Ways to Increase Your Protein Intake . . Add Tofu as a Smoothie and Shake Thickener: Tofu doesn’t have to just be scrambled into a stir fry—you can use it as a thickener in shakes and smoothies, as well as a base for dips and soups. A half a cup of the stuff will give you 10 grams of excellent, flavorless protein, but make sure to choose a tofu that doesn’t use the coagulating agent magnesium sulfate, which has been shown to cause cancer in lab animals. Tofus that use nigari salts, lushui, or clean sea water as a coagulating agent are safer choices.
