This morning I made chai tea using Westsoy Nonfat vanilla with calcium
and vitamin A and D added. To give the soy milk more body, protein and
calcium I added 1 or 2 tablespoons of "Better than Milk" Lite dry powder
with 50% daily value of calcium in every 2 tbsp. serving and .5 gram of
fat.
Just checked my boxes of soy milk and the Westsoy Nonfat has (per 8 oz.
serving):
calcium 20%, vitamin A 10% and vitamin D 25%, 0 fat and 3 gm. protein.
The Westsoy Plus has: calcium 35%, vitamin A 10%, vitamin D 25% and
vitamin B2 25%, and 4 gm. fat and 6 gm of protein. Not much difference
in vitamin percentages, but a lot more fat and significantly more
protein in the Plus. Adding dry soy milk to nonfat will boost the good
guys:
calcium, protein, body and taste without adding any fat.
Anybody know the isoflavone values of the different kinds and brands of
soy milk?
