Guest guest Posted October 5, 2002 Report Share Posted October 5, 2002 There seem to be more and more milk alternatives available in our area lately. Have you tried any others? There is rice milk. I found it all right but not my thing. Recently they started selling almond milk in our grocery store and I absolutely love that, but found the vanilla and chocolate better than the plain which had more of an almond taste. Also, try different brands of soy milk if they are available. You might find you like some better than others. That was the case for me anyhow.

My son loves Rice Dream, original enriched. The rice milk is too sweet for me, (and tastes too much like rice...) though and I prefer Soy Dream, original enriched. I even cook with it. BUT... I Love 8th Continent chocolate soy milk. It's soooo good. But it's too sweet, so I tone it down a bit by adding some original soy milk into it! LOL. The rest of my family drinks regular ol' cow milk.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2002 Report Share Posted October 6, 2002 I like Rice Dream Vanilla Enriched although I use plain for cooking. I guess my favorite Soy Milk would be Silk. I think that their chocolate variety is scrumptious. I also like Almond Milk in any flavor. The vanilla kind is great warmed and flavored with some extra vanilla syrup. I think that soy milk is also great when heated with honey, cinnamon, nutmeg and even a little bit of dried orange rind. It's great on a cold morning(which is rare here in Az!).

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2002 Report Share Posted October 6, 2002 Greetings, My favorite soy milk is Edensoy Extra Plain. I don't like sweets too much so don't go for the vanilla nor chocolate flavored. I find Edensoy delicious and will drink it room temperature right out of the box. On the other hand, my husband prefers Better Than Milk - a dry powder that is rehydrated with water. It comes in plain, vanilla, or chocolate. I will try the suggestion of heating soy milk with cinammon and nutmeg. When I was a little girl, my mother always gave me warm milk with cinammon to put me to sleep at night. I have great comforting memories from then. Thanks for the idea. windy --- Anne Johl <azannie5 wrote: > > I like Rice Dream Vanilla Enriched although I use > plain for cooking.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2002 Report Share Posted October 7, 2002 Anne Johl I also like Almond Milk in any flavor. The vanilla kind is great warmed and flavored with some extra vanilla syrup. I think that soy milk is also great when heated with honey, cinnamon, nutmeg and even a little bit of dried orange rind. It's great on a cold morning(which is rare here in Az!). Anne ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ That is a great idea. You all are inspiring me to try some more of this stuff. I am lacto-ovo so I have only tried some of the different soy milks out there, though never have I tried any in cooking. My daughter has a hard time digesting regular milk, but it doesn't seem to bother her in cheese, yogurt, or in cooking. In the morning she often drinks an instant breakfast shake with soy milk instead of cow milk. I will have to get her to try some of the almond milk, too. ~ F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 7, 2002 Report Share Posted October 7, 2002 Although I'm lacto-ovo, I do try to avoid dairy, especially for the children. They eat enough cheese as it is. So I use soymilk or rice milk or oatmilk (wonderfully sweet even without any sweeteners) for cooking, bechamel cream, cakes, breakfast cereals, etc... As for drinking, as they don't taste so great on their own, I only use them with carob powder and when I plan to give the children biscuits to dip in . That's a treat once in a while, of course. I try not to overdo it with soy dairy replacements anyway, as they are bad for health (I have lots in my files about that, I've made a thorough study because it was important to me. If anybody is interested I can send the info offlist). Soy in bean form is good, soy sauce is good, but soy milk and tofu should be used in moderation, so it's good there is rice milk , almond milk and oat milk for variety. Of course, it's not so interesting to put oatmilk in oat cereal, or even rice, which is another cereal, almonds are already there in the muesli, so in those cases I usually prefer soymilk.
