If you want to eat more soy products, but don't want to alter your menu much, you may find these easy-to-use soy protein products handy. All of the products mentioned in this list can be found at your local grocery store or health food store, and all of them are easy to add into your diet without using complicated recipes. You can pick up a few of these today and increase your soy protein intake without any fuss.

Soy Protein Bars
Instead of a candy bar, breakfast bar or granola bar, grab a soy protein bar for a lower-sugar, higher-protein snack or breakfast. Soy protein bars are perfect for pre or post work out snacks; they also make good lunches for busy kids or adults.

Soy Milk
Plain or flavored, soy milk is an easy way to increase your soy protein intake. Use soy milk in your coffee or tea, in milkshakes, in recipes, or on cereal. Drink it instead of cow's milk; you may find you prefer it, especially if you buy the flavored kind.

Soy Protein Powder
Just add a scoop of soy protein powder, most commonly found in chocolate or vanilla flavor, to any smoothie, milkshake or glass of milk for a quick, tasty, no-fuss way to get a shot of soy protein. This is a good way to get children to drink milk; soy protein powder flavors can be quite delicious, enticing fussy drinkers into enjoying milk.

Frozen Tofu
It doesn't get any easier than this one. Pick up a tub of frozen tofu in the flavor of your choice and scoop up a bowlful just like you would frozen yogurt or ice cream. Don't forget the hot fudge sauce!

Soy Nuts
Soy nuts are dried soybeans that have been salted and flavored. Try mixing them with a handful of dried fruit for a tasty snack.
