Soy Crumbles

littletoblerone

So I'm trying to build muscle, but to meet my daily protein goals I decided to go the natural way and not use protein shakes and other supplements.
I found these soy crumbles (add in boiling water, wait for 10 minutes) which contain 52g of protein per 100g.
Since I'm not a very good cook, I was wondering if I can just make 100g worth of it (or a different quantity), put them in a blender and pour yogurt into it and make it more like a drink than a solid food.
Would that work? Would it be tasty? If no, could you maybe suggest other simple ideas to consume them?

Thanks!

so you want to go the natural way, so you decide to use something that is extremely over processed?

To each his/her own, i guess.:huh:

I mean, i don't see the soy crumbles as being "superior" in terms of "natural" to the protein shakes. natural would be to eat actual food...

But anyway, those soy crumble things (IMHO) are gross. My late mom used to buy them and try to get us to eat it. we ended up giving it to the dog (who apparently ate anything). If you are going to use them, make sure to rinse them thoroughly after the boiling water dunk. I don't think it's going to taste good as is, usually people cook/saute them with other things.

Meh, I don't see how these soy crumbles (are you talking about TVP?) are any more "natural" than taking a protein shake... they may be less so actually.

But as far as how to use them, I'm not sure how they'd really work in shake form. If they're what I'm thinking of they're more comparable to meat. They're usually used in tacos, or pasta sauce, or maybe in eggs. Similar to tofu they take on the flavor of what you cook them with. But as texture they're more a meat substitue. If your looking for somethign to throw in a shake, I would recommend a more natural, vegan protein supplement.
