Fall is in the Air.
I immediately start thinking about warm and cozy foods and drinks.
Soyfood ingredients are so versatile and easy to use.
Soups are a natural for soyfoods and perfect for cool weather days.
Whether you are making the soup from scratch or using a canned soup,
think about adding shelled Edamame, TSP/TVP (Textured Soy
Protein(TSP) or Textured Vegetable Protein (TVP) same product), Miso
(for added umami flavor) or if a creamy soup is desired, add plain
soymilk. What’s great about all these products, they are packed with
protein. Protein makes you feel full longer so with the added protein in
the soups you will make it to dinner without eating lots of empty
calorie snacks.
Another incredibly easy idea…hot chocolate! All you do is take
chocolate soymilk, add to a microwavable cup, heat for 1 or 2 minutes
and voila! Perfect hot chocolate for cool evenings while watching a
favorite movie or TV program.
As we are all cooking at home a lot more these days, think about ways
to add just a little soy to every meal.
