If there were another way to prepare tempeh in the morning with his fruit, he would probably try that. it's really the tempeh he's after, not the sautéing. any ideas? Lucia Tempeh or soy protein. If he would be happy with a soy based protein shake, he might get what he is looking for there. I have heard of people who will be tofu in a blender with fruit for a shake. I'm not a fan of tempeh or tofu, so I'm not sure what this is like. If he is really after fats, a blender shake with raw eggs, flax seed oil, and fruit will appeal to him. Micaela
