Soy Meal Replacement Drinks

Meal replacement drinks are a popular diet method, where people replace one or two meals a day with a liquid meal, typically a shake or smoothie created from powder. Soy is a common ingredient. Busy people also appreciate these drinks as a quick and healthy substitute for breakfast or lunch.

Function

• Soy is often included as a meal replacement shake ingredient because it's nutritious, high in protein and low in fat. Because of the protein content, people are less likely to get hungry soon after drinking a shake containing soy.

Features

• Other ingredients might include whey, real fruit powder, yogurt powder, honey or other sweeteners, and added vitamins, minerals and amino acids.

Flavors

• Soy shakes and smoothies come in several brands in a limited variety of flavors, such as strawberry, strawberry banana, chocolate, chocolate banana and vanilla.

Additions

• To break up the monotony, people can easily add additional ingredients such as fruit, yogurt, soy milk and nuts.

Availability

• Soy meal replacement drinks can be purchased at most places that sell food products, including supermarkets, discount stores, health food shops and online retail stores.
