Nutritious food that can be used in meal prep is getting a lot of attention. The nutritional benefits that soy protein provides are really all the evidence you need to ramp up your soy intake into your diet. First, it is a heart health protein that benefits bone health and cognitive health as well. It is a versatile ingredient that you can easily add to a peanut tofu bowl recipe. Soy is a high quality complete plant protein and low in saturated fat. Another easy way to add soy to your diet is to add edamame to a salad or soy milk to your smoothie.
