Soybeans
What is this food?
This is a sweet soybean pudding (often like Geerlig’s cheese with syrup) with tapioca starch balls. It’s a dessert-style snack made from soy and sweet syrup, with a chewy tapioca add-on.
Why it matters to health
Soy-based pudding can help support your daily protein needs, which is useful for keeping you full between meals. In this serving, it has low fat and very low saturated fat, but it also has carbohydrates (13.1g) and sugar (6.2g), plus low fiber (0.1g). The tapioca and syrup can raise the sweetness and carbs, so it’s best to enjoy it as a snack rather than a frequent main food. Sodium is relatively low (23mg), which is a plus.
Healthier tips
- For a balanced day (3 meals + 1–2 snacks), try these:
- Choose smaller portions or share—keep it as a treat snack.
- Pair with something filling if you can (e.g., a glass of milk or a small serving of fruit) to help balance the sweetness.
- Watch the syrup: ask for less syrup or choose lower-sugar options when available.
- Don’t make it daily; rotate with other snacks like yogurt, nuts (small handful), or fruit.
