Mock Egg Salad:

This is a tofu classic! Some people think it really is egg salad. The mustard and turmeric give it the right color, and the other ingredients provide the traditional flavor. Adapt this recipe to include your own favorite seasonings.


8 oz tofu, crumbled or 1 pkg (10.5 oz) silken tofu
1 Tbs prepared mustard
1 Tbs honey
2 tsp vinegar
1/2 tsp turmeric (optional)
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp celery seed
1/8 tsp pepper
1/4 cup minced celery
1/4 cup minced green pepper
2 Tbs minced pickles

Crumble the tofu into a medium mixing bowl.

Combine the mustard, honey, vinegar, turmeric, onion powder, celery seed and pepper in a small dish. Pour over the tofu and mash together well.

Add the celery, green pepper and pickles and mix well again. You may serve it immediately, but letting it chill for a few hours allows the flavors to blend better.

OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

I add 10 - 12 eggs in a blender with the yolk.
Add about a 1/4 can of frozen concentrated fruit punch, mango punch, etc {dont use orange or lemon}
some water to thin it out or without water.
And half a bannana..

Turns me into a tiger for the gym.
The amount of colestoral in the eggs should be used if you work out hard enough..

I ve been doing this for about 3 years and at least 2-3 times a week.

just to understand how much eggs to use, I weigh 230 pounds and have a 6 pack cut.{not a 8 pack}

sometimes add my supplements to it.celltch,muslce drive, etc

BADASS....you shouldn't be eating raw eggs! You can get salmonella poisoning from raw eggs. Get the little cartons of egg whites, they have been paturized and will not kill you!!!!

No, where did you hear that?

believe the little cartons of egg whites has a 2 week shelf life ....but should be kept chilled and then cooked ...don't eat raw ...that Rocky thing with the raw eggs is just plain risky imo...ever had food poisoning?
