How to prepare a low-carb lunch? A healthy Lunchbox Swap!
Swap out your high-carb bento box lunch for a sweet and savory Gluten-Free crispy orange tofu.

You won’t regret this trade, as tofu is super filling and full of protein, leaving you feeling fuller and emotionally sated for longer. Plus, because tofu is such a diverse food, you can easily amend this recipe to suit whatever you have in the cupboards for a versatile lunchbox that won’t get boring!
