Lightlife's Smoky Tempeh Strips are made from fermented organic soybeans and seasoned to mimic traditional bacon. They add a hearty boost of protein along with gut-friendly fiber from fermented soy, but their high sodium—over 30% of the daily limit per serving—makes them better suited as a flavor enhancer than a main protein source. Mix a few strips with plain tempeh, tofu, or yuba to bring smoky depth without overwhelming your meal’s sodium content, or serve with plenty of colorful vegetables to help balance the salt.
