I love silken tofu blended with orange juice - makes a creamy "smoothy" and great for hot days (or instant breakfast!).
I would also be wary though with adding to your soy intake, MD, as a previous poster mentioned about the quality vs quantity of soy products consumed in Asian cultures. Tofu isn't actually fermented from what I understand. There's a great organic Miso soup, which is fermented soy product, I can't remember what the brand is, will try to post when I get home.
I just read through your other thread, so I know why you're interested in making the switch but I have also read that Westerners who replace cow's milk with soy milk are ingesting WAY more than Asian people on a traditional diet do. Soy milk contains phytooestrogens (plant oestrogen) which is why it's not recommended for guys to drink (DH is lactose intolerant and didn't know this one until we met. He's off it now while we're ttc, but likes the rice milk ok). The phytooestrogens can also raise female oestrogen levels, which isn't such an issue, but I believe that raised oestrogen levels have also been linked with "funky breast disease". Just something else to consider.

Might try the bonsoy and the marinated tofu first and see how we go!
