Protein isn’t just for the gym. Fuel your day with these simple, nutritious recipes that put protein packed tempeh at the heart of your plates
Protein is about more than just muscle. It’s the building block of almost everything in the body. “Just like Lego bricks can become cars, castles or spaceships, the amino acids in protein help build everything from immune cells to hormones and organs,” explains Dr Rupy Aujla.
But that doesn’t mean you need to eat more meat. “Tempeh is one of my all-time favourite plant-based proteins,” Dr Rupy adds. “It contains all nine essential amino acids in good amounts, plus fibre, isoflavones and phytonutrients that are all anti-inflammatory and gut-friendly. It’s also incredibly versatile – it soaks up flavour beautifully and can be used in stir-fries and salads bowls.”
Made from whole organic soybeans, Tiba Tempeh is a natural superfood that packs nearly twice as much protein as tofu. With 22g protein per 100g, it rivals chicken breast for protein content, and comes with the added benefits of natural fibre and gut friendly prebiotics. Plus, it’s plant-based, gluten-free and has a super low carbon footprint.
Tempeh’s firm texture and all-star nutritional profile make it the perfect addition to all your everyday meals, from stir-fries and curries to salad bowls.
Tiba Tempeh’s versatile Original Block can be marinated, cubed, grated or crumbled to elevate almost any meal. For a richer, smoky flavour, mix things up with the Smoky Block. Short on time? Tiba Tempeh’s Sweet Chilli Pieces can be thrown straight into the pan to add a protein pep to your lunchtime salad or weeknight dinner in minutes.
Ways to power up your day with tempeh
Upgrade your weekend fry-up with tempeh ‘bacon’. Simply slice, marinade and fry until golden. It works perfectly in a creamy carbonara too. Snack smarter by switching out ultra-processed protein powders for a more natural alternative. Blend half a block of Tiba Tempeh with banana, peanut butter, plant based milk, agave and cacao powder for a creamy chocolate protein smoothie that ticks all the boxes.
