Easy keto tofu egg scramble that satisfies
I had just a little bit of tofu that I was looking for eating at breakfast and egg scramble sounded like the perfect morning meal. This keto tofu egg scramble is fast, easy and if you have all the ingredients ready, prep time is easy and quick.
I love how moist the tofu and eggs are combined and the mixed cheese I folded in at the last minute adds more creamy and fantastic flavor to the overall dish. Hope you try this and I’m sure you’ll make it a regular breakfast go to in your planning meals.

Why is tofu a good thing for diabetics
Tofu can be a beneficial food for diabetics for several reasons:
- Low Glycemic Index: Tofu has a low glycemic index (GI), meaning it has a minimal impact on blood sugar levels. This is crucial for diabetics who need to manage their blood glucose levels carefully.
- High Protein Content: Tofu is a good source of plant-based protein. Protein is essential for maintaining muscle mass and can help stabilize blood sugar levels by slowing down the absorption of carbohydrates.
- Low in Carbohydrates: Tofu contains very few carbohydrates, which helps in controlling blood sugar spikes. This makes it a suitable protein option for diabetics.
- Rich in Nutrients: Tofu is packed with essential nutrients such as calcium, iron, and various vitamins and minerals. These nutrients support overall health and can be particularly beneficial for diabetics who need to maintain a balanced diet.
- Versatile and Low in Calories: Tofu is a versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes, from stir-fries to smoothies. It’s also low in calories, which can help diabetics maintain a healthy weight.
- Supports Heart Health: Tofu is made from soy, which has been shown to have heart health benefits. For diabetics, maintaining cardiovascular health is particularly important as they are at a higher risk for heart disease.
Incorporating tofu into a diabetic diet can provide a nutritious, low-carb, and versatile protein source that helps manage blood sugar levels and supports overall health.
