Guest guest Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 When I first started drinking soy milk, I noticed it did have a different taste from cow's milk (although I really can't explain it). Of course, I began with Vanilla soy milk because it was almost like having dessert in a glass. I soon switched to the light non-flavored soy milk. The longer I drink it...the more I've forgotten how cow's milk even tastes. It's pretty wonderful!

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 I think soy milk has a much better taste than reg milk. Becky ---- Donnalilacflower 11/10/2008 8:41:03 PM question about soy milk I detest milk. Soy milk tastes better but to me I adore rfce milk. I grew up on homemade rice milk and it's a very thin texture and doesn't remind me of milk at all, light refreshing taste.

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 In my opinion Soy milk tastes good. My market just started carrying unsweetened and that works great for my cereal. Did not care for the Vanilla and never tried the Chocolate. I have a pretty restricted diet so everything commercially processed tastes to sweet to me. As an adult I could never stand the taste of cow or goat milk. Have not tried the rice, hemp, almond or coconut milk yet. Or simply any of the other exotic veggie milks. Since I live in Carnivore country vegetarians are not well liked so I have to be just happy to have soy milk. , " Becky " <beckylynn114 wrote: > > I think soy milk has a much better taste than reg milk. > > Becky > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 Mariah, I love regular milk, but I think soy milk is ok -- I can eat it on cereal and in oatmeal, but I can't just drink it like I do cow's milk. I'll bet it's fine for cooking, too.

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 I have seen rice milk at the store, but I would love to be able to make all my own milk. Is there a recipe for the rice milk. I found a recipe to make almond milk and I like that one.
