Question:

Would love to know what the best Soy replacement is?

— James Robinson

Answer:

Well, James, I will say that I have been eating soy for something like 30 years and I'm doing fine and I really like it. But unless I recommend that, unless someone has a soy allergy, they stop worrying about it because it really is very healthful. If however, you cannot have soy, then I use oat milk. I use oat milk a lot because there are always people who are avoiding soy. There are people who are allergic to nuts and rice milk for baking except for a few little, um, non baked desserts. Rice milk doesn't have enough protein. So I think that oat is number one. And you can use almond milk, you can use cashew milk and that really works really well. If you can't have tofu, you can make something using white beans, for example.
