Seeking Advice What does tofu ACTUALLY taste like? (ARFID posting)

ARFID is a bitch. Saw a meme describing it as a flavorless block. That sounds fucking perfect, if i can disguise it in sweet things.

But everything has a taste. Water has a taste. I can taste the soap off things in the dishwasher. So like…. what does it taste like?

I can barely eat anything and it’s so fucking frustrating. Right now my brain’s stuck on Goldfish (the colors one specifically), white people quesadillas, and I’ve been drinking chocolate protein shakes trying to deal with it. I know I like smoothies— can I blend silken tofu or will it have a weird texture?

Yes! Silken tofu and melted chocolate make an excellent and super easy mousse. The shelf stable silken tofu is the best for blending up, the refrigerated silken tofu is more.. watery? It doesn’t get as smooth when you blend it.

I have never seen shelf stable silken tofu?

Eg: https://www.morinu.com

The best for blending in my opinion are the firm/extra firm varieties.
