Food for Thought: Say yes to soy Comment DailyTidings.com Writer Posted Feb. 17, 2015 at 7:26 AM Updated Feb 17, 2015 at 7:27 AM Posted Feb. 17, 2015 at 7:26 AM Updated Feb 17, 2015 at 7:27 AM » Social News TIP OF THE WEEK Besides giving meals a satisfying boost, soy-based foods are a heart-healthy addition to your diet. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, a diet containing 25 grams of soy protein per day, accompanying other foods that are low in saturated fats and cholesterol, may decrease the chance of heart disease. “Soy protein is a very high quality protein, equivalent to egg or milk protein,” said Mindy Kurzer, Ph.D. and professor with the Department of Food Science and Nutrition at the University of Minnesota. Try some of these meal ideas to help you cut calories, saturated fat and cholesterol from your diet: • Breakfast: Take on the day by enjoying a fruit and soy milk blended smoothie for breakfast. Soymilk is the only plant-based dairy alternative with an average of 7 grams of protein per serving plus calcium, potassium, and vitamins A and D. • Lunch: Opt for a juicy veggie burger, or try this flavorful recipe for Tuna Edamame Salad, which allows you to take in all the healthy benefits of these young green soybeans with a quick and easy lunch. Did you know one cup of edamame contains 17 grams of protein? • Snack: Throw a protein-packed nutrition bar in your car, bag or purse so you can have a healthy snack while running errands. • Dinner: Load up on vegetables and protein with a tasty and easy stir fry using marinated tofu strips. Or cholesterol-free soy “crumbles” can quickly and easily be added to favorites including pasta sauce, soup, chili and tacos. — Family Features EASY RECIPE: Tuna Edamame Salad 1 cup frozen shelled edamame, cooked according to package directions 1 cup cherry tomatoes, cut in half 1 cup carrots, shredded 1 can tuna, water packed, drained 1/2 cup golden raisins 1/4 cup red onion, diced 1/4 cup bottled, reduced-fat Italian salad dressing Mix edamame, tomatoes, carrots, tuna, raisins and onion in medium bowl.
