Meal Replacement or Supplement with Soy (1 Cup)

Use a smaller serving of the soy-based meal replacement or split it into two portions taken 1–2 hours apart.

Choose an unsweetened soy product with little or no added sugar; check for syrups, maltodextrin, rice flour, or fruit juice concentrates.

Have the soy supplement alongside protein and healthy fat, such as plain Greek yogurt, eggs, nuts, seeds, avocado, or natural peanut butter.

Add soluble fiber to the shake, such as chia seeds, ground flaxseed, psyllium husk, or a small portion of berries.

Avoid drinking it on an empty stomach; take it with or after a balanced meal rather than as a standalone carbohydrate-heavy drink.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk or do other light activity soon after consuming it, if medically appropriate for you.
