Jenhart – That’s great! Just be sure you get the organic variety to avoid GMO’s.

Jenhart – This is not uncommon. It’s the same reason I no longer use dairy. I didn’t tolerate it as an infant, and now it’s cropped up again giving me problems. No fun.

Even though I can’t eat much soy, I do like to use shelled edamame instead of peas in shepard’s pie instead if peas in order to add some fiber and protein.

I have tried to make soy more of a protein source in my diet. I do like tofu, and really love miso. I have found if I eat soy more than once or twice a week, it causes a great deal of stomach upset. When I talked to my Mom about it, she said I had a similar reaction to soy formula as an infant.

Lindsaymc – I’ve tried it and I wasn’t a fan. But I’m glad you’re enjoying it!

Not many people write about tempeh, and I have recently discovered how great it is. My husband and I have become vegetarian/clean eaters in the last couple of months, but we’ve both never been big fans of tofu. I hate the texture and I’ve also heard some of the soy controversy around it. I read somewhere about tempeh and ended up tracking it down at the local Whole Foods by me. It has a nuttier texture and is an easier substitute for meat for us. We make sure to get the organic kind which is pretty easy to find and fairly inexpensive. We’ve been stir frying it with brown rice and veggies, or just eating it on the side with our regular meal as another source of protein. I would highly recommend trying it.

Tasha – You are so right! Soy is truly in everything. That’s why I eat clean. The cleaner you eat, the less you will get in your diet. Because the truth is, any soy that is added to a product is a genetically modified soy. Not something I want to put into my body.

Fermented soy is a very healthy food. But again, make sure it’s organic or you’ll end up with a GMO.

It’s amazing what’s happening to our food supply, isn’t it?

I limit my soy intake. I eat tofu on occasion. I also have heard that fermented soy is generally better for you than regular. The problem is now soy is virtually in everything =(

I thought I was being so virtuous over the last couple of years, starting every day with a bowl of Kashi Go Lean, 1/2 a banana, some berries, and Silk light original. Even before reading this post, though, I’d been hearing negative things about soy. I love the high protein content in my cereal, it really gets me through the morning, but maybe it’s time to re-think my breakfast routine.

Hi Jodi,

Almond milk is relatively mild. It has a more “natural” almond flavor. It’s not strong like and extract, but it does taste like almonds. My best suggestion is just to try it.

I’ll try the soy you suggested. Thanks so much!
