meeting this personal goal for the current season that I’m in and it’s not a long term thing but I will definitely look more into this. Thanks again ❤️
@@Shakaylafelice 🧡
I truly needed this video. My whole problem not getting enough protein my levels be so low.
Im so glad you found this helpful!!!
@@Shakaylafelice Thank you beautiful
You are seriously the best thank you!! ❤
Thank you for watching ❤️
God is good! I’m getting back in the gym and I know they say protein helps your muscles recover faster
Amen!! He will give you the strength. You got this!
Great info in this video ❤
Glad it was helpful!
Love your videos friend! Can you do a full day of eating hitting 100+ grams of protein.
Thank you!! Yes, I'll do that
Im trying to shed mega body fat and i heard burn 3k kcal and eat 1g of protein times your body weight. Thanks for the info!
Tempeh is an acquired taste. 😁 I watch a vegan utuber crumble it and make sausage with fennel seeds. I may try that. 😊
Ooo I may have to try that!!
Very helpful video! Thank you!!
Glad it was helpful!!
Thank you so much for this one 👊🏽
Glad it was helpful!
Yass im here for this. I just had the gastric sleeve and Im unable to eat alot :( and I lack protein.
Pls can you guide me about Bataric sleeve surgery ! I’m just talking and making arrangements! It’s going to cost me $8 to $9,000 thousand and I need to go Mexico! Pls pls tell me how are you feeling! How’s your health! and how long it takes to heal! Should I be worry about anything about health problems after surgery?? I have been told that it’s going to affect later on the road!

Praying that you have a safe and healthy recovery!!
Thank you 😇@@Shakaylafelice
Truvani is is on Amazon and at Sprouts
I need to order some from Amazon!
Just ordered the crumbles. I may add lentils to it. I can't eat your taco meat because I'm allergic to walnuts. I'm going to try this mix instead. Thank you!
Oh yes, you'll enjoy the lentils and crumbles combined. In a previous veganuary video I added black beans to the crumbles and make taquitos. Sooo good
Thanks for a great video! Also, you look gangsta today!!
Great information
Thanks Again Beautiful... Bless You!!! 🌹🙏🏽💜
Sold. I’m totally subsided now.
I still haven’t mastered cooking tofu 😫😫 only tofu I like is the one at chipotle 😅😂🤣because mine doesn’t hit like chipotle’s 😂
Is there a con to having too much protein in your diet?
Who knew you had all these cool hats ??
Lol
Great video 👍🏾👏🏾🤗❤️
Thank you 🤗
I haven't enjoyed the tempeh except as a bacon substitute..
Yeah the tempeh bacon is good!!
I love pumfu not the fave bean or chickpea tofu - love chickpea tho. Not a tempeh fan either I agree the bacon way better
Whaaaaa? You liked the pumpkin seed tofu over the fava bean one?
I LOVE Pumfu. But it is so expensive.
What is chili crumble?
I make tempeh into a garlic spicy maple bacon. I understand what you mean about the suspicious taste 😂
That garlic spicy maple bacon does sound tempting though!! Is that your fav thing to make with the tempeh?
@@Shakaylafelice yessss I make it when I crave this million dollar bacon they have at First Watch restaurant 😁
❤❤❤❤❤
Can you pls display the products clearly so that I can buy the same brand
Hi! I will keep this in mind for future videos
I see you use nutritional yeast a lot. I’m very new to all of this could you explain?
Yep! It has a nutty flavor and is often used in dishes to bring on a cheese like flavor
Oh ok got it thank you so much. Love your channel.
👋❤️
Do you know why you need 100grams of protein a day? Are you starting a muscle building journey or....?
That’s exactly it! I’ve been strength training to build muscle and based off what I’ve learned so far, getting an adequate amount of protein is important to do so.
even if you’re not building muscle, it’s important to get lots of daily protein (1-2g of protein for each pound you weigh, usually). and plant based ppl tend to have lower protein intake, so we have to be more intentional about it like shakayla said.
TOFU 🫶 ❤ Your sauce recipe for the edamame sounds like it would be good for the tempeh. We like to crumble the tempeh, season it, and air fry it. It’s a different texture and makes a great taco or salad topping … or literally any kind of topping 🌮🥗🫘💪
Ooo I’ll give that a try with this tempeh then
❤❤
