Do any of you use Soy products? How?

I switch between soy, rice and skim milk for my smoothies..just depends what I have on hand and feel like..no method to that at all. I like the vanilla flavored soy/rice milks though.
About the Chai...have you ever thought of having chai tea and putting milk (or soy) in it to make it a little more like the latte, but less sugar and other stuff? Just a thought...I have chai tea and love it (love the pumpkin pie like taste..mmm).
I like to put PB on Wasa Crispbread, the oat flavor. I usually have a piece of fruit (usually a banana) and I have recently incorporated string cheese into my breakfast. These are some of the new things I am making for breakfast.
I still have the old standby of cereal, fruit and soymilk.
It's also good to fix some toast, w/pb and tomato slices... really yummy. I am going to have that one morning this week. Since I got some great tomatos at the store.
and of course some water w/breakfast too.
Summer Se7en Challenge Goals
1. Binge control: no more than 2 times per week 2. Think positive and give credit for all the little successes 3. Go swimming
I have a Chai from Starbucks every weekday morning and a usually a Zone Perfect Fudge Gramham bar. I tried to give up the chai but the cravings got to be to much for me. So, I've just tried to reduce the damage by getting the smallest they have and swithcing to Soy milk. That's been a double good thing since I'm also lactose intolerant. Switching has really saved my digestive system.

I just had a bananna with some Peanut Butter on it. I put the PB on bite by bite, so I wouldn't glump it on all over me and the fruit.
Anyone else have any quick and yumm recipes you care to share?
I have two main breakfasts I make.
One is I have 1 cup Kashi Go lean with skim milk and blueberries, 3 pieces lf back bacon (high protein in this stuff too) and a bit more fruit with tea w/milk and sweetener
Second, I have a packet cream of wheat with sugar twin brown sugar and milk (mmm), the back bacon, fruit and tea.
I never used to eat breakfast..EVER. iT was too difficult..and if anything I'd grab a choc chip muffin on the way to work... (hmm how did I gain weight again? LOL). The muffins were gourmet, and high fat..yikes. Couldn't do that now, don't crave that stuff.
So glad I found my way of eating for ME...took so long..years, but I am here
A favorite for me is 2 slices of toast, 2 laughing cow cheese wedges spread on toast, 1 veggie sausage patty crumbled and put on one slice of toast...top with other toast and have a yummy breakfast sandwich. I also do this as a wrap for a breakfast on the go.
YUMMY!

I have making a mix of 1 T pb, 1/2 c oatmeal and 1/2 milk. I sometimes add a packet of Splenda, but lately seem ok without. This really holds me for the morning. I think it is the good combo of whole grain, protein and fat.
The majority of the time I eat cereal or oatmeal, but if I want a heftier breakfast cuz I'm going to be out much of the day on the weekend or something, then I will do the Egg Mock Muffin...my version is a whole wheat English Muffin, 1 slice of Canadian bacon, 1 slice of fat free cheese, and 1 egg. YUM!
Summer Se7en Challenge Goals: 1. Add back core & toning work + weight work 1X each per week to start. 2. Tackle the Sugar Monster--Have a sugar free mint after lunch and dinner, wait 20 minutes, and reassess the need for a sweet treat.

a piece of fruit, 1/2 cup yogurt and 2 Tablespoons of Grape Nuts and a big glass of water. Gets me through water aerobics satisfied without feeling too full.
I've had this so many mornings, it should be mundane. But, to me, it's not. I have 1 cup of Kashi Go Lean Crunch with 1 cup of milk, a banana and 2 Bocca breakfast sausges. YUM!
