THE JOY OF SOY

Looking for a high-protein alternative to meat? Consider soy. It’s
cholesterol-free and low in saturated fat. Many soy-based foods are also
high in fiber, B vitamins and antioxidants.

Try some of these:
Edamame are fresh soybeans, a popular Japanese appetizer you can
also enjoy as a side dish or in salads and soups. They’re stocked in
the produce or freezer section of your supermarket.

Soy-fortified cereals pack protein into your breakfast.

Soy milk and frozen fruit can be blended into a delicious smoothie.

Soy nuts, roasted whole soybeans, make a convenient snack.

Firm tofu can be marinated and stir-fried with vegetables.

Silken tofu can be blended and used as an egg replacement in cakes
and brownies.

Soy flour boosts protein content and adds a nutty flavor to breads
and other baked goods.

Soy-based veggie burgers, higher in fiber and lower in saturated fat
than hamburgers, can also be crumbled into recipes calling for
ground beef. Try soy sausage too.

Miso paste makes a flavorful base for soup stock.

Use soy (and a little creativity) to add a protein-powered twist to your meals.
