You're just SOY nuts!

Finding ways to get protein into your healthy diet can be boring.....like how much chicken can one person consume, right?!? So incorporating things like lowfat dairy ( Greek yogurt is divine! Thick and creamy) and eggs are great ways to change it up. BUT one of my little secrets to getting more protein is.......soy nuts! Crunchy, salty and satisfying, and contain much more protein than your regular nut varieties. Easy to pack and carry on the go, it's your new perfect healthy snack!
Our friends at Soya tell us:

Soy nuts

homemade soy nutsSoy nuts are a healthier snack option than many other snacks. There are two types: deep-fried soy nuts and dry roasted soynuts. They are made from whole soybeans which have been soaked in water and then baked or roasted until crisp and brown. Soy nuts are similar in texture and flavour to peanuts, but are healthier as they contain far less fat and more protein than peanuts. Soy nuts can be found in different flavours, such as salt or paprika. You can even find soy nuts covered with a layer of chocolate or yogurt! Soy nuts contain most of the nutrients of the whole soybean and consuming soy nuts is an easy way to get enough isoflavones. 

So go NUTS! Everyone already knows you're SOY nuts! Hee hee
