pete's tofu 2 go
I had to pick up some dog food for Jolie and decided to look around at what our large chain grocery store had to offer in the way of vegan products. I wasn't expecting much, but I got sorta excited when I saw Pete's tofu 2 go flavored desserts. I was hoping that perhaps this could replace Liv's yougert that she loves so much. It has a bright/cheery package and there were 3 varieties to choose from (very berry, peach/mango, and key lime) and as you can see I went with the green in honor of it being March. It comes with two single-serve trays (not recyclable...there's a 5 on the bottom) and little plastic spoons are included! Now that's cute...picnic worthy. So bravely, I put my spoon where my spoon has not gone before. Ughh - gasp - arghhh - Nobody was looking....so I spit it out. The consistency was limp with water pools, and it was kinda chalky, and the lime flavor wasn't strong/tangy enough to overcome those defects. "OK, but what did you really think?" I thought it was nasty. Tell me, have you tried this? Wonder if Shmoo would like it? He can have my other half.

Hi. I just found you via Harmonia, as I am participating in Midweek Munchies as well. I tried one of those Pete's flavors one time (possibly the Thai Ginger if there is such a kind). I thought it was equally as nasty. Then, I tried those mini cubes for a super-emergency when I was still buying mostly pre-made, pre-packaged items, and this too was mushy and not worth swallowing. I have been suprised to see how long these products have been in the stores, as they are not tasty, hot or cold. Do you ever marinate your own tofu?
I always wondered if that stuff was good--thanks for the heads up!
btw, have you tried Silk soy yougurt? It's tasty.
Ok, Julie, I'm now on the look out for silk soy yougert!
EatPeacePlease: My husband is the king of marination! His absolute fav is Soy Vay.
the cubes by petes, the seseme ginger ones are delicious if you fry then in olive oil, its the only tofu i can stand now that i discovered it
my 8 month old loves it too..
i would never go back to cold tofu again
I used to use Pete's plain tofu extra firm until my store quit selling it. It is the only tofu that I like to use, as it is quite firm and marinates well. I like to make tofu bites with it but, alas, I can't find it anymore.
