Mine, like so many children, are picky eaters. Two out of 3 of them will rarely eat any sort of meat. While they do enjoy other sources of protein such as beans, cheese and yogurt, I still worry that they aren’t getting enough protein. If for nothing else than my peace of mind, I started offering them Soy Protein Powder from Shaklee. It comes in two flavors — Chocolate and Vanilla. The chocolate flavor is perfect for adding to milk. My four year old drinks it right up and thinks it’s a treat but I couldn’t fool my three year old, oddly enough. The Vanilla flavor is great for adding to smoothies and the “healthy” taste is much easier to disguise. I also use the chocolate in banana or banana/peanut butter smoothies — Yum!
So, it’s obviously not just for kids. Need an energy boost during the day? Forget about caffeine which with give you a boost but then leave you feeling sluggish. Try Energizing Soy Protein from Shaklee instead. Soy protein is a biologically complete protein that is plant based. It’s low in fat, cholesterol free, and full of essential amino acids. It helps build muscle and supports the immune system. Soy protein can even help you maintain normal cholesterol levels and promote heart health. Energizing Soy Protein also contains soy isoflavones which can help reduce hot flashes and promote breast health. The powdered formula can be mixed with milk, juice, water or any one of your favorite beverages. Three tablespoons provides 14 grams of protein, enough to give you a sustained energy lift that won’t leave you feeling like you rode a roller coaster. This natural dietary supplement retails for around $43 per can.
