- Nutrition Note:Seeds, including sesame seeds featured in this recipe, are packed with protein, fiber and healthy fats.Soy milk is another nutrient powerhouse in this recipe, especially if you choose the unsweetened fortified variety. Unsweetened soy milk is very similar to low fat cow's milk in terms of calories, fat, protein, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium. Plus, soy is rich in plant chemicals that belong to a group called phytoestrogens that have anti-inflammatory properties and may reduce the risk of various chronic diseases.
