High Protein Chickpea-Tofu Cheesecake-- 3 Ways

Image
                                         Maybe you have seen the delicious dark chocolate vegan cheesecake whose major ingredients are chickpeas and firm tofu? I got to thinking that, hey, other vegan cheesecakes could have this same unusual foundation and be just as yummy (and high protein, for those who are looking for additional protein in their vegan diet). Here are recipes for three such cheesecakes:  1. Lemon Vanilla Chickpea-Tofu Cheesecake,  2. Maple-Pecan Chickpea-Tofu Cheesecake 3. Cherry or Strawberry Swirl Chickpea-Tofu Cheesecake  Scroll down to the recipes-- excited to see what you think!   1. ** L emon-Vanilla Chickpea-Tofu Cheesecake ** Lemon-Vanilla Cheesecake.

Best Scramble Tofu Mix - vegan, gluten-free

I don't know where I actually got this recipe from.  I just found it in scribbled into a book on my never-ending quest to quell the clutter in our home.  I think it may be out of a library cookbook, or maybe someone dictated it to me.  In any case, I apologize if it is your precious recipe.  I have changed some of the wording, and some of the ingredients.

We have a " Health Message " and we take it seriously.   Adventist Christians are pretty widely "known" for their Vegetarian Cooking Schools, the Coronary Health Improvement Plan (CHIP), the 5-Day Stop Smoking Plan, and the Depression Recovery Program.  Traditionally we stick to these Adventist resources, but a surge of interest in the benefits of plant-based lifestyle has provided a wider base of like-minded materials to draw from for our educational outreaches. In our particular church community there is a small handful of people who were "raised" in the Adventist church... the rest of us have joined, mostly as adults, and quite a few of us were  impressed to become part of this worldwide movement because of the holistic understanding of the Good News-- that is, that our spiritual and mental health do not function independently from our physical health.  We were created as "whole" beings in the likeness of our Creator. (Genesis 1:27)  Whi...
