How Much Protein Does Soy Milk Have?
Most conventional soy milks contain between 7-12g of protein per cup. Generally, we need about 0.8g protein per kg of bodyweight (or calculate 0.36 x lbs. of body weight). This means, for many people just one serving of soy vegan milk could make up almost a fourth of their RDA.
In case you’re wondering if the protein in soy milk is a ‘complete’ protein, you should know that almost all plant and animal-derived foods (except gelatin) contain all of the essential amino acids in varying amounts. This means if you consume a wide range of plant foods (including legumes, grains, nuts, and seeds) and eat enough calories per day, you are sure to get all of the essential amino acids on your vegan lifestyle.
