Soy is a strong source of protein and is especially important because protein supplies the amino acids that build the components of the immune system. In fact, soybeans are the only plant sources that contain all essential amino acids, making it a complete protein.

Couple that with the foods rich in antioxidants and vitamins, like the mixed berries in this recipe, and you end up with a delicious drink your immune system will love!
