Guest guest Posted March 24, 2002 Report Share Posted March 24, 2002 Hi everyone - this stuff is amazing! I've made vegan banana/vanilla (and just plain vanilla!) "ice cream" with this stuff in my ice cream maker and just in the freezer (stirring every few hours or so - it comes out REALLY creamy), whipped potatoes, fruit smoothies, put it in coffee, made incredible baked goods and "cream" soups - you name it! Not only is it thick and creamy to cook with, it is absolutely DELICIOUS just simply for drinking and you can get it almost anywhere! Most 'regular' supermarkets carry it now - it's in boxes on the shelves usu. in the natural foods area and there is also a cold version in the 'dairy' case that many stores are starting to carry... there is also an 'unsweetened' version, enriched, vanilla, carob, etc.- FABULOUS stuff!!! YUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! One of the BEST vegan product finds EVER, along with the Willow Run soy margarine!!!!!!!! - Jacqueline Cote Sunday, March 24, 2002 9:43 AM Re: Substitutions: Cream of Asparagus Soup Thanks for the tip on using the vitasoy creamy. I can even get that here!

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2002 Report Share Posted March 25, 2002 Sheri, thanks for the info. I've been using Silk on my morning cereal and in chai, for which it is very good, but I haven't found it a good substitute for cream. I just tried MoriNu's Creamy Tomato Soup, and found it really good. They also make a Creamy Celery, which I'm trying next. Comes in aseptic packages. Don't know how these would hold up to crock pot cooking, but I suspect it would be worth trying. --- Sheri Hearn Lazar <sbhearn wrote: > Hi everyone - > this stuff is amazing!

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2002 Report Share Posted March 25, 2002 Hi Sandra... Silk has been 'rumored' in the past to have used some form of dairy in it's composition... there was a really big hubbub about this on all the animal rights lists and since then I've stayed away from Silk.... It's Vitasoy all the way for me! - " Sandra Mort " <sandra.mort Monday, March 25, 2002 8:37 AM Re: Vitasoy Creamy Natural Soymilk... > How about SIlk creamer? My dh adores it!

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2002 Report Share Posted March 25, 2002 If I remember correctly, Silk is bottled with (and, I think, owned by) a dairy company and at one point, some Silk products in Canada were recalled because they had been contaminated with milk products. Silk doesn't ordinarily contain any form of dairy products in its products. -- g*g --- Sheri Hearn Lazar <sbhearn wrote: > Hi Sandra... > Silk has been 'rumored' in the past to have used > some form of dairy in it's > composition... there was a really big hubbub about > this on all the animal > rights lists and since then I've stayed away from > Silk.... > > It's Vitasoy all the way for me! ===== --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- http://www16.brinkster.com/gezelliggirl : gezellig girl's secret hideaway Movies - coverage of the 74th Academy Awards® http://movies./ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 26, 2002 Report Share Posted March 26, 2002 if you go to www.whitewave.com they explain how they process their soymilk to my knowledge they are not owned by a dairy company.....a dairy company does own shares in white wave...but they can't control that. margaret --- gezellig girl <gezellig_girl wrote: >If I remember correctly, Silk is bottled with (and, I >think, owned by) a dairy company and at one point, >some Silk products in Canada were recalled because >they had been contaminated with milk products.
