Soy and Protein Shakes Information
Designed originally as meal substitutes for
dieters or nutritional supplements for athletes, soy and protein shakes are a fast way to add
vegetarian protein to any diet. They’re
usually based on whey, egg, or
soy protein, and can provide a concentrated source of nutrition. But they also tend to be
high in sugar and low in fiber, so moderation is required.
Varieties
Soy and protein shakes come in a variety of flavors, including chocolate, vanilla,
strawberry, and others. Many natural varieties use less sugar, colors, and flavors, and often
contain added fiber. Shakes may come in powdered form, or in cans or bottles, usually in
single servings.
Buying and storing tips
Store liquid shakes in the refrigerator, unopened, for up to two weeks. Store the powdered
or canned variety in a cool, dark location for up to three months.
Availability
Soy and protein shakes are available year-round.
Preparation, uses, and tips
Use soy and protein shakes instead of
