Low-fat soy milk is a plant-based beverage made from defatted soybeans and water. It is a nutritious and healthy alternative to animal milk, especially suitable for those looking to reduce their intake of saturated fats or for people with lactose intolerance.
Its origin dates back to East Asia, where soy has been a staple food for thousands of years. Soy milk gained worldwide popularity due to its nutritional benefits and versatility in cooking.
Among its properties, it stands out for its low fat and cholesterol content, high concentration of good-quality proteins, and for being a source of isoflavones, antioxidant compounds that may contribute to cardiovascular well-being and bone health. It is also rich in B vitamins and minerals such as calcium, iron, and magnesium, especially when fortified.
In different Latin American countries, low-fat soy milk can be found under various names or synonyms, such as: leche de soya light, bebida de soya baja en grasa, or simply leche de soja descremada. These terms refer to the same product, ideal for preparing breakfasts, desserts, smoothies, and recipes that require a dairy option with less fat.
