Well my kids never seem to notice flaxseed oil or wheatgerm in their smoothies. They will however complain to high holy heaven if I attempt to spread some on a bagel and hide it with cream cheese.

As far as tofu goes I think it takes talent. You gotta know what you're doing and I just don't. Some restaurants really do wonders with tofu and others stink at it. For me tofu is really hit or miss. Unlike tempeh you can really screw tofu up so I rarely mess with the stuff.

I LOVE TEMPEH!!! That stuff rocks. I like just strips of it fried and then dipped in soy sauce.

Tofu is just really really bland. You have to take the mindset that you need to OVER season it when you do it. And its always best to let it soak in some kind of wet seasoning mixture. You can't just cook it and get the flavor in while heating it. It's a process.

The oil is freaking costly and you also lose the fiber content by just using the oil but the only way my kids are going to eat the grinded up seeds is if I mix them with other grains in bread or something. They just won't eat 'em. It's weird 'cause to me they don't taste that different from other seeds and my kids love sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds. Kids are so fussy.

Yeah tempeh is great. It's not all temperamental like tofu. It takes neither patience or skill so it's right up my ally.

donc

Legumes (beans) and all nuts
legumes (beans) and all grains
milk products whole protein

Animal proteins are broken down into amino acids that you need to make a complete protien.

I believe there are twelve amino acids, forgot the names but most legume protein lack a few of the amino acids to make a complete protein, so adding grain does the job.

new coup for you

i took a tofu cooking class at the y a couple years ago and it really was the best use of my time in years, including many college courses i've actually paid for

And why does your tone suggest that you do not care about children?

But you'd probably want to check with the daycare administrators before packing it in your child's lunch; many centers disallow it because a number of children are severely allergic to it. You know, kind of like peanut butter.
