2 slices of sourdough bread

DIRECTIONS
Add all ingredients for the “tofu cream cheese” into a food processor. Blend until smooth, takes around 1 minute. Store it in an air-tight container and you have meal-prepped high-protein spread for the week.
For the sandwich, prep the tofu slices. Cut the half a block of firm tofu into thin slices. Add them to a pan, pour over the soy sauce, olive oil and the garlic powder. Fry on medium-high heat, each side, until they become golden brown. Takes around 5 minutes.
Then, slice the tomato and avocado. Toast two slices of your favorite sourdough.
Assemble the sandwich by spreading some of the tofu spread onto one of the toast. Add the lettuce leaves, tomato slices, avocado and tofu slices. Finish with a small handful of sprouts, and add the other toast on top.
Enjoy!
