Tofu on a stick? You betcha! Try Grilled Tofu Kabobs

Tofu kabobs? Who said that only meat eaters could enjoy grilled food?

Tofu Kabobs are perfect for when your vegetarian friends come over for a barbeque. (Double check to make sure the Adobo sauce is vegetarian. If not, make a seperate skewer and use teriyaki sauce.) It’s also something you meat eaters should try since nutritionally tofu is:

• A great source of protein. One half-cup serving (approximately 4 ounces) of raw firm tofu contains 10.1 grams of protein. By comparison, 1/2 cup of milk contains 5.1 grams of protein, one whole egg contains 6 grams, and 4 ounces of ground beef contains about 26 grams.
• Low in calories. One half-cup serving of raw firm tofu contains 94 calories. By comparison, 4 ounces of ground beef contains 331 calories, and 1/2 cup of 2% milk has 60 calories.
• Low in fat. One half-cup serving of raw firm tofu contains 5 grams of fat, and low fat tofu contains 1.5 grams of fat per serving. 4 oz of beef has 15 grams of fat, while one whole egg contains 5.5 grams of fat.
• A good source of calcium. One half-cup serving of firm tofu contains about 227 mg of calcium or nearly 22% of the Recommended Daily Allowance. Check the label since calcium amounts vary by brand.
