Use it in place of cow's milk in most recipes. Blend soy or cow's milk, fruit, ice and dry soy protein shake powder. When purchasing soy milk, read the label carefully. Unlike cow's milk, soy milk varies greatly in nutrient composition, depending on how it is made. Many brands are sweetened with corn syrup.
Brands also vary in calcium and vitamin A and D content.
Fermented products are another type of soy foods. Tempeh, with its firm meat-like texture, is gaining appeal. Because both tofu and tempeh are rather flavorless, they take on the flavor of the seasonings they are prepared in.
