Benefits of Tofu for Kids
Silken tofu is the secret ingredient in this pudding, and it’s a game-changer. Tofu is a great source of plant-based protein, calcium, and choline —key nutrients that support growing bodies. Plus, it’s naturally low in saturated fat and cholesterol-free.
Parents often wonder how to incorporate more tofu into their kiddo’s diets. Using it in a dessert like this is a brilliant strategy. Kids get their chocolate fix, and you get peace of mind knowing they’re getting some quality nutrition. Win-win!
