Why it’s good

Tofu and edamame provide plant protein alongside fibre, making these surprisingly filling for such a light meal.

Protein, fibre and dietary fat slow digestion and can support normal signals involved in appetite regulation.

Edamame also provides fermentable fibre, connecting gut health with the mechanisms influencing satiety.
