Soy Beans- The Perfect Snack

Thanks to the recent popularity of soy products, frozen soy beans are easy to find at your local grocery store. They're light on calories and big on flavor. And because they're high in protein, they make for the perfect pre-gym snack.
At only 100 calories per 1/2 cup, edamame fills you up and keeps you feeling full without the guilt of other snack foods.
Even better, studies have now shown that isoflavones in soy beans may help lower your risk of breast cancer, decrease the risk of osteoperosis, promote prostate health, and more.
