25 Ways to Get 25 Grams of Soy Protein
25 grams of soy protein per day drops LDL cholesterol 10–20 points and can be an important ingredient in controlling coronary plaque and minimizing your need for prescription medication. Just remember the magic number: 25 grams. Here are 25 ways to tally up those 25 grams every day.
1) Soy protein powder
Soy protein powder provides the foundation for your soy protein program. Three rounded tablespoons of soy protein powder provides 25 grams of soy protein. You can use 2 tbsp in protein shakes with soy milk (for an additional 7–8 grams soy protein per 8 oz cup; add blueberries, yogurt for taste). You can add a tablespoon to yogurt, oatmeal or oat bran cereal, even slip a tablespoon or two into your recipes for vegetarian chile or turkey meatloaf. The problem with soy protein powder is that it’s sort of cumbersome and difficult to blend into many foods, since it doesn’t dissolve like sugars. Lots of mixing is therefore required. Although soy protein powder provides the most assured and concentrated source of soy protein, the 24 additional sources of soy protein listed here can help you take in your magic 25 grams per day.
