Soy and Protein Shakes
Preparation, uses, and tips
Use soy and protein shakes instead of coffee and Danish for a fast breakfast. Whirl shakes in a blender with a banana or a handful of berries for extra nutrition.
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.
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.
