Why You’ll Love This High Protein Smash Filling

  • Packed with protein from tofu and avocado
  • Creamy and tangy without dairy or eggs
  • Seasoned with flavorful spices like paprika and chili
  • Versatile for sourdough, wraps, or as a dip
  • Quick to make and simple to clean up

Ingredients You’ll Need for this High Protein Smash Filling

You’ll only need a few everyday ingredients:

  • Ripe avocado
  • Firm tofu
  • Dairy-free yogurt (soy or coconut)
  • Red onion and green onion
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Spices: paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, chili flakes, salt, and pepper

Optional: Vegan butter or olive oil for toasting the sourdough bread until perfectly crisp.

How to Make Vegan High-Protein Smash Filling

Step 1: Prepare the Filling
In a bowl, mash together avocado, crumbled tofu, yogurt, red onion, green onion, olive oil, and seasonings. Mix until creamy but slightly chunky. Adjust the salt or spice level as needed.
Step 2: Lightly brush sourdough slices with vegan butter or olive oil and toast them until golden and crisp. Spread the tofu-avocado mixture generously over the toasted bread. Finish with a sprinkle of chili flakes or a drizzle of olive oil for extra flavor.

This recipe comes together quickly, creating a wholesome and satisfying vegan breakfast or snack.

Serving Suggestions for High Protein Smash Filling

  • Top with sliced tomatoes, arugula, or sprouts for added freshness
  • Sprinkle hemp hearts or sesame seeds for extra protein
  • Serve with a fruit bowl or smoothie for a balanced meal

Tips for Success

  • Choose firm tofu for the ideal texture. Softer tofu will make the mixture too runny
  • A squeeze of lemon juice brightens the flavor and helps prevent browning
  • For an extra creamy finish, add a bit more yogurt or olive oil
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days

FAQs about High Protein Smash Filling

Can I make this without tofu?
Yes. Substitute mashed chickpeas or white beans for a similar protein-rich texture.
What type of bread is best?
Sourdough gives the best flavor and crunch, but multigrain or rye bread also work beautifully.
Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes. Prepare the filling in advance and refrigerate it. Toast the bread just before serving for the best texture.
Is this recipe gluten-free?
It can be made gluten-free by using your favorite gluten-free bread.
How much protein does it contain?
Each serving contains approximately 15 to 17 grams of plant-based protein, depending on the tofu brand you use.
