Nasoya Toss’ables Balsamic Vinaigrette

This chance to try out the brand-new Nasoya Toss'ables came at just the right time, since I'm changing my diet and have been on the lookout for healthy grab-and-go lunch alternatives. Toss’ables are pre-seasoned and baked tofu cubes that can be added straight to any dish you want as a meat replacement, from salad to pasta and more.

Keep in mind that they’re also vegan, gluten-free, certified organic, have no preservatives or cholesterol, and are still packed with 14 grams of protein per serving. There are two varieties available right now, Balsamic Vinaigrette or Garlic and Herb, but I was only able to find the vinaigrette in stock at my local grocery store.

The first dish I tried out with Toss’ables was a quick salad, by mixing them in with some organic power greens: kale, spinach, and chard. I found that the seasoning was spot on and very flavorful, especially if you already like the taste of Balsamic vinegar. I felt that other than adding baby tomatoes and possibly carrot shavings, the salad needed no dressing since the cubes were already so powerfully flavored. I’d say the cubes are just the right size, and yes it tastes like all other tofu and has the usual spongey texture.

Next, I decided to add the Toss’ables to some home-made ramen with a Ocean’s Halo seaweed-based broth. Since I typically throw chicken into the mix, I decided to give the Balsamic cubes a go in the broth. I thought it was a nice touch, but as far as flavoring goes it didn’t work well and I thought the Garlic & Herb would have fared better.

In the end, I really think that the Balsamic Vinaigrette flavor just wasn’t for me, and I’d have a better experience if I were able to try out the Garlic and Herb style. Tofu is an undeniably healthy source of protein, and I love that Nasoya offers it organic and preservative-free, so I can’t wait to try the second flavor and incorporate it in some new dishes.

Ocean's Halo Ramen & Miso Broth

Ocean’s Halo Ramen Broth is a Japanese flavor inspired broth that contains sustainably ocean-farmed kelp, in addition to being USDA organic and Non-GMO. We’ve all had the classic instant ramen, so I want to make clear that this broth is not even in the same realm. This product provides a much more authentic Japanese ramen experience and can even be used to make other dishes.

We made it into a noodle bowl dish, using Simply Asia Japanese Style ramen noodles with fresh carrots and the added protein of chicken. However, you can be creative and add whatever you want to your dish; on the back of the box they even suggest traditional ingredients like seaweed sheets, bamboo shoots, boiled egg, roasted pork, sliced scallions and roasted vegetables.

I personally don’t eat a lot of Japanese style foods, however I occasionally have sushi, so the seafood taste from the kelp was delicious to me. On the other hand, my boyfriend really dislikes anything with a seafood taste. The flavor was rich, and it had a thick, creamy texture, making it a hearty meal for dinner. The only downside was the amount of sodium in the broth that I found a bit overwhelming, perhaps because we don’t eat a lot of salty foods.

I was feeling adventurous, so along with trying the Ramen Broth I picked up Ocean’s Halo Miso Broth. I was expecting good things since the Ramen Broth was delicious, so we made this for lunch. For this dish, we picked up Thai Kitchen Stir-Fry Rice Noodles to try something different and mixed in cooked chicken, carrots and spinach. This broth was thinner in consistency and had a little too much salt, however it was delicious and tasted like subdued Ramen Broth, with a lighter taste. This was not my favorite out of the two, but I wouldn’t mind having it again.

Overall, the Ramen Broth was a delicious broth that I will be stocking up on next time, since it was hard to find the first time around at Walmart. However, that’s only because it was brand new, and will definitely become a household staple that will fit into the rotation of our dinner plans. Plus Ocean's Halo donates 2% of their profits to the Monterey Bay Aquarium's Children's Education Fund to inspire ocean conservation.
