Super-Health Food

Soy protein powder is a super-health food that you can use in more than just smoothies . If you're in a hurry, want a meal that's easy, healthy, carries, & helps you avoid junk food temptation, try this. Try the basic first; then you can toss in dried cranberries, chopped walnuts, other great eats. Also sugar-free preserves, although that requires a little tweaking with the liquid to dry ingredients ratio. So try this first:

Spray inside of Pyrex measuring cup. Combine all ingredients in the cup, gently push down to avoid air pockets at bottom, microwave 2 minutes, cool a bit, & pop out or ease out with a knife.That's all. You can also place one of those pleated paper cupcake holders inside the cup, & spray the paper thingie instead. It shouldn't be necessary, though; the point here is speed & ease.
