Soybeans

Soybeans were a great part of my diet during the first few months of losing weight. 

I sort of neglected these beautiful round things, so I found some dried soybeans and boiled some today. 

Dried soybeans are easy to find in asian/Korean markets.  They just need to be washed and soaked in lukewarm water for about 5 hours to get them nicely reconstituted to boil or steam them. 

Boiled soybean can be blended with some water in thr blender to create a nice and thick soy milk like smoothie. 

Have it for breakfast. They are rich in protein and all sorts of nutrients.
