Also, what are you looking for when you purchase your soy milk? e.g. Are you looking for monounsaturated fats, protein, etc?

Jesus. I have no idea. I’ve been trying a lot of different soy milks these days because I’ve been drinking soy milk hot chocolate. Starbucks is ok. But the others are about the same. Some a tiny bit better and some not quite as good. The main problem is the chalkiness, but I’ve gotten used to it, and I sure do love not having my stomach all upset. But I have no idea what brands they all use. Pathetic, isn’t it?
I’m not a health guru by any means, but I do love the taste Silk’s soy milk (the regular kind in the blue carton).
Soy milk isn’t healthy.
Almond dream is great. I look at the ingredients, limited or minimal, the fact that it isn’t gmo made or estrogen filled.
Also it tastes good plain or in things.
Yep I use So Good too but the Australian selections are slightly different. I use this one. I like it. But I use very little milk, usually only on my cereal, although some nights I like a drink of it before bed. In that case though, we always have low fat permeate free cow’s milk, I don’t like the soy milk well enough to drink a glass of it.
@nofurbelowsbatgirl actually that does look alot better then the soy products we have in town here. And I am always happy to see a gmo free product. Still almond, hazelnut, and sunflower or even rice milk taste better.
I never did jump on the soy bandwagon.
I think Silk brand has the best taste and texture.
I started drinking soy milk because I have a lactose intolerance peoblem and well I really was ok with soy milk I enjoy regular milk so now I find lactose free milk to be a much better tasting alternative. And tbh it even taste better and has a more pure taste than milk with lactose and it will also kill your wallet, costing literally twice as much as one bag of lactose enhanced milk. :/

The picky vegans in my office like the local grocery store brand best. Publix Light Plain Organic soymilk.
The others prefer sweetened vanilla almond milk.
I put fat free cow milk on my oatmeal, because I prefer to not drink my legumes.
@wundayatta Have you tried almond milk for hot chocolate instead?
There is a brand called So Delicious that makes various almond and coconut milks. They really are delicious. The coconut coffee creamer is very creamy so I don’t miss the half and half at all. Most brands of almond milk are quite good.
I stay away from too much soy due to the estrogen issues it can bring and the GMO soy. If you want to go with soy look for non-GMO.
